Risk Summary

Needs Approval

Excessive Permissions plus Missing Rate Limits raises enough risk that this tool should not be auto-trusted.

Potential impact: The agent may gain overly broad access to files, network, databases, or execution capabilities.

Recommended action: Keep this tool behind manual approval and avoid unattended runs until the risky capabilities are narrowed or removed.

Suggested policy: keep this tool behind manual approval, do not allow unattended runs, and re-scan after narrowing risky permissions.

    Fix: The set of tools exposed by this server changed between scans of the same version — a sign the package was silently updated without a version bump. Audit the changelog and all tool definitions before trusting this server. Pin to a specific commit hash rather than a floating version tag.

    Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.

  • LowAS-011

    ℹī¸Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×6

    tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration

    Fix: Declare explicit rate-limit, timeout, and retry configuration for all network and execution tools. Implement exponential back-off and surface resource state to the calling agent.

  • InfoAS-014

    ℹī¸Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×6

    Tool did not expose metadata.dependencies or repo_url, so supply-chain coverage is limited.

Scan this tool yourself

Reproduce this audit locally, integrate into CI, or let your agent audit its own tools.

Install once, then scan any MCP server:

$ curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AgentSafe-AI/tooltrust-scanner/main/install.sh | bash
$ tooltrust-scanner scan --server "npx -y aws-mcp-server"

Adjust the package name if your npm registry name differs from the tool ID. View source
