Risk Summary

Needs Approval

Excessive Permissions plus Dep Visibility 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.
