BetterPost is a writing tool your agent can call. Give it a topic or a project, and it finds timely sources across news, social, and the open web, keeps only what's recent and relevant, ranks it, and writes the post — a newsletter, a blog post, a LinkedIn update, an X or Bluesky thread. The writing sounds like a person wrote it, and every draft is grounded in real, dated sources you can check, each with a link. You direct it from the chatbot or coding agent you already use; BetterPost does the research and the draft, and you read something worth publishing. Works as a remote MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, and more. The first call needs no signup and no key — your agent gets ten free generations, then you sign in and buy credits to keep going. Pay only for what you write: a failed generation isn't charged, and reading your own work is always free.

Risk Summary

Safe With Normal Controls

Secret Handling is the main signal, but overall risk remains within an acceptable range.

Potential impact: Sensitive credentials may be read, logged, or leaked to external systems.

Recommended action: No high-risk findings were detected in this scan, but you should still apply least-privilege defaults and rescan after changes.

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

Security Findings (66)

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×9

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

    betterpost_create_projectbetterpost_derive_contentbetterpost_list_contentbetterpost_get_contentbetterpost_add_sourcebetterpost_remove_sourcebetterpost_list_storiesbetterpost_add_storybetterpost_expand_coverage

    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-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×13

    declared capabilities: code/command execution, filesystem access

    betterpost_create_project

    declared capabilities: network access

    betterpost_derive_contentbetterpost_list_contentbetterpost_get_contentbetterpost_list_storiesbetterpost_add_storybetterpost_expand_coverage

    declared capabilities: filesystem access

    betterpost_delete_contentbetterpost_update_projectbetterpost_delete_projectbetterpost_update_settings

    declared capabilities: network access, filesystem access

    betterpost_add_sourcebetterpost_remove_source

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

  • InfoAS-010

    🔑Insecure Secret Handling ×22

    input parameter "token" accepts a credential (informational; not evidence of insecure handling)

    Fix: Avoid accepting raw credentials as input parameters. Use secret managers (e.g. 1Password CLI, AWS Secrets Manager) and ensure credentials are never logged or stored in agent traces.

  • InfoAS-014

    ℹ️Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×22

    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 betterpost-betterpost"

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