Risk Summary

Safe With Normal Controls

Dep Visibility is the main signal, but overall risk remains within an acceptable range.

Potential impact: This finding indicates the tool should be reviewed before it is trusted.

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 (17)

  • LowAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions

    clinicaltrials_search_studies:input schema exposes 18 properties (threshold: 10)

    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

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×4

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

    clinicaltrials_search_studiesclinicaltrials_get_study_recordclinicaltrials_get_study_countclinicaltrials_get_study_results

    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 ×5

    declared capabilities: network access

    clinicaltrials_search_studiesclinicaltrials_get_study_recordclinicaltrials_get_study_results

    declared capabilities: network access, database access

    clinicaltrials_get_study_count

    declared capabilities: filesystem access, database access

    clinicaltrials_get_field_definitions

    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-014

    ℹ️Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×7
