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 (54)

  • HighAS-003

    🔀Scope Mismatch

    list_sessions:tool name "list_sessions" implies read-only operation but declares exec permission

    Fix: Ensure tool names, descriptions, and permission declarations are internally consistent. Use explicit naming conventions that fully reflect actual capabilities.

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×8

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

    read_filestart_searchget_more_search_resultsstop_searchlist_searchesstart_processforce_terminatelist_sessions

    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 ×19

    declared capabilities: filesystem access

    get_configset_config_valueread_multiple_fileswrite_filewrite_pdfcreate_directorylist_directorymove_fileget_file_infoedit_blockinteract_with_process

    declared capabilities: network access, filesystem access

    read_filestart_search

    declared capabilities: network access

    get_more_search_resultsstop_searchlist_searches

    declared capabilities: code/command execution, filesystem access

    start_process

    declared capabilities: code/command execution

    force_terminatelist_sessions

    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 ×26

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