Risk Summary

Safe With Normal Controls

Excessive Permissions is the main signal, but overall risk remains within an acceptable range.

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

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 (83)

  • LowAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×6

    input schema exposes 28 properties (threshold: 10)

    firecrawl_scrape

    input schema exposes 14 properties (threshold: 10)

    firecrawl_search

    input schema exposes 11 properties (threshold: 10)

    firecrawl_find_tools

    input schema exposes 17 properties (threshold: 10)

    firecrawl_crawlfirecrawl_parse

    input schema exposes 15 properties (threshold: 10)

    firecrawl_monitor_create

    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 ×24

    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

    ℹ️Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×26

    No metadata.dependencies or repo_url were exposed by this MCP server, and no local project manifest could be inferred from the launch command.

    Fix: Review and remediate the identified issue.

  • InfoAS-010

    🔑Insecure Secret Handling

    firecrawl_credit_usage:input parameter "byApiKey" 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.

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 firecrawl-mcp-server"

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