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.

Security Findings (84)

  • CriticalAS-006

    💻Arbitrary Code Execution

    heuristic signal

    firecrawl_interact:tool name or description implies arbitrary script/code execution (evaluate_script, execute javascript, etc.)

    Fix: This tool can execute arbitrary code or shell commands on the host system. Remove it unless strictly required. If kept: (1) restrict access to trusted users/agents only, (2) require human approval before each invocation (Claude Desktop: set approval_required: true; other clients: enable equivalent confirmation), (3) use the most restrictive sandbox or read-only mode available, and (4) never expose this tool to untrusted input sources.

    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.

    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.

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
