Risk Summary

Needs Approval

Dep Visibility plus Excessive Permissions raises enough risk that this tool should not be auto-trusted.

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

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 (199)

  • HighAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×25

    tool declares exec permission

    create_gistcreate_repositoryget_copilot_spacelabel_writeupdate_gist

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

  • HighAS-003

    🔀Scope Mismatch

    get_copilot_space:tool name "get_copilot_space" 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.

  • HighAS-010

    🔑Insecure Secret Handling

    list_secret_scanning_alerts:input parameter "secret_type" appears to accept a secret or credential

    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.

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×36

    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 ×86

    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 github"

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