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 (28)

  • HighAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×6

    tool declares network permission

    GOOGLE_MAPS_DISTANCE_MATRIX_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODING_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_GET_DIRECTIONGOOGLE_MAPS_MAPS_EMBED_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_NEARBY_SEARCHGOOGLE_MAPS_TEXT_SEARCH

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

  • MediumAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×2

    tool declares fs permission

    GOOGLE_MAPS_MAPS_EMBED_API

    tool declares db permission

    GOOGLE_MAPS_TEXT_SEARCH

    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-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×6

    input schema exposes 13 properties (threshold: 10)

    GOOGLE_MAPS_DISTANCE_MATRIX_API

    input schema exposes 11 properties (threshold: 10)

    GOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODING_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_GET_ROUTE

    tool declares http permission

    GOOGLE_MAPS_MAPS_EMBED_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_NEARBY_SEARCHGOOGLE_MAPS_TEXT_SEARCH

    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 ×6

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

    GOOGLE_MAPS_DISTANCE_MATRIX_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_GEOCODING_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_GET_DIRECTIONGOOGLE_MAPS_MAPS_EMBED_APIGOOGLE_MAPS_NEARBY_SEARCHGOOGLE_MAPS_TEXT_SEARCH

    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 ×8

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

    Fix: Review and remediate the identified issue.

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 google-maps"
