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 (99)

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×5

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

    restart_podget_cluster_infocreate_jobcreate_network_policylist_flux_sources

    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 ×75

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

  • InfoAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×17

    declared capabilities: HTTP requests

    restart_pod

    declared capabilities: network access

    get_cluster_infolist_flux_sources

    declared capabilities: code/command execution, filesystem access

    create_job

    declared capabilities: filesystem access

    create_configmapupdate_configmapcreate_secretupdate_secretcreate_deploymentdelete_deploymentcreate_namespacedelete_namespacecreate_horizontal_pod_autoscalercreate_serviceupdate_ingressremove_taint

    declared capabilities: network access, filesystem access

    create_network_policy

    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-010

    🔑Insecure Secret Handling ×2

    input parameter "secretName" accepts a credential (informational; not evidence of insecure handling)

    create_secretupdate_secret

    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 kubernetes-mcp-server"

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