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 (18)

  • CriticalAS-006

    💻Arbitrary Code Execution

    heuristic signal

    run_js: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.

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×5

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

    take_screenshotextract_linksextract_tablesfill_formrun_js

    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-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×6

    declared capabilities: network access

    scrape_urltake_screenshotextract_linksextract_tablesfill_form

    declared capabilities: code/command execution, network access

    run_js

    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-014

    ℹ️Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×6

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

    scrape_urltake_screenshotextract_linksextract_tablesfill_formrun_js

    Fix: Review and remediate the identified issue.

Scan this tool yourself
