Risk Summary

Needs Approval

Excessive Permissions plus Missing Rate Limits 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 (13)

  • HighAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×5

    tool declares network permission

    microsoft_docs_searchmicrosoft_code_sample_searchmicrosoft_docs_fetch

    tool declares exec permission

    microsoft_docs_searchmicrosoft_code_sample_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 db permission

    microsoft_docs_searchmicrosoft_code_sample_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 ×3

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

    microsoft_docs_searchmicrosoft_code_sample_searchmicrosoft_docs_fetch

    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 ×3

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

    microsoft_docs_searchmicrosoft_code_sample_searchmicrosoft_docs_fetch

    Fix: Review and remediate the identified issue.

Scan this tool yourself
