Risk Summary
Block in ProductionExcessive Permissions + Dep Visibility risk is significant. Avoid using this in production agents.
Potential impact: The agent may gain overly broad access to files, network, databases, or execution capabilities.
Recommended action: This tool should stay disabled in production agents until the flagged risks are fixed and the scan is clean.

search_entitiesFix: Ensure tool names, descriptions, and permission declarations are internally consistent. Use explicit naming conventions that fully reflect actual capabilities.

get_open_targets_graphql_schemasearch_entitiesquery_open_targets_graphqlbatch_query_open_targets_graphqlFix: 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.
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 opentargets"Adjust the package name if your npm registry name differs from the tool ID. View source
