Risk Summary

Safe With Normal Controls

Excessive Permissions is the main signal, but overall risk remains within an acceptable range.

Potential impact: The agent may gain overly broad access to files, network, databases, or execution capabilities.

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 (13)

  • HighAS-012

    🔄Tool Drift

    Tool set changed silently at v1.0: 3 tool(s) added, 29 tool(s) removed without a version bump.

    Fix: The set of tools exposed by this server changed between scans of the same version — a sign the package was silently updated without a version bump. Audit the changelog and all tool definitions before trusting this server. Pin to a specific commit hash rather than a floating version tag.

  • HighAS-003

    🔀Scope Mismatch

    get_decision_details:tool name "get_decision_details" implies read-only operation but declares exec permission

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

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×3

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

    preflight_change_setverify_receiptget_decision_details

    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.

  • LowAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions

    verify_receipt:input schema exposes 12 properties (threshold: 10)

    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-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×3

    declared capabilities: code/command execution, network access

    preflight_change_set

    declared capabilities: code/command execution, environment variables

    verify_receipt

    declared capabilities: code/command execution

    get_decision_details

    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 ×3

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

    preflight_change_setverify_receiptget_decision_details

    Fix: Review and remediate the identified issue.

  • InfoAS-010

    🔑Insecure Secret Handling

    verify_receipt:input parameter "token" accepts a credential (informational; not evidence of insecure handling)

    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 owasp-mcp-governance-and-risk-project"

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