Risk Summary
Safe With Normal ControlsDep 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 (109)
tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration

Implement exponential back-off and surface resource state to the calling agent.
create-pdf-file:input schema exposes 14 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.
Tool did not expose metadata.dependencies or repo_url, so supply-chain coverage is limited.
