Risk Summary

Safe With Normal Controls

Dep 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 (100)

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×4

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

    undo_last_changeset_mssql_connectionmysql_to_dashboardmssql_to_dashboard

    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 ×5

    input schema exposes 23 properties (threshold: 10)

    configure_chart

    input schema exposes 29 properties (threshold: 10)

    configure_dual_axis

    input schema exposes 21 properties (threshold: 10)

    configure_worksheet_style

    input schema exposes 12 properties (threshold: 10)

    mysql_to_dashboard

    input schema exposes 13 properties (threshold: 10)

    mssql_to_dashboard

    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 ×55

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

  • InfoAS-010

    🔑Insecure Secret Handling ×2

    input parameter "password" accepts a credential (informational; not evidence of insecure handling)

    mysql_to_dashboardmssql_to_dashboard

    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.
