Tandem Docs is a remote MCP server for helping agents learn how to install, operate, and build with Tandem. Tandem is a bounded agentic workflow platform for repeatable, inspectable automation. This MCP gives agents direct access to the published Tandem docs so they can stay grounded in real product guidance instead of guessing. Use it to help agents: - install Tandem Engine - use the Python SDK - use the TypeScript SDK - build workflows and automations - run Tandem headless - discover the next docs to read for a task - inspect docs freshness, cache state, and refresh proofs The server exposes search, docs retrieval, structured guide endpoints, and JSON-RPC tools over the public remote endpoint at: https://tandem.ac/mcp Learn more and see setup instructions: https://tandem.ac/docs-mcp

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 (24)

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×4

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

    search_docsget_docrefresh_docs_indexrefresh_doc_page

    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-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×7

    declared capabilities: network access

    search_docsrefresh_docs_index

    declared capabilities: network access, filesystem access

    get_docrefresh_doc_page

    declared capabilities: filesystem access

    recommend_next_docsinvalidate_docs_cachecompare_doc_page_refresh

    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 ×13

    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 tandem-docs-mcp"
