Risk Summary

Needs Approval

Excessive Permissions plus Supply Chain CVEs raises enough risk that this tool should not be auto-trusted.

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

Recommended action: Keep this tool behind manual approval and avoid unattended runs until the risky capabilities are narrowed or removed.

Suggested policy: keep this tool behind manual approval, do not allow unattended runs, and re-scan after narrowing risky permissions.

Security Findings (22)

  • HighAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×2

    tool declares exec permission

    execute_shell_commandcreate_diff

    Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.

  • HighAS-004

    📦Supply Chain CVEs (OSV) ×9

    GO-2026-5024 in golang.org/x/[email protected]: Invoking integer overflow in NewNTUnicodeString in golang.org/x/sys/windows (upgrade to 0.44.0)

    execute_shell_commandcreate_diffopen_fileopen_projectcheck_extension_statusget_extension_portlist_available_projectsget_active_tabsget_context_tabs

    Fix: Upgrade or replace the vulnerable dependency. Pin all dependency versions and enable automated CVE scanning (Dependabot or OSV Scanner).

  • MediumAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×9

    tool declares fs permission

    execute_shell_commandcreate_diffopen_fileopen_projectcheck_extension_statusget_extension_portlist_available_projectsget_active_tabsget_context_tabs

    Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×2

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

    execute_shell_commandcreate_diff

    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.

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 vscode-mcp-server"

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