Risk Summary

Block in Production

Excessive Permissions + Dep Visibility risk is significant. Avoid using this in production agents.

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

Recommended action: This tool should stay disabled in production agents until the flagged risks are fixed and the scan is clean.

Security Findings (57)

  • HighAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×13

    tool declares exec permission

    get_configset_config_valueread_filelist_directorysearch_filessearch_codeexecute_commandread_outputforce_terminatelist_sessions

    tool declares network permission

    read_filesearch_filessearch_code

    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-003

    🔀Scope Mismatch ×7

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

    get_config

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

    read_file

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

    list_directory

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

    search_files

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

    search_code

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

    read_output

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

    list_sessions

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

  • MediumAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×13

    tool declares fs permission

    get_configset_config_valueread_fileread_multiple_fileswrite_filecreate_directorylist_directorymove_filesearch_filessearch_codeget_file_infoedit_blockexecute_command

    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 ×6

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

    get_configset_config_valueread_filelist_directoryforce_terminatelist_sessions

    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-014

    ℹ️Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×18

    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 wonderwhy-er-desktop-commander"

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