71 read · 4 write · 4 destructive. Blast radius: 4 tools can delete or overwrite — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling this one.

no_pricingreadSales agent must not quote prices
no_silent_tool_failurereadA tool call that went wrong must be acknowledged by the output. A call went wrong when it FAILED: a non-empty

Questions

What is the mcp-server MCP server?

Stop shipping agents on vibes. Score every agent output for quality, safety, and cost.

What tools does mcp-server expose?

79 in total: 71 read-only, 4 that write, and 4 that can delete or overwrite (delete_rule, delete_trace, no_delete_tools, should-not-land). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is mcp-server safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (27/100) and found 7 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 4 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does mcp-server need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, API_KEY, DEVTO_API_KEY, GATE_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, IRIS_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED, IRIS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, IRIS_API_KEY, IRIS_API_KEY_FILE, IRIS_OPENAI_API_KEY, IRIS_WEBHOOK_SECRET and KV_REST_API_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does mcp-server run?

It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as site at 0.1.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (f4f7c095933a), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
