Quick Security Scan (Lite — 3 Dimensions)

1. Tool Description Integrity — /10

Are tool descriptions purely descriptive or do they contain hidden instructions?

Red flags:

Imperative language ("always do X before calling other tools")

References to other tools' behavior

Unusually long descriptions (more attack surface)

Instructions to ignore or override previous context

Scoring:

9-10: All descriptions purely descriptive, manually reviewed

5-6: Some imperative language, no hidden content detected

1-2: Active injection patterns, descriptions manipulate agent behavior

2. Permission Scope — /10

Do tools have the minimum permissions needed?

Red flags:

File system tools with root/home access instead of scoped directories

Database tools with write access when only reads are needed

Tools that can access environment variables or secrets

Admin-level access on tools that should be read-only

Scoring:

9-10: Every tool follows least-privilege, scoped to specific resources

5-6: Several tools have broad permissions, no systematic scoping

1-2: Tools have admin access, can access secrets, no boundaries

3. Supply Chain Trust — /10

Are your MCP servers from trusted sources?

Red flags:

Unverified community MCP servers with no source review

No version pinning (running "latest" = rug-pull risk)

Servers installed without security evaluation

No CVE monitoring for MCP dependencies

Scoring:

9-10: Verified publishers, pinned versions, source reviewed

5-6: Mix of trusted and unverified, some pinning

1-2: Random servers installed without evaluation
