What we checked

Security

  • Passed: Connections are encrypted (HTTPS).

  • Passed: No hidden instructions found in tool text.

Safety labels

  • Warning: 16 of 16 tools do not say whether they can change things.

    MCP lets a server label each tool as read-only or destructive, so clients can ask the user before risky calls. Unlabelled tools are treated as able to change things.
