Every server starts at 100. These are the exact deductions the deterministic engine applied — each one reproducible, none of it an opinion or an LLM's guess:
| Points | What was found | Category |
|---|---|---|
| −22 | Hardcoded AWS access key id in server code MTC-SRC-008 | exfiltration |
| −15.4 | Obfuscated / encoded payload in server code MTC-SRC-004 | injection |
| −2.1 | Package has no source repository MTC-SUP-011 | supply-chain |
Grade capped: 1 confirmed high finding → grade capped at C. A hard gate overrides the point total — no amount of clean surface buys back a confirmed catastrophe.
Capability observations and info notes are shown under Findings but never scored.

Findings 18
high Hardcoded AWS access key id in server code (src/skill_seekers/cli/storage/s3_storage.py)MTC-SRC-008
A live-looking AWS access key id is hardcoded in `src/skill_seekers/cli/storage/s3_storage.py:43`. Secrets in source ship to everyone who installs the package and are a direct credential leak.
Evidence: AWS access key id: AKIA…(redacted)
Fix: Remove the secret, rotate it, and load credentials from the environment or a secret store.
Location: server src/skill_seekers/cli/storage/s3_storage.py
high Obfuscated / encoded payload in server code (tests/test_pdf_scraper.py)MTC-SRC-004
In the server's implementation (`tests/test_pdf_scraper.py:377`): Decoding an encoded blob and executing it is how malicious logic is hidden from human review of the source. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.
Evidence: \x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x01\x08\x06\x00\x00\x00\x1f\x15\xc4\x89\x00\x00\x00
Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.
Location: server tests/test_pdf_scraper.py
high Shell/command execution in server code (src/skill_seekers/cli/agent_client.py)MTC-SRC-002
In the server's implementation (`src/skill_seekers/cli/agent_client.py:660`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.
Evidence: subprocess.run(
Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

medium Hardcoded egress to an external endpoint (src/skill_seekers/cli/config_command.py)MTC-SRC-003
In the server's implementation (`src/skill_seekers/cli/config_command.py:481`): A hardcoded outbound call to a fixed external host inside server code is a classic exfiltration/telemetry channel — especially paired with reads of local data. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

In the server's implementation (`src/skill_seekers/cli/doctor.py:74`): Loading a module chosen at runtime (from a variable) can pull in and run attacker-influenced code paths.

low Package has no source repositoryMTC-SUP-011
"skill-seekers" declares no repository URL, so its published artifact cannot be compared against reviewable source.
Fix: Prefer packages that link to public, reviewable source.

What this scan could not see
- No tools were enumerated, so prompt-injection, capability and toxic-flow analysis had no tool surface to inspect. To grade a package’s real runtime tools, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".
Versions
Scan history per published version. The engine is deterministic — the same version always yields the same score, so a changed score means the package itself changed.
| Version | Score | Findings | Engine | Scanned |
|---|---|---|---|---|
v3.8.0 latest |
D 61/100 | 18 | 1.5.0 | 2026-07-22 |
Embed this score
Show this server's live Trust Score in your README, docs or website. The badge is served straight from the registry and updates automatically after every rescan — no API key needed. It links back to this page, so anyone who sees the grade can also read the findings behind it instead of taking a number on faith.
Verify this score yourself
The score above is reproducible: the same package version always yields the same result. Run it locally or over the free API — no account, no LLM, fully deterministic.
