Not tested
Not yet tested (no tools/list response without credentials).
What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-10
- Install from the registry
- We attempted an MCP initialize with no credentials; it did not complete, so we never reached the tool list (Method details:
initializefailed;tools/listnot sent) - Maintenance signals (last push, archived/deprecated status)
- Docs (README length, install and config example)
- License (OSI-approved or not)
- Token cost (estimate)
Not tested
- Security: not audited (no code review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
- Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
- Behaviour with real credentials or a real account
- Performance, rate limits or load
- Correctness of results beyond the listed tasks
Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
