Full call logging

Every tool call is logged with complete inputs and outputs, so you can debug issues and audit what your agents are doing.

Tool access control

Enable or disable individual tools per connector, so you decide what your agents can and cannot do.

Managed credentials

Glama handles OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic rotation, so credentials never expire on your clients.

Usage analytics

See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.

Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.9/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

Only one tool exists, so there is no ambiguity. The tool is clearly described with specific use cases and limitations.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool name 'scan_mcp_server' follows a consistent verb_noun pattern, which is clear and descriptive.

Tool Count4/5

One tool is appropriate for a focused security scanner. While additional tools like listing past scans could enhance coverage, the current count is reasonable for the stated purpose.

Completeness5/5

The tool fully covers its intended domain: scanning public GitHub MCP-server repos for security issues. The description explicitly states what it does and does not do, leaving no obvious gaps.

Available Tools

scan_mcp_serverAInspect

Scan a public GitHub MCP-server repository for security issues.

Clones the repo (shallow, <60s, <200 MB), runs compuute-scan v0.6.2 in
static analysis mode (no code execution from the target), and returns a
structured report with severity counts, a 0-100 score, and the 10 most
severe findings.

WHEN TO USE:
  - Before connecting to an unknown MCP server discovered via Anthropic
    Registry, Smithery, mcp.so, or a Discord recommendation.
  - Before installing a third-party MCP-server package into a production
    pipeline.
  - As part of an agent's pre-commit / pre-deploy due-diligence step
    when adding new dependencies.
  - As one input to a multi-source trust evaluation (combine with
    publisher reputation, package install count, last-update recency).

WHEN NOT TO USE:
  - For private repos. Use the on-prem CLI instead:
      `npx compuute-scan ./path-to-private-repo`
  - For deep exploitability assessment of a specific code path. This is
    pattern matching, not dataflow analysis. Book a manual L2-L4 audit
    at https://compuute.se/audit for that depth.
  - For non-GitHub hosts (GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted). v1 supports
    github.com only.
  - For repos > 200 MB or clone time > 60s. The endpoint returns a 413
    or 504 in those cases — fall back to local CLI.

EXPECTED RESPONSE TIME:
  - Median: ~1-2 seconds for small repos (<100 files).
  - p99: ~10 seconds for medium repos.
  - Hard timeout at clone=60s, scan=120s combined.

EXPECTED COST:
  - Free tier in MVP. Future Pro tier may charge per-scan or per-month.

DATA FRESHNESS:
  - Scanner version is reported in response.scanner.version.
  - L1 rule set freshness reflects compuute-scan releases — see
    github.com/Compuute/compuute-scan/CHANGELOG.md for the latest CVE
    and threat-intel response timeline.

EXAMPLES:

  Example 1 — scan an MCP server you're evaluating:
    github_url = "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers"
    → score: 0, summary: {critical: 1, high: 94, medium: 22}
    → top_findings include SSRF, eval, etc.
    → recommendation: "AVOID — 1 critical and 94 high finding(s)..."

  Example 2 — scan a clean reference implementation:
    github_url = "https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-mcp"
    → score: 90+, summary: {critical: 0, high: 1}
    → recommendation: "REVIEW — 1 high finding(s)..."

  Example 3 — scan your own dev MCP-server before publishing:
    github_url = "https://github.com/yourorg/your-mcp"
    → audit your own surface before others install it

OUTPUT FIELDS (stable schema):
  - repo_url (str): canonical URL of the scanned repo.
  - score (int): 0-100, higher safer. Coarse summary, not a precision claim.
  - summary (object): {critical, high, medium, low, info, files_scanned}.
  - recommendation (str): action guidance derived from severity counts.
  - findings_count (int): total raw findings (may include false positives).
  - top_findings (list): up to 10 most severe, each with {id, title,
    severity, file, line, owasp, cwe}.
  - l0_discovery (object): MCP transport, tool count, dependency pinning.
  - performance (object): clone_seconds, scan_seconds, repo_size_bytes.
  - scanner (object): {name, version, layers_covered}.
  - _disclaimer (str): MANDATORY triage disclaimer. Read it.

Args:
  github_url: Public GitHub HTTPS URL (e.g. https://github.com/org/repo).
              Must be public and < 200 MB. v1 is github.com only.

Returns:
  Structured scan result. On error, returns {"error": code, "message": ...}
  with HTTP-style code (invalid_url, clone_failed, scan_timeout, etc.).

github_urlYes
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Discloses shallow clone, time limits, static analysis mode, expected response times, cost, data freshness, and limitations. No annotations provided, so description carries full burden.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with clear sections but somewhat lengthy. However, every sentence adds value given the tool's complexity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Extremely complete for a single-parameter tool with no annotations or output schema. Covers purpose, usage, behavior, parameters, examples, output fields, and error handling.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With only one parameter and 0% schema description coverage, the description adds crucial details: public HTTPS URL, size limit, and host restriction.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it scans a public GitHub MCP-server repository for security issues, with detailed explanation of the process and output.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit 'WHEN TO USE' and 'WHEN NOT TO USE' sections with specific scenarios and alternatives, such as using on-prem CLI for private repos.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
