03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED
Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.
Install-time hooks & dependenciesno flags
Code that runs when you install it, before you ever call a tool.
Runs code / shell commands3 findings
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:1651 — Code-execution surface: a exec/spawn call site. The server can run commands on the host; review what it executes and whether any input reaches it.
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:1667 — Code-execution surface: a exec/spawn call site. The server can run commands on the host; review what it executes and whether any input reaches it.

Secrets & credentials5 findings
INFOsrc/index.ts:2350 — Reads a secret-shaped environment variable. Ordinary for a credentialed server; recorded for completeness.
INFOsrc/index.ts:2354 — Reads a secret-shaped environment variable. Ordinary for a credentialed server; recorded for completeness.
INFOsrc/index.ts:2441 — Reads a secret-shaped environment variable. Ordinary for a credentialed server; recorded for completeness.

Network calls out7 findings
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:103 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'smithery.ai'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:107 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'json-schema.org'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:1341 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'api.wiley.com'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:1484 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'onlinelibrary.wiley.com'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:1609 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'export.arxiv.org'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMsrc/index.ts:1732 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'arxiv.org'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.

Prompt-injection passthrough1 finding
INFOsrc/index.ts — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.
Permission scope breadthno flags
How much access it asks for versus what its job needs.
How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
