Brave Search is good but the MCP wrapper adds little value. Just use the API directly. Unnecessary abstraction layer.

03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED

Not yet security-checkedThis tool has not been through the security scan yet. Absence of a result is not a verdict either way.

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.
