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 commandsno flags
Whether the server can execute commands on your machine.
Secrets & credentials1 finding
INFOsrc/ebook_mcp/mcp_client_example/deepseek_example.py:46 — Reads a secret-shaped environment variable. Ordinary for a credentialed server; recorded for completeness.
Network calls out1 finding
MEDIUMsrc/ebook_mcp/mcp_client_example/deepseek_example.py:47 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'api.deepseek.com'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
Prompt-injection passthrough1 finding
INFOsrc/ebook_mcp/tests/test_epub_helper.py — 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.
