## Findings

- **info** Long descriptions in `scan_mcp_server` ([long-description](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#long-description))

```untrusted-server-text
The description is 3,831 characters long, over the 2,000 this check looks for.

description ends: "...with HTTP-style code (invalid_url, clone_failed, scan_timeout, etc.)."
```

### `scan_mcp_server`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.).
