Description, as the server wrote it
The facts an agent needs before installing or deploying one project: Docker files, arm64 build, GPU need, minimum RAM, outside services it needs, web port, what its README says it needs, docs and demo links, and upkeep (latest release, releases in 12 months, security advisories, its package). null means Archestack does not know. Archestack does not track hosting cost or deploy templates.

Why it is in this group
- The name "search_projects" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Find open-source AI projects across both Archestack lists by words and filters. Words match names, repos, taglines, categories and the products a project replaces; results rank by how many words match, then exact names, then projects whose name or category holds the words, then by score. Put hard needs in the filters, not the words (no_gpu instead of "without a GPU").
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Keep track

Get told when this server's tools change: a new tool, a new description, a new class.

Anlyon alternative

4 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
