Severity: MediumStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-CREDENTIAL-ARGUMENT

Suggested fix: Obtain credentials through server-side configuration or MCP authorization instead of tool arguments.

Severity: MediumStatus: ResolvedSQ-TOOL-INJECTION-INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions addressed to the AI model

Model-facing text contains instructions addressed to the AI model rather than a description of the tool (for example to override prior instructions, to act before using tools, or to react to trigger phrases).

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Describe what the tool does and its parameters. Do not include instructions to the model about other tools, the user or the conversation.

What this scan does not cover

  • Squatch never calls a server's tools, so it cannot see what they actually do at run time.
  • It scans without credentials: tools behind authentication may not be visible.
  • It does not review source code, dependencies or the publisher's infrastructure.
  • A server can change behavior between scans; monitoring compares each scan with the last.
  • Classifications come from tool names, descriptions and schemas, which the publisher controls.
