Findings
Detected by Squatch rules from the server's metadata and protocol behavior. Latest completed scan: .
Severity: High1 finding
Suggested fix: Require MCP authorization for servers that expose state-changing tools.
Severity: Medium1 finding
Severity: MediumStatus: OpenSQ-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.

Severity: LowStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-ANNOTATION-UNDERCLAIM
Annotations understate what the tool does
The tool declares itself read-only, but its name or description indicates it changes, deletes or runs something. Clients that auto-approve read-only tools would run it without confirmation.
First seen · Last seen
Suggested fix: Set readOnlyHint to false and destructiveHint to reflect the tool's behavior.

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.
