Findings

Detected by Squatch rules from the server's metadata and protocol behavior. Latest completed scan: .

Severity: High3 findings

Severity: HighStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-CONCEALMENT

Text asks the AI model to hide actions from the user

Model-facing text instructs the AI model to hide actions or information from the user.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Remove any wording that asks the model to act silently or withhold information from the user.

Severity: HighStatus: OpenSQ-PUBLISHER-LOOKALIKE

Name resembles a well-known publisher

The name closely resembles a well-known publisher; it is not published under that publisher's verified namespace.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Publishers can respond to this finding; use a distinct name.

Severity: HighStatus: OpenSQ-SERVER-AUTH-NONE-WRITE

State-changing tools available without authentication

The remote server lists state-changing tools without requiring authentication.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Require MCP authorization for servers that expose state-changing tools.

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.
