Findings

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

Severity: High1 finding

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.

Severity: Medium3 findings

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: MediumStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-OVERLY-BROAD

Runs arbitrary code with open-world access

The tool runs code, commands or queries supplied at call time and does not declare a closed-world scope.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Narrow the tool to specific operations, or declare and enforce a closed-world sandbox.

Severity: MediumStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-SENSITIVE-PATH-REFERENCE

References credential or key locations

Model-facing text references credential, key or configuration file locations unrelated to the tool's stated purpose.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Remove references to credential files, key stores and client configuration files.

Severity: Low13 findings

Severity: LowStatus: OpenSQ-REPO-MISSING

No source repository linked

No source repository is linked in the registry entry.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Add a repository to server.json.

Severity: Info1 finding

Severity: InfoStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-EXFIL-SHAPED-PARAM

Free-text parameter commonly used to collect conversation data

A free-text parameter has a name commonly abused to collect conversation, prompt or environment data.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Constrain the parameter (enum, maxLength) or rename it to reflect its purpose; never ask the model to fill it with conversation content.

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.
