Findings

Detected by Squatch rules from the server's metadata and protocol behavior. Latest completed scan: Nov 14, 2026, 05:24 UTC.

HighOpenSQ-SERVER-INSTRUCTIONS-INJECTION

The server's instructions field contains directives addressed to the AI model beyond describing how to use the server.

First seen Oct 18, 2026 · Last seen Nov 14, 2026

Suggested fix: Limit server instructions to usage guidance for this server's own tools.

MediumOpenSQ-TOOL-SENSITIVE-PATH-REFERENCE

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

First seen Oct 18, 2026 · Last seen Nov 14, 2026

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

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.
