Inferred from the transports this listing declares (stdio). A client not listed here hasn’t been ruled out — it just isn’t something Forge can confirm.

Verification confirms publisher identity (repo ownership), not code safety. The security scan covers known CVEs and suspicious install scripts.

Statically extracted from the published packagev1.0.2 · 19h ago

Read out of the source npm actually ships, at scan time. The package was never executed. Tools registered dynamically at runtime, or hidden inside bundled or minified code, can be missed — so this is a floor on the tool surface, not a complete census of it.

get_snapshotsList the Wayback Machine snapshot history for a URL, optionally limited to a date range.

status_historyOne row per archived month with the HTTP status recorded then, so a page that started redirecting or failing can be dated.

snapshot_diffCompare the same page in two archived years and list the wording that appeared and the wording that vanished.

broken_pagesArchived captures across a domain that were not HTTP 200 - redirects and dead pages, which is what link rot looks like.

content_profileWhat a domain's archive is made of rather than when it was captured: every capture grouped into pages, stylesheets, scripts, images, PDFs and the rest, with each family's share, the top mime types, status-code spread and the busiest path prefixes.

prefix_inventoryWhat lives under a path: the archived URLs beneath a domain prefix, how many there are, the years they span, the sections one level down ranked by size, and the status and content mix. Answers the inventory question behind 'what did this part of the site contain'.

12 of 12 tools published a description.

Tool names and descriptions are written by the publisher and shown verbatim as inert text. They are the strings an MCP client passes to a model, so Forge scans them for prompt-injection patterns — any finding appears with the security scan above. “Privileged” is a keyword match on the tool name, not an audit of what the tool does: a benign-sounding name can still do anything.

Dependency tree

What one Forge scan resolved from npm metadata on 2026-10-03 — observed resolution, not a publisher declaration.

60 packages resolved · 2 direct · none carrying advisories Resolution stops at depth 4 and 60 packages.

The crawl stopped at the depth-4 limit. Anything below that level was never resolved.

The crawl stopped at the 60-package limit. The rest of the tree was never resolved.

36 more resolved packages are not drawn here (display cap: 24). Every dependency carrying an advisory is drawn regardless of the cap. Full inventory (CycloneDX SBOM)

Declared but not resolved

54 declared dependencies never landed in the tree. They are missing from Forge's resolution, not from the package.

+42 more not listed. The counts by reason above cover all of them.

Not followed: peerDependencies. This tree covers runtime dependencies only, so anything those pull in was never resolved.
