Security Report

6.0

Moderate6.0Moderate Risk

Only the README.md was provided, so no source code, dependencies, or implementation could be audited and the score reflects documentation alone. The server is designed to be unauthenticated (no API key or account), and its download_media tool implies server-side fetching of user-supplied URLs, which could enable SSRF or abuse if not validated. The scanner's 'confirmed dangerous' tool names (get_news, bind_email, etc.) do not appear in the documented tool list, so they could not be verified.
