Security Report

4.8
Use Caution4.8High Risk

This MCP server provides comprehensive Rundeck automation capabilities with proper authentication via API tokens stored in environment variables. The codebase is well-structured with appropriate input validation using Zod, consistent error handling, and no evidence of malicious patterns or credential exposure. Permissions align well with the server's purpose as a Rundeck management tool. Minor code quality improvements around error logging could be made, but these do not constitute security risks. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
