Use when an MCP server is about to be enabled, added to agent config, or upgraded -- a staged server config is a candidate for activation, a third-party server is proposed from a registry, or an existing entry changes transport, credentials, or tool surface.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Purpose

Triage the risk of an MCP server before it gains access to the session. An enabled server's tools execute with real filesystem, network, and credential reach; the review happens before enablement, not after the first incident.

## When to Use

- A staged MCP server config is a candidate for enabling
- A third-party MCP server is proposed from outside the repo
- An existing server entry changes transport, credentials, or tool surface
- A long-enabled server is due a periodic re-review

For filesystem-server path boundaries in depth, continue with the filesystem-mcp-guardrails skill after this triage.

## Inputs

- The server config entry: command, args, env, transport
- The server's declared tool list (from its manifest or a smoke run)
- What the session can reach if the server misbehaves

## Workflow

1. **Launch vector.** Pinned, locally installed binaries beat remote latest-version execution:

   ```sh
   rg -n 'npx -y|@latest|curl .*\| *sh' <config-file>
   ```

   Unpinned remote execution is a P1 by default — the server reviewed today is not necessarily the server that runs tomorrow.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/mcp-risk-review@sha256:664e6db810019c93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.835b58a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
