Security Report

5.2

Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

coldstart is a well-architected MCP server for codebase indexing and agent-written knowledge management. The codebase demonstrates solid security practices with proper input validation, no credential handling, and appropriate permission scoping. Minor code quality observations (broad exception handling, logging patterns) do not materially impact security. The server's design—stateless readers over a local cache with no external network calls—inherently limits attack surface. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 0 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
