Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

Metis is a well-architected Python MCP server for capturing and governing tacit knowledge fragments with careful attention to security and auditability. The codebase demonstrates strong patterns around data integrity (append-only ledger, CHAP evidence chain), proper isolation (per-workspace locking, transaction management), and permission governance. No critical vulnerabilities or malicious patterns detected. Minor code quality issues around error handling breadth and some validation gaps do not significantly impact the overall security posture. Supply chain analysis found 8 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 6 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
