Security Report

5.2

Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

This is a read-only Kenya housing information server with five tools that return static DEMO data, no network calls, no shell execution, no credentials, and no file or environment access. The main issues are minor code quality points: the housing_finance_guide docstring and tool description are inconsistent with the code in places, affordable_housing_guide uses Field() defaults as plain parameter defaults (which will not behave as optional inputs), and the build/ directory duplicates source code. None of these are security-relevant and the permissions match the stated purpose. Supply chain analysis found 6 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
