Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

Hunch is a well-architected macOS automation MCP server with thoughtful security design, including consent gates, credential isolation via Keychain, and deterministic local operation (no cloud telemetry). However, the server's broad system-level capabilities and some implementation gaps in input validation and error handling introduce moderate risks that users should understand. The permissions granted (file I/O, accessibility API, AppleScript, network for web automation) are appropriate for its stated purpose of focus-free Mac control, but users must consciously approve sensitive operations via consent dialogs. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
