Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

This is a well-structured MCP server for Qualys portal management with proper authentication architecture and a thoughtful safety tier system for destructive operations. However, there are moderate concerns around credential handling in function parameters, insufficient input validation on some API parameters, and broad network/API access that, while appropriate for the server's purpose, warrants user awareness. The destructive operation gating mechanism is a strong security design element. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
