Security profile

Claimed and verified servers get a weekly static scan that shows what the code can reach: external services, environment variables, shell commands, agent configuration folders, plus any dependencies with known advisories. Claim this listing to get one. How the security profile works

Documented tools (1)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

adaptive-inactive

the profile has not promoted it yet. Calling it returns a recoverable error naming the activation path, never "Unknown tool", so the model can fix its own problem in one step.
