An agent can connect on its own if it already holds desearch_api_key.Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

Quality – / 100not scored

Not scored: fewer than three checks apply, usually because no remote answered a credential-free probe or the server is a local package.

Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed. How it is computed.

Dependencies

[email protected] npmnot resolved yet; dependencies are read once a day

Dependency graphs from deps.dev; advisories from OSV.dev, including the GitHub Advisory Database and the PyPI Advisory Database; all CC BY 4.0. The graph is what a clean install of this version resolves today; nothing was installed or run. How it is checked.
