The tag comes from the tool's name, not from its description. Capability rows describe what a tool could do if the model were manipulated. They are not threat findings: they raise the capability level, which is priced as a separate, visible term in the score.
A scan describes the source checked at a point in time. It is not a guarantee of safety.
The checks help you review access, instructions and dependencies in the source available to the scanner.

Make sure the report refers to the version and source you are reviewing.
A past scan does not describe every later change to dependencies or a running service.
Use the grade as a summary. Review the finding counts, the capability rows and the access requested before deciding to connect.
Status samples
A completed scan has a published result for the release shown.
No completed result for this release. The listing's Security tab says why.
Coverage depends on the source the scanner can access. The report should be read alongside the tool's setup and permissions.
| What you publish | What to check |
|---|---|
| MCP server with accessible source | Look for a completed scan, the source version and any published findings. |
| Remote endpoint or unavailable source | Check whether a source scan is available. Hosting location alone does not establish scan coverage. |
| Agent skill | Agent skills don’t currently receive an MCP server scan grade. Review their instructions and supporting files, including scripts, before use. |
Eligible MCP sources are queued for scanning after publication and for new releases. Results appear when processing completes. Sources that cannot be scanned do not receive a completed grade. An unchanged version is not scanned again.
Built by MCPRush for MCP servers, with public rules and a documented scoring methodology.

The rule catalogue is published and can be read in full.
The same source snapshot, scanner version, rules and advisory data give the same score.
Each result is filed under one listing release and is never carried over to another; a new release is scanned again.

A grade summarizes findings from the source and version that were scanned. It cannot guarantee future behavior or detect every risk. Review the capability rows and check the access requested by the tool.
A completed scan may be unavailable because the source has not been scanned yet, cannot be read, was refused after three attempts, or was scanned only at an older release. The listing's Security tab shows which.
There is no separate fee to view published grades and available scan reports. Account plans and paid tools have their own pricing.
MCP server grades do not automatically cover agent skills. Review the skill's instructions and supporting files, including any scripts, before using it.
Use Report this server on the listing, or the security route on the contact page, and include the listing, version and a description of the issue.
Do not include passwords, API keys or private customer data.
