Project-agnostic MCP server core + CLI plugin loader. Publishes @mcp-vertex/core and its plugins.
Cursor Rules are .cursorrules / .cursor/rules files that steer Cursor's AI; scanned with the same pipeline.
We found this by crawling public sources and nobody has attested to it. That is how most of the registry gets here, and it is not a mark against the artifact — it only means no authenticated act of publication is on record. An artifact can be the vendor's own and still appear here.
172 critical findings reported by cisco-skill-scanner, agent-audit-kit, 58 of them in the installed artifact. The composite score alone does not reflect this — read the per-scanner reports below.
Cursor Rules are .cursorrules / .cursor/rules files that steer Cursor's AI. Review the scanned source before copying them into your own project.

6 of 11 scanners examined this package. The rest do not apply to it — language, ecosystem and packaging decide which analyzers can say anything, and a scanner that cannot examine an artifact reports nothing rather than passing it.

Findings in files this artifact installs stand as reported; a model re-read the rest and said which ones it believes are false positives. This is a second opinion published beside the evidence, not a correction to it: the per-scanner reports above are unchanged, every dismissed finding is still listed there at its original severity, and the score and the Flagged badge are computed from those raw severities alone. Nothing below moved them.
Out of 1,651 findings across every scanner that examined this package. None of the 172 findings rated critical by their scanner were dismissed.
Not reviewed is not the same as clean. Those 650 findings stand exactly as their scanners reported them, at full severity, as they would have without this review.
Two keys had to turn. The model had to name a reason from a fixed list of six, and a deterministic check of ours — over which files this artifact actually installs — had to independently agree. Anything it could not corroborate is in “not reviewed” above, at full severity.

Critical command injection and credential exposure risks.
The artifact contains multiple critical command injection findings, including in `packages/client/src/lib/transport/mcp-stdio-client.ts`, which could lead to arbitrary shell execution. It also includes findings for exposed secrets like GitHub tokens and AWS keys, alongside potential credential harvesting. High severity findings indicate capabilities for file system access and clipboard data exfiltration.
Concern level assessed by the review: Critical. This is the review's scale, not the registry badge.
Showing 25 of 25; the rest are in the per-scanner reports above.
Reviewed by gemini-2.5-flash. The model sees the findings, not your code, and cannot change a score.
