Kadent Scan tools (1, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsscan_mcp_serverwrite actionFreeRuns a free, read-only security scan of a remote MCP server before you connect it. Performs an ordinary MCP handshake (never anything more invasive), lists the server's tools, rates each one's capabilities (private-data access, untrusted content, network egress, destructive actions), flags prompt-injection patterns in tool descriptions, and reports whether the lethal trifecta is reachable. Scan only servers you run or are entitled to connect to.
