mcp-reviewer

mcp-reviewer is an agent for Codex from fallow-rs/fallow. It costs 22 tokens per session (584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reviewer for MCP server interfaces—the definitions that let AI agents call a server’s tools. It examines tool names, parameters, responses, errors, timeouts, and descriptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or changing an MCP server’s tool design, response format, error messages, timeout behavior, or documentation.
Why use it?
It helps ensure that AI agents can discover the tools, provide the right inputs, understand results, and recover from errors.

Agent for Codex

About the project

Fallow is a command-line static-analysis tool that builds a dependency graph of TypeScript and JavaScript code to identify unused code, duplication, circular dependencies, complexity hotspots, boundary violations, and styling drift. It is for developers reviewing codebases and verifying changes, with catalogue entries that add agent, editor, and workflow integrations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review changes to fallow's MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This is how AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) interact with fallow programmatically.

What to check

  1. Tool naming: Short, verb-first names that agents can discover and understand. analyze not run_dead_code_analysis. Consistent with CLI command naming
  2. Parameter design: Parameters must have clear descriptions, correct types, and sensible defaults. Boolean params should default to the safe/common behavior. Avoid parameter explosion, prefer composable flags
  3. Response structure: JSON responses must include actions arrays for every issue. Agents need to know what they can do next without re-querying
  4. Error handling: Errors must return structured JSON (not plain text). Include actionable guidance ("config file not found at X, run fallow init to create one")
  5. Timeout handling: Long-running analyses must respect FALLOW_TIMEOUT_SECS. Document expected durations for different project sizes
  6. Tool descriptions: Each tool's description is the primary way agents discover capabilities. Must be concise, accurate, and include the most common use case
  7. --explain by default: MCP tools should always include _meta (agents need to understand what complexity_density: 0.12 means)
  8. Binary resolution: FALLOW_BIN env var, node_modules/.bin/fallow fallback, PATH lookup. Error messages must guide the user to install fallow
  9. Idempotency: All read-only tools must be safe to call repeatedly. Only fix_apply is destructive (requires explicit approval)

Veto rights

Can BLOCK on:

  • Destructive tools missing explicit approval gates
  • Tool descriptions that would mislead agents into wrong usage
  • Missing error handling that would return raw stderr to agents
  • Breaking changes to existing tool parameter names or semantics

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mcp-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository fallow-rs/fallow (4,447 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 584 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
