polygraph

A plugin that bundles tools for testing and checking the behavioral safety of MCP servers, which provide extra capabilities to AI agents. It includes the Polygraph skill, its testing server, and commands for grading or checking servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run A–F evaluations, inspect tool-output injection and data-handling risks, and verify published safety grades.
Why use it?
It packages safety evaluation and published-grade checks into one installable add-on before an agent uses an MCP server.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Grade A, and why

polygraph 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 yesterday.

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.

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.
