What is teststand-mcp?

A plugin that lets an AI assistant build, edit, run, and document NI TestStand sequence files, which define automated test procedures. It is intended for 32-bit NI TestStand on Windows and includes related working rules.

It is for creating and maintaining TestStand test sequences, running them, documenting them, and handling related file checks and migrations.

It gives the assistant a supported way to work with TestStand files and helps keep sequence changes structured and checked. It is limited to the stated Windows and 32-bit TestStand setup.

Security

Grade A, and why

teststand-mcp 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 11d 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.

Contents

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 120 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Changes

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.
