What is security-pass?

A security review procedure for an MCP server, covering tools, resources, prompts, permissions, inputs, authentication, tenant separation, and information leakage.

Use it before release, after changing handlers or services, or during a periodic review to inspect injection risks, excessive permissions, unsafe operations, and insecure input handling.

It helps find risks specific to servers that let an AI model act through tools and receive tool output in its context.

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.

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

security-pass scanned grade A with 2 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 9d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Smell:** `return { body: await fetch(url).then(r => r.text()) }` rendered directly in `format()`. Or: `description: \`Look up ${tenant.customLabel}\`` where `customLabel` is tenant-supplied.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

An MCP server is a new attack surface with unique properties — tool output feeds back into the LLM's context, scopes gate what the model can do on the user's behalf, and per-request state must stay tenant-scoped. This skill walks a server through eight axes shaped around what the server builder actually controls. Framework-level concerns (transport, JSON-RPC parsing, auto-correlation, error classification) are out of scope — mcp-ts-core handles those.

Read the code. Don't trust patterns from memory.

When to Use

Before a release
After adding or modifying a batch of handlers or services
Periodically (quarterly-ish)
User asks for a "security review", "audit", "hardening pass", or similar

Inputs

Gather before starting. Ask if unclear:

Scope — whole server, specific module, or recent diff?
Known concerns — anything the user already suspects?
Deployment context — multi-tenant? public network? auth mode? (stdio / local-http / public-http behave differently)
Severity floor — report all findings, or skip medium/low?

Steps

1. Build the map

Surface what you're auditing before diving in. Paths below assume the mcp-ts-core layout — adjust to your repo.

find src/mcp-server/tools/definitions -name "*.tool.ts" | sort
find src/mcp-server/resources/definitions -name "*.resource.ts" 2>/dev/null | sort
find src/mcp-server/prompts/definitions -name "*.prompt.ts" 2>/dev/null | sort
find src/services -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | sort

Note: tool / resource / prompt counts, auth mode, storage provider, upstream APIs, which tools have destructiveHint, which handlers use ctx.sample or ctx.elicit, which services hold module-scope state, whether the server reads roots.

If transport is streamable HTTP or SSE, also capture:

Bind address (127.0.0.1 for local, or 0.0.0.0 / public interface?)
Origin allowlist (DNS rebinding mitigation) — configured, or wildcard / missing?
Session ID source (framework CSPRNG, or builder-supplied?) and binding to auth identity
Any unauthenticated routes (/healthz, /sse, metadata endpoints) — do they leak tool lists or tenant hints?
MCP Authorization spec: if implemented, PKCE enforced, token audience (aud) checked, resource indicators used

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.

security-pass is a skill published in the GitHub repository wallieinformal201/pentest-mcp-server (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 4,821 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). It is 92% identical to security-pass, differing in 41 lines, and is treated as a copy.

Resolve missing setup caused by a hardcoded Foundry project endpoint or model in a sample. Use when a sample fails because it uses a placeholder/hardcoded projectendpoint (for example "https://your-project.services.ai.azure.com") or a hardcoded model instead of reading them from the environment.
