MCP TrustOps

TrustOps turns this report into operational controls: freshness SLAs, authenticated validation, semantic benchmarks, policy exports, alert subscriptions, badges, cost/compliance metadata, and runtime routing. Fresh trusted index decisions stay separate from long-tail inventory so stale scores do not masquerade as current evidence.

Actionable remediation

SeverityRemediationWhy it mattersRecommended action
High Add confirmation and dry-run semantics for risky actions High-risk write, delete, exec, or egress tools should communicate safeguards clearly. Inspect the latest validation evidence and resolve the client-visible regression.
Playbook
  • Inspect the latest validation evidence.
  • Resolve the highest-severity client-facing gap first.
  • Revalidate and confirm the score and verdict improve.
High Align session and protocol behavior with Streamable HTTP expectations Clients increasingly rely on MCP-Protocol-Version, session teardown, and expired-session semantics. Align MCP-Protocol-Version, MCP-Session-Id, DELETE teardown, and expired-session handling with the transport spec.
Playbook
  • Return `Mcp-Session-Id` and `Mcp-Protocol-Version` headers consistently on streamable HTTP responses.
  • Honor `DELETE` session teardown and return `404` when a deleted session is reused.
  • Reject invalid protocol-version headers with `400 Bad Request`.
High Associate roots, sampling, and elicitation with active client requests Modern MCP guidance expects roots, sampling, and elicitation traffic to be tied to an active client request instead of arriving unsolicited on idle sessions. Inspect the latest validation evidence and resolve the client-visible regression.
Playbook
  • Inspect the latest validation evidence.
  • Resolve the highest-severity client-facing gap first.
  • Revalidate and confirm the score and verdict improve.

  • Include homepage, repository, support, tools, prompts/resources, and auth metadata.
  • Revalidate the server after publishing the card.
High Respond to auth mode changed Auth mode changed from unknown to oauth_supported. Document the new auth posture and confirm protected-resource and challenge metadata still match reality.
Playbook
  • Inspect the latest validation evidence.
  • Resolve the highest-severity client-facing gap first.
  • Revalidate and confirm the score and verdict improve.
High Respond to tool snapshot changed Tools were added, removed, or materially changed between the latest two validations. Publish a first-class changelog for tool additions, removals, and breaking schema changes.
Playbook
  • Review the tool snapshot diff for adds, removals, required-arg changes, and output-schema drift.
  • Publish a changelog before managed connector clients refresh their frozen tool snapshots.
  • Revalidate after the changelog and connector metadata are in sync.
High Respond to write-action surface expanded The number of high-risk write, delete, exec, or bulk-access tools increased on the latest run. Review the newly exposed write and destructive actions before publishing them broadly.
Playbook
  • Inspect the new write, delete, exec, or export tools for auth boundaries and confirmation semantics.
  • Add preview, dry-run, or explicit confirmation language where possible.
  • Delay public connector publication until the new blast radius is reviewed.
Medium Adopt a current MCP protocol revision Older protocol revisions reduce compatibility with newer clients and registry programs. Inspect the latest validation evidence and resolve the client-visible regression.

  • Revalidate and confirm the score and verdict improve.
Low Expose modern utility surfaces like completions, pagination, or tasks Utility coverage improves interoperability with larger clients and long-lived agent workflows. Expose completions, pagination, and task metadata where supported so larger clients can plan and resume work safely.
