Latest receipt: 4 of 8 checks flagged — the findings below are the record. SHA-256 of the exact bytes scanned: 86143098cdbe88129a577bc63048ee9764b3c05e8e13ea1d95cd74e22cd28927 · 8727 bytes · scanned 2026-10-27T12:21:18.160Z · scanner resource-scan-v1 · ledger entry 1545.

Analysis is static only: the bytes were read as text and were never executed, installed or run. Nothing was fetched from behind a login.

Checks (latest receipt)

• Outbound network references — flag

  The scanned bytes reference outbound network activity to these domains: anthropic.com, app.tavily.com, claude.ai, cursor.com, cursor.sh, docs.anthropic.com, git-scm.com, img.shields.io, mcp.tavily.com, medium.com, modelcontextprotocol.io, nodejs.org, smithery.ai, www.tavily.com. Any resource that reaches the network can send data out as well as bring data in; the findings name what the bytes reference, and the reader decides whether that fits the resource's stated purpose.

  Evidence: domain: anthropic.com; domain: app.tavily.com; domain: claude.ai; domain: cursor.com; domain: cursor.sh; domain: docs.anthropic.com; domain: git-scm.com; domain: img.shields.io; domain: mcp.tavily.com; domain: medium.com; domain: modelcontextprotocol.io; domain: nodejs.org; domain: smithery.ai; domain: www.tavily.com

• Credential and environment access — flag

  The scanned bytes contain credential or environment access patterns: secret-named variables (API_KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD and similar names); authorization headers and bearer values. The receipt names the pattern kinds only; no credential value is reproduced here.

  Evidence: secret-named variables (API_KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD and similar names); authorization headers and bearer values

• Install and postinstall hooks — pass

  No install or postinstall hooks were found in the scanned bytes.

• Obfuscation and encoded payloads — flag

  The scanned bytes carry obfuscation or encoding signs: 1 long base64-shaped run (120+ characters). Encoded content cannot be read from the bytes alone, so what it does cannot be checked from the bytes alone either.

  Evidence: 1 long base64-shaped run (120+ characters)

• Shell-outs and download-and-execute — pass

  No shell-out or download-and-execute patterns were found in the scanned bytes.

• Permission declarations vs behavior — flag

  The bytes show network, credentials behavior, and no permissions declaration was found in the scanned bytes to compare it against.

  Evidence: behavior: network; behavior: credentials

• Known-bad indicators — pass

  None of the scanner's published known-bad indicator patterns matched the scanned bytes.

• Provenance facts (weak signals) — pass

  Provenance facts, labeled weak signals — they say where the bytes sit, not what the bytes do: source host: github.com; repository: tavily-ai/tavily-mcp; bytes scanned: 8727; fetched from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tavily-ai/tavily-mcp/HEAD/README.md.

  Evidence: source host: github.com; repository: tavily-ai/tavily-mcp; bytes scanned: 8727; fetched from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tavily-ai/tavily-mcp/HEAD/README.md
