 ## [Unreleased]
+## [0.3.0]
+Directory readiness, the 2026-07-28 protocol rules, tool annotations and toxic flows.
+Report schema 0.3 (additions only). 24 passive checks, up from 16.
+### Added
+- **META-06 Tool annotation lint.** Missing `readOnlyHint`, `openWorldHint` and title on
+  every tool, `destructiveHint`/`idempotentHint` on every tool not marked read-only (the
+  spec says they only mean something then), non-boolean hints, and annotations that
+  contradict the tool's apparent capability (read-only or non-destructive on something
+  that executes, writes, deletes, sends or pays; closed-world on a network tool). Medium
+  when a dangerous-class tool is mislabelled, low when annotations are only missing;
+  one finding lists every tool. Fix text cites Anthropic's directory policy (5E) and
+  OpenAI's app review.
+- **META-07 Toxic flow (lethal trifecta).** Warns when one server offers access to
+  private data, intake of untrusted content and a way to send data out, listing the
+  tools in each role. Medium; high when the endpoint needs no authentication. A tool
+  advertising arbitrary command execution counts for all three roles.
+- **2026-07-28 checks**, each verified against the specification text on
+  modelcontextprotocol.io and not applicable (with the negotiated revision as the
+  reason) on servers that speak an earlier revision:
+  - TRANS-06 `server/discover` result: `supportedVersions` including 2026-07-28,
+    `capabilities`, `resultType: "complete"`; missing `serverInfo` is informational.
+  - TRANS-07 a protocol version the server does not list in `supportedVersions` is
+    served instead of rejected with HTTP 400 / `UnsupportedProtocolVersionError`
+    (-32022): downgrade acceptance. One request.
+  - TRANS-08 `Mcp-Method` header that differs from the body, or is missing, is not
+    rejected with HTTP 400 / `HeaderMismatch` (-32020). Two requests. `Mcp-Name` is
+    not tested passively (it exists only for `tools/call`, `resources/read`,
+    `prompts/get`).
+  - TRANS-09 `ttlMs` (number >= 0) and `cacheScope` (`public`/`private`) missing or
+    invalid on `server/discover` and list results. Sends nothing.
+  - AUTH-05 authorization server metadata does not advertise
+    `authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported: true` (RFC 9207). Sends nothing.
+  - AUTH-06 deprecated Dynamic Client Registration offered without Client ID Metadata
+    Documents (low), or alongside them (informational). Sends nothing.
+  - "Deprecated HTTP+SSE still reachable" stays TRANS-04 (no new ID).
+- **Directory readiness** (`readiness` in the JSON report): Anthropic 5D/5E/2G/3F,
+  OpenAI annotations, HubSpot no-critical/high, exfiltration/poisoning risk and HTTPS,
+  each `met` / `not_met` / `not_assessable` with source URL, check IDs and a note.
+  Derived only from checks that ran; ownership (3F) is always not assessable from the CLI.
+- **Rate-limit handling.** HTTP 429 is honoured with `Retry-After` (1 s when absent), at
+  most 3 retries per request, within a scan-wide waiting budget (`--rate-limit-wait`,
+  default 30 s). When the budget is used up, the checks that met the throttled
+  responses are reported `not_applicable` (blocked) and their findings withheld,
+  instead of drawing conclusions from throttled responses. DOS-01's burst still
+  observes 429 directly. A target that rate-limits negotiation is reported
+  `unreachable`, not "not an MCP server".
+- **Optional Hugging Face judge for META-01** (`--judge hf:<model-id-or-path>`,
+  `--judge-download`, `--judge-threshold`; extra `mcpprobe-scanner[hf]`). Off by
+  default, safetensors only, no remote code, no download unless asked. Licence notes in
+  docs/judges.md.
+- `scripts/benchmark_judge.py` and docs/benchmark.md: precision, recall and false-positive
+  rate of META-01 on the in-sample corpus and on a new held-out set (65% recall at medium
+  or above, 0 false positives on 40 benign descriptions). The Hugging Face Hub was not
+  reachable when the numbers were produced, so no public dataset or classifier was scored.
+- Report schema 0.3: `checks[].blocked`, `fingerprint.supported_versions`, `readiness`.
+- Fixture `trifecta` (a conformant 2026-07-28 server whose tools form the trifecta); all
+  its check outcomes are pinned in CI.
+### Changed
+- Annotation contradictions moved from META-03 to META-06 (reported once). META-03 is
+  now titled "Dangerous tool capability exposed". E-mail and payment tools count as
+  writes only when a mutating verb (send, charge, refund, ...) is present, so a
+  read-only `list_emails` marked `readOnlyHint: true` is no longer a contradiction.
+- 2026-07-28 requests now carry the required `io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities`
+  and the recommended `clientInfo` in `_meta`.
+- The fingerprint reads `supportedVersions` and `_meta["io.modelcontextprotocol/serverInfo"]`
+  from `server/discover` as the 2026-07-28 schema defines them (the pre-release keys are
+  no longer merged into `server_info`).
+- The `hardened` fixture is now dual-era (2026-07-28 and 2025-11-25) with
+  spec-conformant `server/discover`, header validation, caching hints, RFC 9207 and
+  CIMD metadata; it still produces zero findings.
+### GitHub Action
+- The Action now names its outcome: one annotation per run (`mcpprobe: findings`,
+  `mcpprobe: not an MCP server`, `mcpprobe: scan error`, or a `mcpprobe: passed`
+  notice), a job summary with a severity table, and a new `result` output (`clean`,
+  `findings`, `error`, `not-mcp`). Exit code 3 (not an MCP server) is documented in
+  the `exit-code` output. `sarif-file` is empty when no SARIF was written.
+- `action.yml` description shortened to 115 characters for GitHub Marketplace.
+- README and new `docs/github-action.md` pin `@v0.3.0` and upload SARIF only for exit
+  codes 0 and 1: SARIF from an error or a non-MCP target has no results and would
+  close every open alert. New manual-only example workflow
+  `.github/workflows/example-scan.yml`.

+2026-07-28 says MCP authorization servers SHOULD include the RFC 9207 'iss' parameter in authorization responses and, when they do, MUST advertise authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported: true in their metadata; clients reject a response without iss only when that flag is true. Reads the authorization server metadata AUTH-03 already fetched and reports a flag that is absent or not true. Sends nothing. The revision says this SHOULD is expected to become a MUST.
+**False positives.** The spec allows a server to emit iss before it updates its metadata; such a server is reported until the flag is published, because clients key their rejection on the flag.
+**Fix.** Include iss in every authorization response, error responses too (RFC 9207 section 2), and publish "authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported": true in the authorization server metadata (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/authorization#authorization-response-validation).

+2026-07-28 deprecates OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents, which authorization servers SHOULD support. Reads the authorization server metadata AUTH-03 already fetched: a registration_endpoint without client_id_metadata_document_supported: true is low (clients have only the deprecated path); a registration_endpoint next to CIMD support is informational (kept for backwards compatibility). No registration request is sent.
+**False positives.** Keeping DCR for older clients is allowed; the informational finding is a reminder to plan its removal, not a defect. An authorization server that supports neither DCR nor CIMD (pre-registration only) is not reported here.
+**Fix.** Support Client ID Metadata Documents and advertise "client_id_metadata_document_supported": true; keep registration_endpoint only while older clients still need it, and plan its removal (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/authorization/client-registration). Open registration endpoints also deserve rate limits and redirect-URI validation.

+| Evidence | The fingerprinting server/discover request and its complete result. |
+A 2026-07-28 server MUST implement server/discover. The scanner's first request is server/discover; when it is answered, its result is checked for what the revision requires: supportedVersions (a list of version strings that includes the 2026-07-28 revision the request was served under), a capabilities object and resultType 'complete'. A missing _meta['io.modelcontextprotocol/serverInfo'] (SHOULD) is reported as informational. Caching hints on the same result are checked by TRANS-09. Not applicable to servers that speak an earlier revision through initialize.
+**False positives.** A server that answers server/discover under an earlier result shape (for example a 'protocolVersions' key from a pre-release draft) is reported, because 2026-07-28 clients read 'supportedVersions'.
+**Fix.** Return the DiscoverResult defined in the 2026-07-28 schema: {"resultType":"complete","supportedVersions":["2026-07-28", ...],"capabilities":{...},"_meta":{"io.modelcontextprotocol/serverInfo":{"name":...,"version":...}},"ttlMs":...,"cacheScope":"public"} (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/server/discover).

+Takes supportedVersions from the server/discover result and sends one more server/discover declared (in _meta and in the MCP-Protocol-Version header) as the newest earlier revision the server does not list (2025-11-25, 2025-06-18 or 2025-03-26). The spec says a server that does not implement the requested version MUST answer HTTP 400 with UnsupportedProtocolVersionError (-32022). Serving the request anyway means a client or intermediary can push the server onto a revision it claims not to support, without the header validation and other protections of 2026-07-28. One request, no tool is called.
+**False positives.** A dual-era server that does serve the older revision but forgot to list it is reported too; listing it in supportedVersions is then the fix. Not applicable when every earlier revision is advertised.
+**Fix.** Reject any request whose declared protocol version is not in your supportedVersions with HTTP 400 and {"code":-32022,"message":"Unsupported protocol version","data":{"supported":[...],"requested":"..."}}, before doing any work (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/versioning).

+| Evidence | Both probe requests (headers shown) and their responses. |
+2026-07-28 requires clients to mirror the JSON-RPC method into an Mcp-Method header, and servers that process the body MUST reject a request whose headers are missing or do not match the body with HTTP 400 and HeaderMismatch (-32020); otherwise a gateway that routes, rate-limits or authorises on the header can be bypassed by a body that says something else. Sends two server/discover requests: one with 'Mcp-Method: tools/list' and one with no Mcp-Method header. Mcp-Name is not tested, because it is only defined for tools/call, resources/read and prompts/get, which a passive scan does not send.
+**False positives.** A server that rejects the probes with another 4xx is reported as informational only. When a gateway in front rejects mismatches itself, the finding concerns the server behind it only if the gateway can be bypassed.
+**Fix.** Before dispatching, compare Mcp-Method (and, for tools/call, resources/read and prompts/get, the decoded Mcp-Name) with the body; when a required header is missing or differs, answer HTTP 400 with {"code":-32020,"message":"Header mismatch: ..."} (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/transports/streamable-http#server-validation).

Checks the results the scan already received; sends nothing. A missing cacheScope leaves shared gateways to guess whether a list may be served to other users.
+**False positives.** Only the first page of each list is checked. A public cacheScope on an authenticated server is allowed by the spec when the list is the same for every user, so it is not reported.
+**Fix.** Add "ttlMs": <milliseconds, >= 0> and "cacheScope": "public" (identical for every user) or "private" (depends on the caller's authorization) to every cacheable result (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/server/utilities/caching).

+Reads each tool's annotations from tools/list. Reported as missing: readOnlyHint, openWorldHint and a title (tool.title or annotations.title) on every tool, and destructiveHint and idempotentHint on every tool not marked readOnlyHint:true (the spec says those two are meaningful only when readOnlyHint is false). Reported as inconsistent: readOnlyHint:true on a tool that looks like it executes, writes, deletes, sends or pays; destructiveHint:false on a tool that looks like it executes, deletes or overwrites; openWorldHint:false on a tool that reaches the network; a hint that is not a boolean; and, as low-severity noise, destructiveHint:true on a tool that only appears to read. Medium when a dangerous-class tool is mislabelled, low when annotations are merely missing. One finding lists every affected tool. Anthropic's directory policy (5E) and OpenAI's app review both require accurate annotations.
+**False positives.** The capability behind a contradiction is inferred from keywords in the tool's name, description and parameter names, so a narrowly scoped tool (for example 'delete_draft' that only removes the caller's own draft) may be misread. Missing annotations are a plain observation. Annotations are hints that clients must treat as untrusted; correcting them does not change what a tool can do.
+**Fix.** Give every tool a title and set readOnlyHint and openWorldHint explicitly; for tools that are not read-only also set destructiveHint and idempotentHint. Make each value true to the implementation: readOnlyHint:true only when nothing is modified, destructiveHint:true for anything that executes, deletes or overwrites, openWorldHint:true for tools that reach the internet or other external systems. Anthropic's Software Directory Policy (5E, https://support.claude.com/en/articles/13145358-anthropic-software-directory-policy) requires all applicable annotations, and OpenAI's app review (https://developers.openai.com/plugins/deploy/app-review.md) checks readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and openWorldHint for accuracy.

+| Evidence | The tools/list response; each role lists its tools and the wording that put them there. |
+Classifies every advertised tool into three roles from its capability class and wording: access to private data (files, databases, credentials, the user's mail), intake of untrusted content (fetching URLs, web search, reading mail or messages written by others) and a way to send data out (sending e-mail or messages, HTTP posts, webhooks, uploads). A tool advertising arbitrary command execution counts for all three; arbitrary file read counts as private data. When one server offers all three roles, text planted in the untrusted content can instruct the model to read the private data and send it away: the 'lethal trifecta' of prompt injection. Medium, high when the HTTP endpoint needs no authentication. One finding lists the tools in each role. No tool is called.
+**False positives.** Roles are inferred from names, descriptions and capability keywords, not from behaviour. A 'fetch' tool restricted to one internal API, or a 'send' tool that only notifies the signed-in user, is still counted. Conversely a fetch tool with a free-form URL can leak data through the URL itself; that path is not counted as a send role.
+**Fix.** Break the trifecta: split the tools across separate servers (or separate client configurations) so no single agent session combines private data, untrusted content and an outbound channel; or gate the send tool behind explicit per-call user confirmation and an allow-list of destinations; or constrain the intake tool to trusted sources. Keep the server authenticated so nobody else can drive the combination.

+## Run notes
+- mcpprobe 0.3.0, run 2026-10-30.
+- Hub dataset: could not load deepset/prompt-injections (ProxyError: 403 Forbidden).
+- No judge evaluated (pass --judge hf:<model> with the [hf] extra installed).
+## How to read this
+- A text is *flagged* by the heuristics when META-01 raises an indicator at medium severity or above (first row) or at any severity (second row). Low-severity indicators (a URL, a mention of another tool) are review prompts, not verdicts.
+- The mcpprobe corpus is the one the heuristics were tuned on, so its numbers are in-sample and optimistic. The held-out set was written for this benchmark and not used for tuning; it is the better estimate, but it is small (60 texts) and written by the same project, so one miss moves recall by five points and it is not an independent sample.
+- Hub prompt-injection datasets contain user prompts and jailbreaks, not tool descriptions, and include non-English text; META-01 is written for English tool metadata, so recall there is expected to be low and is a lower bound on domain transfer, not a measure of META-01 on MCP servers.
+- No competitor publishes comparable detection rates; treat these as a regression baseline.
+- The default Hub dataset is deepset/prompt-injections. Its licence was not verified when this script was written (the Hub page could not be fetched); it is recalled as Apache-2.0. Check the dataset card before relying on it.
