BD mcp-dependency-review
Statically review MCP configuration for mutable package references before approval or CI, without executing discovered MCP servers. Use when reviewing .mcp.json, Cursor, VS Code, Claude, Windsurf, or other repo-scoped MCP config.
The skill parses MCP configs and catches mutable package references—those that update without explicit version pinning. It checks `.mcp.json` and IDE configs before the agent runs discovered servers.
Found 2 files with 2484 tokens of code. No critical or high-severity findings. Quality score 85, process score 43 (likely due to lack of automation). No lint errors, references intact.
In practice: the agent will verify that MCP server setup won't pull an unexpected package version instead of the pinned one. Useful for those who lock dependencies tight and fear CI surprises. Worth installing if you work with MCP and want version control enforced.

How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 43/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 17 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2484 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
