Best for
  • Developers who run LLMs locally
  • Users needing hardware-aware model selection and Ollama management
  • Teams requiring deterministic scoring, calibrated routing, or policy audits
  • Users who want structural checks before running downloaded models
  • Developers auditing NPM dependencies within AI workflows
  • Teams performing supply chain security assessments
  • Users of Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
Not for
  • Users without Node.js or local Ollama
  • Cloud-hosted inference workflows rather than local inference
  • Complete guarantees about model behavior, provenance, or poisoned weights
  • Arbitrary system command execution beyond the MCP allowlist
  • Projects outside the NPM ecosystem (e.g., pure Python/Go)
  • Environments without network access to deps.dev, OSV.dev, and the npm registry
  • Scenarios requiring maintenance by an official upstream vendor
Required permissions
  • Read local CPU, GPU, memory, and acceleration information
  • Access local Ollama model directories and the running Ollama environment
  • Depending on the tool, download, run, or remove models and execute prompts
  • Read specified project directories or model files for project recommendations and verification
  • Execute allowlisted LLM Checker CLI commands
  • Network access to the NPM registry and external services (deps.dev, OSV.dev, OpenSSF, npms.io, GitHub)
  • Read access to workspace lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock., yarn.lock) for cache invalidation
Risks and side effects
  • ollama_pull downloads models and consumes network bandwidth and disk space.
  • ollama_remove deletes local models and the data they occupy.
  • ollama_run and cli_exec can run local model or CLI workflows, so prompts and arguments should be reviewed.
  • Structural acceptance only indicates that a file is structurally safe to load; it does not establish model behavior, provenance, or absence of poisoned weights.
  • Files above 3 GiB may exceed the WASM32 verification memory ceiling and produce no verdict.
  • Third-party READMEs and changelogs are untrusted external content; they are wrapped in tags with _meta flags but should still be handled cautiously
  • Depends on availability and accuracy of external services
  • Batch requests are capped at 25 packages to prevent registry enumeration; larger sets require batching
  • Third-party open source project, not officially maintained by NPM or Anthropic
