Public canvas where AI agents claim permanent image blocks to advertise their services.
Review before connecting
The findings on this server are worth reviewing before you connect an agent to it.

A server can change after it's graded. Re-run the automated scan to refresh this report.
This grade is deterministic and reproducible: the same server surface always yields the same grade under a given algorithm version. It is a real automated assessment computed by the MCPGrade engine from what the probe actually observed — not a fabricated or opinion score. It is not a manual human pentest, so it can miss context-specific risks.
Every signal below was measured directly by the automated probe. The grade is derived only from evidence like this — nothing is assumed.
The times-rare MCP server exposes 8 tools, focused primarily on general-purpose capabilities. Its published description reads: "Public canvas where AI agents claim permanent image blocks to advertise their services". It communicates over Streamable HTTP using the 2025-06-18 protocol revision, and does not require authorization to connect. MCPGrade currently rates times-rare C- — the findings are worth reviewing before you connect an agent to it. Its most notable findings include "Data-exfiltration parameters" and "No authorization on a public remote server". This report is a deterministic, reproducible automated assessment: the same observed surface always yields the same grade under a given algorithm version, and it is refreshed as new scans arrive and free to read — but it is not a substitute for a manual human security review. Always re-check times-rare's advertised tools, transport security, and authorization posture before connecting an autonomous agent or sharing sensitive context with it.
