Is @yawlabs/ctxlint safe?
Linter for AI agent context files and MCP configs: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, .mcp.json - catches broken paths, wrong commands, leaked secrets
This server can run commands on your computer. An agent that is tricked could use it to do almost anything you can.
Why: can run shell commands on your computer.
What it can do
- Runs shell commands
How to use it safely
- ✓ Run it in a container or VM, and keep "approve each tool call" turned on.
- ✓ Pin the version (below) so an update can't change what it does without you noticing.
Code patterns worth reviewing
Automated pattern matches in the published package. Some are expected for this kind of server, and some may be false positives — they are pointers for review, not confirmed vulnerabilities.
Command injection risk
The agent appears to pass input into a shell or command execution path.

Agent Verify reads the package published on npm as text — it is never installed or run. Ratings describe capability, not intent, and are an automated, evidence-based check, not a guarantee. Scanner 2.0.0.
