mcp-memory — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited mcp-memory (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A local-first memory server for coding agents: durable, queryable, cross-session memory with no cloud dependency. Embeddings, vector index, full-text index, and a knowledge graph all run in-process against one SQLite file. 50 MCP tools; 10 also exposed over a bearer-authed REST API + a dashboard. The DB is a rebuildable cache — the source of truth can be a git-shared Obsidian vault of plain .md files ("Bruno model").
references/tool-catalog.md + references/workflows.md.references/architecture.md + references/developing.md.The everyday loop is two tools:
memory_store { title: "<short label>", content: "<one discrete fact/decision/pattern/fix>", document_type: "decision", tags: [...] }
memory_search { query: "<what you want back, in meaning not keywords>" }Five things to internalize before driving:
memory_store. Large document → memory_ingest (auto-chunks). Running session log → memory_session_note. Structured note → memory_template then store. Pass a `title` — it's optional and defaults to null, so an omitted title leaves every search hit titleless (a column of blanks on your first corpus).memory_search. Token-budgeted context for a question → memory_query (returns the relevant memory CONTENTS rendered into a block with ## <id> headers + hop annotations — NOT a synthesized sentence; on a corpus with no graph links yet it's a flat list of seed memories). Exact filter → memory_query_structured (top-level memories only — ingested child chunks are excluded). Discover what exists → memory_manifest.global, namespace=null). An unscoped `memory_search` hides `scope='user'` memories — the #1 reason a memory "isn't found". Re-search with explicit scope:'user'.memory_search over MCP defaults rerank:true (best precision, +~90ms Apple Silicon / ~200ms slower CPUs). REST /api/search *and a direct `handleSearch` call (what the `sim-.mjs templates do)** leave it OFF (faster, lower precision) — pass rerank:true there to match real MCP precision, or rerank:false` over MCP to trade precision for speed.memory_delete is a hard delete. For anything recoverable or governed, use memory_forget (soft tombstone, or hard-with-export-first).Full per-tool when-to-use + params: `references/tool-catalog.md`.

Keep this skill's facts in sync with the server when behavior changes — the count is 50 tools.
Security: never echo, log, or commit a bearer token or homelab credential. REST/ops examples use the $MCP_AUTH_TOKEN placeholder — keep it that way.~30 seconds. Free. No account. Every finding cites a rule and a line of evidence.
