MCP Security Scanner achieves 100% detection with zero false positives in benchmark

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A security scanner for MCP (likely referring to a specific tool or framework) has been benchmarked using a hand-labeled suite of synthetic manifests. The scanner successfully identified all 14 planted findings across various risk profiles, including clean, risky, mixed, payments-focused, and leaky agent scenarios, with zero false positives. The benchmark was conducted 1000 times per fixture using Python 3.13, achieving a median scan time of 82 microseconds per manifest, though the author notes this tests the rule engine on synthetic data rather than real-world servers.
