mcp-server-elasticsearchmcp-server-elasticsearch.exenodeAbout this registry. A curated reference of GenAI tools and their observable process telemetry, config locations, and integrations. Process names and metadata are sourced from empirical testing across macOS, Linux, and Windows where noted. Tools marked Unverified have not yet been empirically tested and their data is based on vendor documentation or public research. For related security research notes, see the GenAI Security Research page.
Reference score. Each tool is scored across weighted dimensions: process telemetry, macOS code-signing, config paths, attribution signals, network artifacts, context files, data quality, and reference documentation. Non-applicable dimensions (e.g., macOS signing for a Python CLI) are excluded from the maximum score rather than receiving free points. Grades range from A+ (≥95%) to D (<60%). Public ecosystem entries are informational only and do not change the score.
