Worth knowing before you connect it
- 111 tools are described as changing something (video_trim, video_merge, video_add_text, …): our AI model's reading of the descriptions, not something we tested. We did not call them.

What it is
What does this server offer?
Observed inventoryWhat it mainly works on, as our AI model read its tool descriptions: files and code on the machine it runs on.
111 of 203 tools are described as changing something (creating, editing, deleting, sending or running). For 58 the reading was uncertain, so no mark is shown.

Each quoted sentence is the first sentence of the publisher’s own description. The kind of tool and the “changes data” mark are our AI model’s reading of that description, not something we tested: two differently worded runs had to agree, otherwise no label is shown, and nobody has checked them by hand. A tool without the “changes data” mark is described as only reading, searching or calculating, or the two runs did not agree. No tool was called. Read the publisher’s full description before relying on it. “Publisher declares” lists the hints the server itself sends with the tool (MCP annotations: read-only, destructive, idempotent, open-world); they are the publisher's claims, not checked by us. Inputs are the parameters in the tool's own input schema: name, declared type, whether it is required, and the first sentence of its description. The first 100 of 203 tools are listed. Read 2026-10-23.
How well are its tools described?
Features #4 and #5
How clearly this server's own tool descriptions say what a tool does, and how consistent its tool list is. The first part is an AI model's yes/no reading of each description; the second part is counted. We do not turn it into a grade.
Descriptions

- Size of the list
- about 47,280 tokens for an agent to load (characters ÷ 4)

AI reading: easy to mix up
No pair found.
The AI items cover 160 of 203 tools: for a tool where two differently worded runs disagreed, that item is left out. They were not checked by hand, and no tool was called. “Easy to mix up” means two tools whose names or descriptions overlap without saying how they differ; the AI found none, comparing tools within groups of 40. We do not rate whether the tool set is complete or whether side effects are spelled out, because our AI reading of those was not reliable enough.

Does the registry listing match what we found?
Feature #6The registry verifies a package once, when it is published, and does not re-check it. A difference below is about the listing, not a judgement of the publisher.
| Registry says | We found | Result | Source · date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Published package can be started | Started and answered | matches | our test · 2026-10-23 |
| Version 1.16.2 on PyPI | Exists and can be installed | matches | PyPI · 2026-10-23 |
| Repository github.com/KyaniteLabs/kinocut | Opens publicly | matches | api.github.com · 2026-10-23 |

Same tools as other registry entries
Tool lists read · names comparedIts 203 tools have exactly the same names as the tools of 2 other registry entries (published under 2 registry namespaces). Their tool descriptions differ in places.
This can be one publisher's family of servers or one template reused under many names. It is a fact about the published tool lists, not a judgement of the publisher and not a safety finding; we compared tool names, not code.

Read from public records only: the registry entry, npm/PyPI, GitHub and advisory databases, checked 2026-10-23. No tool was called. Only “met” and “not met” are counted, so the total differs between servers; a check that does not apply or that we could not run is listed, never counted against it. It is not a safety rating.

Common questions about tech.kyanitelabs/kinocut
Answered from the data aboveIs tech.kyanitelabs/kinocut safe to install?
We do not rate servers as safe or unsafe. 8 of its 8 applicable record checks are met (facts from public records, each listed on this page). What the records show: Its source repository opens publicly. Its repository had a push in the last 90 days. The listed version is the latest stable release. The package itself has no known vulnerability (OSV.dev). Its full dependency tree has no known advisory. 111 of its tools describe changing data (our AI model's reading of the descriptions). These are facts with their sources on this page, not a safety guarantee, and we did not run its tools.
Has tech.kyanitelabs/kinocut been security tested?
Partly. 3 of the 12 checks that apply to it were exercised. We started the package in an isolated sandbox and read what it declares, but this test round was read-only, so its tools were not called. No security verdict is published before verification.
What can tech.kyanitelabs/kinocut do?
It lists 203 tools. In our AI model's reading of their descriptions (two runs had to agree, nobody checked it by hand), they include tools that read or search, create or change data, delete, run code or commands, generate content and calculate or convert. We did not call any tool, so this describes the text, not the behaviour.
Can tech.kyanitelabs/kinocut change or delete data?
111 of its tools say in their description that they create, edit, delete, send or run something (our AI model's reading). We did not call any tool, so we cannot say what actually happens.
Does tech.kyanitelabs/kinocut publish a security policy?
Yes: its repository has a public security policy (github.com/kyanitelabs/kinocut/blob/HEAD/SECURITY.md). That is the publisher's statement, not permission for us to test the server, and we call none of its tools.
Is the listed version current?
Yes. The registry lists 1.16.2, the latest stable release on PyPI.
Where is the source code of tech.kyanitelabs/kinocut?
In github.com/KyaniteLabs/kinocut, which opens publicly.

Active servers whose topic is also “media-and-design” and that have at least one tool of the same kind; most kinds in common first, then most GitHub stars. The topic and the tool kinds are an AI model's reading of the publishers' descriptions, not checked by hand. Similar is not a recommendation.

How is it classified?
18 fields
One value per field, each with its source. Fields written by AI models are marked. A field with no value says why.
“Not stated” means the source did not state it; “does not apply” means it does not apply to this kind of server; “our limit” means our own lookup failed. A linked value opens the directory filtered to the same value.
