🛡️ AgentReady threat assessment
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model + OWASP AIVSS risk score for XcodeBuild MCP, derived from its capabilities.
These scores are auto-generated from public information (the agent's own listing, docs, and repository) using the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula and the MAESTRO framework — an estimate for guidance, not a penetration test, audit, or certification. See the scoring methodology. Are you the vendor? Factual corrections are free.
Overview
XcodeBuildMCP exposes Xcode build, run, and debug workflows to agents — project discovery, simulator management, app deployment, and UI-automation testing. It shells out to xcodebuild and simctl on the developer's machine. It executes build tooling and can run app code, so it inherits the local environment's privileges and any injected build steps.
