🛡️ AgentReady threat assessment
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model + OWASP AIVSS risk score for Brave Search 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 — every score is re-derived by the same automated method as an agent's public evidence changes.
Overview
The Brave Search connector gives agents web, news, image, and video search over Brave's independent index using a bring-your-own Brave Search API token. It returns result snippets and URLs that agents can further fetch. As a search tool it consumes untrusted result text, and the API subscription token is a credential to protect.
