Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

NameDescription
TAR_ENGINE_URL
Optional
Override the audit backend. Default is the hosted playground at https://tarai.dev. Set to http://localhost:8765 (or your own tar-engine deployment) to self-host and keep SKILL.md content on your machine.
TAR_ENGINE_BYOK_OPENAI_KEY
Optional, secret
Your OpenAI-compatible API key. Unlocks the semantic and adversarial layers, and model step labels in map_skill_risks. Static and supply-chain layers run without it.
