Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Truecopy askalf Security	Sparda zyx77550 Security
Summary	Supply-chain gate for agent skills and MCP servers — scans tool definitions for poisoned instructions, pins vetted servers by content hash in a committed lock, and verifies drift in CI; the bundled truecopy-mcp proxy exposes only pinned, unmodified tools from a live server.	Injects a live, reversible MCP server into a running Express / FastAPI / Next.js app — reads safe by default, writes gated behind human confirmation. The same engine also proves deploys and PRs (apocalypse / review).
