Reliability & compatibility
Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

merkle-tree-auditor
Domain auditor for Merkle tree construction and proof verification logic.
When to Use
- Reviewing Merkle inclusion/exclusion proof verification code
- Auditing leaf/internal hashing separation and root construction
- Checking sparse Merkle defaults and update semantics
- Reviewing multi-proof batching and path validation logic
When NOT to Use
- Hash primitive parameter tuning without Merkle tree usage context
- Commitment opening systems not based on Merkle authentication paths
- Marking suspected Merkle issues as confirmed without verification gates
Core Review Areas
- Second-preimage resistance through strict node typing
- Leaf-node domain separation and canonical encoding
- Sparse tree default values and edge-case handling
- Proof length/path validation and index binding
- Root update safety and state transition checks
Workflow
Phase 1: Tree model and encoding inventory
- Read
references/merkle-checklist.md - Identify leaf format, node format, and hash domain tags
- Map index-bit ordering and path-direction handling
Phase 2: Proof verification review
- Execute
workflows/proof-review.md - Verify path length/depth checks, left-right ordering, and root comparison
- Check sparse defaults and empty-path handling are fail-closed
Phase 3: Pattern hunt
- Read
references/finding-patterns.md - Prioritize domain-separation gaps, empty-path acceptance, and unbound multiproof reuse
Phase 4: Handoff
- Send surviving findings to
crypto-fp-check - Use
zkbugs-indexonly after verification succeeds
Output Contract
Produce a Merkle-audit handoff that includes:
- The tree variant and proof path under review
- The exact node-typing, path-validation, or root-binding gap
- Whether the issue affects soundness, replay/update integrity, or completeness
- The next verification or reporting route
