Mock servers replace real ones by name, allow mocked tools and deny the rest; a mock_calls grader is added.
What's wrong with this entry?
The stand-in servers take the place of the plugin's own MCP servers under the same name, auto-allow the tools that have mock files, and deny every other tool on that server. A new grader target, mock_calls, grades what the plugin asked the server to do rather than what it said.
- A case can carry its own
mocks/directory, andmocks/becomes a reserved name inside eval directories. - Frontmatter supports
expect:input assertions that abort the run on violation, anderror: trueto return a tool error. - Each run's JSON gains a
mocksblock with per-server responder kinds, a call tally of total/errors/unmocked, and warnings, plus anabortedrecord. - Failures are reported through telemetry key
cli_plugin_eval_mockswith outcomes standin_registration, standin_identity, standin_tools_missing, standin_integrity and aborted_by_mock. claude plugin evalis itself early access, enabled per organisation or by an env var, and prints that it is unavailable otherwise.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
