How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 281 tokens (~281/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
search_painting_lessons ~281
Search the mypaintingclub.com painting-lesson knowledge base. The knowledge base is built from transcribed Vimeo lessons covering topics such as colour mixing, brushwork, composition, value, edges, and painting techniques for oils and acrylics. Given a natural-language question, the tool returns up to `top_k` relevant answers drawn from real lesson content. Each result includes: - `answer`: the lesson's explanation for that question - `lesson_title`: the name of the lesson - `sales_page_url`: the mypaintingclub.com page where members can watch - `start_time_seconds` / `end_time_seconds`: the exact clip in the video - `vimeo_deep_link`: a direct URL to that moment (e.g. https://vimeo.com/123456789#t=312s) - `score`: cosine distance (lower = more relevant; 0 = identical) Use this tool whenever a member or agent asks a painting technique question that might be answered by a specific lesson.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| question | string | yes | Natural-language painting technique question to search for. Examples: 'how do I paint soft edges in oils', 'colour mixing for shadows', 'how to simplify a busy background'. |
| top_k | integer | – | Maximum number of results to return (1–20). Default 5. |
