## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 1 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-19 (score 67, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-18 (score 66, 0)

## MCP tools (1)

### `search_painting_lessons` (~281 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `question` (string, required): 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.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)
