Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 0 of 32 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability56
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 556 tokens (~556/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 Management83
  • Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools · 1 exposed · ~556 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
evaluate_fca_handbook_applicability ~556

Evaluate which FCA Handbook entries apply to an entity, via the Metis FCA Handbook AI Harness. Calls a live compliance reasoning run, billed to the configured account. Use for questions about FCA authorisation, permissions, or obligations for a specific firm/product/service. Reports progress as it runs — show these to the user if your host displays them, they contain genuinely useful detail about what is happening (e.g. which stage of reasoning is underway), not filler. Before calling: check whether you already have (from this conversation, documents you were given, or other tools) grounded answers to these six things — the specific compliance question, the product/service, who's providing it (platform/adviser/bank/etc.), its key features, the target market (retail/institutional/professional), and what data it handles. If you are missing more than one or two, ask the user for them first rather than calling with thin input. Every call is billed to the account at a flat rate regardless of input quality, so a vague call followed by a refinement round costs twice what one good call would have. The result includes refinement_suggestions — gaps the Harness couldn't resolve from user_input alone, typically subtler than the six basics above (e.g. a regulatory edge case, not a missing fact you could have just asked for). If you already have grounded information addressing one (from this conversation, documents you were given, or other tools you've called), fold it into a new user_input and call again yourself, rather than just relaying the suggestion to the user as a question. Do not speculate or infer plausible-sounding detail you do not actually have to fill a gap — that reintroduces the hallucination risk this Harness exists to avoid, one level up. Only ask the user for whatever's left that you genuinely do not know. Args: user_input: Everything together as one piece of text (up to 5000 characters) — the specific compliance question, the product/s…
