## 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 2026-11-04.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 847 tokens (~141/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_products` (~124 tokens)

Search products

Searches the Verateca register of dietary supplements by product name, brand, ingredient or barcode. Returns up to 10 published products with id, brand, form, page address, lowest price per day where prices are published, number of offers and the date the record was checked. Results are ordered by match, never by payment.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): The United States is the only market currently available.
- `limit` (integer): Number of results, 1–10.
- `query` (string, required): Product name, brand, ingredient or barcode (UPC/EAN).

### `get_product` (~161 tokens)

Get product

Returns one published product record: source-recorded composition with printed-disclosure verification status, daily amounts, a cohesive comparison with effective denominator, age policy, scope and percentage, and separate reference limits of other countries, the status in the country, prices per day where published, and the dates of each part.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): The United States is the only market currently available.
- `id` (string): Verateca product id, e.g. "US:302778", as returned by search_products.
- `period_days` (integer): Optional days of consumption, calculated from verified pack and daily-use basis. This is not a whole-pack checkout price.
- `url` (string): Verateca product page address, as an alternative to id.

### `get_ingredient` (~121 tokens)

Get ingredient

Returns one substance of the register: its forms with the share of the element where known, the upper limit of the country first, then the limits of other countries with type, source and the date checked, reference sources, and the number of published products that contain it.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): The United States is the only market currently available.
- `id` (string): Substance id, e.g. "magnesium", "vit_d".
- `name` (string): Substance name, e.g. "Vitamin D", as an alternative to id.

### `check_stack` (~139 tokens)

Check a set of supplements

Adds up each ingredient across several products taken together (up to 12) and compares each daily total with the adult upper limit of the country, with the same rules engine as the Verateca site. For every ingredient: total per day, applicable limit, share of the limit, status ("within the upper limit", "over the upper limit", "no upper limit set" or "not compared"), the products that contribute, and duplicates across products. Limits of other countries follow. Interactions with medicines are not checked.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): The United States is the only market currently available.
- `items` (array, required): Products taken together.

### `compare_products` (~135 tokens)

Compare products

Puts 2 to 6 published products side by side: daily dose, rounded daily price plus verified exact pack basis where available, and for each ingredient the daily amount, effective comparison denominator and percentage. Canonical reference maxima can differ from the effective denominator when age is unknown.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): The United States is the only market currently available.
- `ids` (array, required): Product ids, e.g. ["US:302778", "US:217710"].
- `period_days` (integer): Optional days of consumption, calculated from verified pack and daily-use basis. This is not a whole-pack checkout price.

### `get_selection_link` (~167 tokens)

Get the order page address

Returns the address of the Verateca order page for one of its three paid services (quick, full, review), with the price and currency the site shows for the country and a one-line description. The tool takes no payment and creates no order; the order page asks its own questions and takes payment there.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): The United States is the only market currently available.
- `goals` (array): Optional goals to preselect on the order page (quick: 1, full: up to 3; ignored for review). They travel sealed, not in plain words.
- `service` (string, required): quick: up to three products for one goal; full: one set for up to three goals; review: a written review by a Verateca specialist.
