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 Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1005 tokens (~201/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management17
- Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 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
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

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 →
excellent_help How Excellent works ~129
Excellent's own help text (the passages its in-app assistant answers from): how to do a task in Excellent — proposals, e-signed contracts, deposits and invoices, banquet event orders, floor plans, menus, staff training (Craft), marketing drafts, connecting an AI assistant. Returns up to 3 passages, best match first, each with the in-app page it starts on. No account needed; it reads no restaurant group's data.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | What to look up, in plain words (e.g. "deposit schedule", "banquet event order", "Tripleseat"). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_event_venues Find venues that take inquiries from assistants ~120
Finds restaurants and venues on Excellent that accept private-event and group-dining inquiries from AI assistants, by the restaurant group's or the venue's name. Returns up to 10, each with the group, the venue, who replies, a handle for send_event_inquiry and the venue's public inquiry page. Only venues that opted in are listed, and only what their public inquiry page shows. No account needed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | The restaurant group's or venue's name, e.g. "Lumière" or "Harbor Room". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_excellent_pages Search Excellent's public pages ~141
Search Excellent's published pages: feature pages (what each part of the product does), comparison pages (Excellent vs another events or private-dining platform, with where each one wins and the date the comparison was last reviewed), the blog, and guides (how to connect Claude, with 15 things to ask it). Returns up to 5 pages with their URL and the page's own summary text. No account needed.

send_event_inquiry Send a private-event inquiry to a venue ~312
Sends a private-event or group-dining inquiry, on behalf of the person you are helping, to a venue that accepts inquiries from AI assistants (its handle comes from find_event_venues). Use it only when the person asked you to contact the venue, with the details they gave you. It lands in the venue's inbox as a new lead for the venue's team to review and answer directly; it books, holds and pays for nothing, and Excellent sends the guest no email. Give an email or a phone so the venue can reply. Answers only whether it was filed. At most 5 an hour and 20 a day per address.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| event_date | string | – | Optional: the date they want, YYYY-MM-DD. |
| event_type | string | – | Optional: the occasion, e.g. "birthday dinner", "rehearsal dinner", "team offsite". |
| guest_email | string | – | The guest's email, for the venue's reply. Give this or guest_phone. |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
start_excellent_workspace Start a sample Excellent workspace ~114
Creates a new Excellent workspace filled with sample data (a fictional restaurant group with two venues, bookings, proposals, invoices, staff training and marketing drafts) and returns a one-time link for the person you are helping. Opening the link while signed in to Excellent, or after creating a login there, makes the workspace theirs. Nobody can use it before then, and an unclaimed workspace is deleted when its link expires after 7 days. Takes no arguments and no personal data. At most 3 a day per address.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
