## 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 2026-10-22.

- **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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2830 tokens (~202/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 77/100
  - Stability observed for 23 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 97/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 89% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 14 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 15 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (14)

### `board_totals` (~192 tokens)

Live GSPC board totals

Live GSPC board totals from https://councilof.ai/api/gspc. Returns the slot count and the measured count as two labelled numbers WITH their kind — a slot is a declared position on the board, a measurement is a real run behind it; the two are never summed and never swapped — plus the board's separation line, and as_of dates for the board and for this fetch. Compact by default; pass detail "full" for the long-form count grammar, the per-family counts and the board's full measured_on block. We measure, never certify. If the board cannot be fetched the answer is a distinct UNREACHABLE state: no cached number is ever presented as live.

Input parameters:

- `detail` (string): summary (default): counts, public_count, the separation line, dates and source. full: also count_grammar, by_family and the board's measured_on block.

Output parameters:

- `as_of`
- `by_family`
- `count_grammar`
- `counts` (array)
- `detail` (string): summary or full
- `not_a_certification` (boolean)
- `public_count` (string|null)
- `separation`
- `source` (string)
- `state` (string): LIVE or UNREACHABLE

### `get_axis` (~173 tokens)

One GSPC board axis

One axis row from the live GSPC board at https://councilof.ai/api/gspc — every axis the board carries, behavioural and financial families alike, addressed by the axis id exactly as the board spells it: n, accuracy, interval, MEASURED or UNMEASURED status, family, kind, the bank or run-artifact URL behind the row, and dates. An unmeasured axis is a first-class answer — a declared slot with no run behind it, published so the gap is visible — never an error and never a zero. Never a certification.

Input parameters:

- `axis` (string, required): The axis name as it appears on the board, e.g. governance, safety, jail, provenance-controls. Case-insensitive. An unknown name returns the list of names the board actually carries.

Output parameters:

- `accuracy`
- `axis` (string|null)
- `board_carries` (array)
- `dataset`
- `family`
- `interval`
- `leader`
- `measured` (boolean)
- `n`
- `not_a_certification` (boolean)
- `resolved_from` (string): present when the caller named an alias (e.g. gov) that resolved to this board axis
- `source` (string)
- `state` (string): LIVE, NOT_ON_BOARD, BAD_INPUT or UNREACHABLE
- `status` (string|null)

### `verify_card` (~367 tokens)

Verify a signed measurement card (free)

Verify a signed gspc.measurement-card under the published rule (https://councilof.ai/signed/HOW-TO-VERIFY.md): recompute the id from the canonical body bytes, then check the Ed25519 signature under a key PINNED in this verifier and published in the did:web:csoai.org DID document: #card-attestation-1 (the card key of the signed card index) or #card-attestation-2 (the card key added on rotation, 27 Sep 2026; a card names the key it was signed under), plus the board key for the cards it signed. pinned_key in the result names the key that matched. A card that carries its own key proves only that the file is self-consistent — anyone can alter a body and sign it with a key they just generated — so an inline key outside the pinned set is reported INVALID, and a DID key reference outside it UNCHECKABLE. Three verdicts, never two: VALID, INVALID (with the reason), or UNCHECKABLE when the check could not be completed — 'could not check' is a different claim from 'forged'. Accepts the card as a JSON object, a JSON string, a councilof.ai / csoai.org URL, or a 64-hex card id (the record id shown on the site and the card field of list_cards), which resolves to https://councilof.ai/signed/cards/{id}.json. Never a certification.

Input parameters:

- `card` (required): The signed card: an object, a JSON string, a councilof.ai / csoai.org URL to one, or a 64-hex card id (resolved to https://councilof.ai/signed/cards/{id}.json).

Output parameters:

- `checks` (array)
- `family` (string|null)
- `id` (string|null)
- `not_a_certification` (boolean)
- `note` (string)
- `pinned_key` (string|null)
- `reason` (string|null)
- `reasons` (array)
- `resolved_from` (object): Present when a 64-hex card id was passed: the id asked about and the URL fetched for it.
- `rule` (string)
- `state` (string): VALID, INVALID or UNCHECKABLE

### `list_cards` (~187 tokens)

List signed card index rows

The published signed-card index (https://councilof.ai/signed/card_index.json): what the index declares (n_cards) and how many rows it actually carries, reported next to — never reconciled with — the count the card store endpoint (https://councilof.ai/api/cards) reports for itself. Two labelled numbers from two surfaces; if they disagree, this tool shows the disagreement rather than picking one. Optional filters return recent rows: axis, limit. Each row carries card_url, the signed body; pass it, or the row's 64-hex card id, to verify_card.

Input parameters:

- `axis` (string): Only list rows whose axis matches this name (case-insensitive).
- `limit` (integer): How many rows to include in the listing (newest first). Default 10. The two counts are always reported in full regardless of this limit.

Output parameters:

- `axis_query` (object)
- `card_store_count_endpoint` (object|null)
- `doctrine` (string)
- `index` (object|null)
- `not_a_certification` (boolean)
- `rows` (array|null)
- `state` (string): Read state of the signed card index on this call: LIVE (read now) or UNREACHABLE. Listing is not verification; verify_card checks a row.
- `state_basis` (string)

### `get_root` (~78 tokens)

Public Merkle root

GET the permissionless public-root at https://councilof.ai/root.json. Returns merkle_root, card_count, as_of, and UNMEASURED notes. Separate from GSPC. Three states: VALID (fetched), UNREACHABLE (could not fetch), UNCHECKABLE (body unreadable). Never a certificate.

Output parameters:

- `as_of`
- `card_count`
- `kind`
- `merkle_root` (string|null)
- `not_gspc` (boolean)
- `source` (string)
- `state` (string): VALID, UNREACHABLE or UNCHECKABLE

### `get_card` (~135 tokens)

One public-root card-v0 leaf

GET one public-root card-v0 leaf by sha256 (64 hex) from https://councilof.ai/cards/{sha16}.json. UNMEASURED cells stay visible. States: VALID (fetched); NOT_IN_THIS_CORPUS (the id is in the signed card index, not the public root, so use verify_card on it); INVALID (in neither the live root nor the signed card index); UNCHECKABLE (a source could not be read). Not a GSPC measurement-card.

Input parameters:

- `sha256` (string, required): 64-char hex payload SHA-256 of the card-v0 leaf.

Output parameters:

- `card_url` (string|null): With NOT_IN_THIS_CORPUS: the signed card body to pass to verify_card.
- `corpus` (string): With NOT_IN_THIS_CORPUS: the set the id belongs to (signed_card_index).
- `next` (object): With NOT_IN_THIS_CORPUS: the tool call that checks this id.
- `not_gspc` (boolean)
- `reason` (string)
- `sha256` (string)
- `sig_ed25519`
- `source` (string)
- `state` (string): VALID, NOT_IN_THIS_CORPUS, INVALID or UNCHECKABLE
- `surface`
- `unmeasured`

### `verify_inclusion` (~89 tokens)

Merkle inclusion check

Check a sha256 against the live public-root merkle via GET /api/proof?sha=. Three states only: VALID (included), INVALID (not a leaf), UNCHECKABLE (proof endpoint unreachable). Does not claim Ed25519 unless sig_ed25519 is present and checked separately. Never a grade.

Input parameters:

- `sha256` (string, required): 64-char hex digest to test for inclusion.

Output parameters:

- `merkle_root` (string|null)
- `reason`
- `sha256` (string)
- `state` (string): VALID, INVALID or UNCHECKABLE

### `x402_trust` (~64 tokens)

x402 catalog trust snapshot

GET the latest x402 catalog trust snapshot: counts of how many catalogued x402 resources open a correct 402 challenge vs how many are phantom on the wire. Counts only by doctrine — host details withheld; a 402 is NOT delivery; measurement, never certification.

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string|null)
- `counts` (object|null)
- `headline` (string|null)
- `kind`
- `source` (string)
- `state` (string): VALID or UNREACHABLE

### `mcp_trust` (~116 tokens)

MCP handshake census snapshot

GET the latest MCP handshake trust snapshot (https://councilof.ai/interop/mcp-trust/latest.json): counts of how many internet-facing MCP servers answer a correct initialize handshake, how many respond with an auth challenge, and how many are unreachable. Counts only by doctrine — host details withheld by design. A partial round or a cap change is disclosed in the snapshot. Measurement, never certification. Three states: VALID (fetched), UNREACHABLE (could not fetch), UNCHECKABLE (body unreadable).

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string|null)
- `counts` (object|null)
- `diff`
- `enumeration` (object|null)
- `headline` (string|null)
- `kind`
- `partial` (boolean): true whenever the enumeration did not complete — a cap-limited read is partial
- `partial_reason` (string|null)
- `source` (string)
- `state` (string): VALID or UNREACHABLE

### `measurement_index` (~161 tokens)

Measurement-capsule index

Read the latest signed measurement-capsule index published at https://councilof.ai/measurement-capsules/latest.json: the index root over every capsule, each batch (adapter, kind, capsule count, measurement states, batch Merkle root, record sha256, record signature and OpenTimestamps state), the index's own board signature re-verified here against the pinned did:web:csoai.org#board-attestation-1 key, and the anchor states published beside it (OpenTimestamps, Rekor, XRPL) — PENDING is never called attested. States only: measurement, not endorsement; no verdict, score or ranking. NOT_PUBLISHED when no index is served; UNREACHABLE when the source could not be fetched.

Output parameters:

- `anchors` (object)
- `batches` (array)
- `doctrine` (string)
- `index_root` (string|null)
- `n_batches` (integer)
- `n_capsules_total` (integer|null)
- `reason` (string)
- `signature` (object)
- `state` (string)
- `version` (string)

### `verify_capsule` (~228 tokens)

Verify one measurement capsule

Verify one measurement capsule. Pass capsule_json as the capsule's JSON TEXT (exact: number lexemes are kept) or as an object. Recomputes capsule_id (sha256 of the canonical JSON without capsule_id), picks the rule by the capsule's schema (csoai.measurement-capsule/0.2: RFC 6962 Merkle with 0x00/0x01 domain separation; the superseded v0.1 capsule schema: the v0.1 rule), finds the published batch of the same kind, recomputes that batch's root from its published leaves, and returns the audit path of this capsule against the root named by the signed index. States: INCLUDED, NOT_INCLUDED, ID_MISMATCH, UNCHECKABLE, NOT_PUBLISHED. Verifying is free forever. It proves the bytes were published and bound; what they measured is the capsule's own measurement_state and limitations — measurement, not endorsement.

Input parameters:

- `capsule_json` (string|object, required): The capsule: its JSON text (preferred, byte-exact) or the parsed object.

Output parameters:

- `batch` (object)
- `capsule_id` (object)
- `doctrine` (string)
- `inclusion` (object)
- `index_signature` (object)
- `reason` (string)
- `state` (string)

### `server_evidence` (~191 tokens)

Every published capsule about one endpoint

Trust per server, not totals: every published measurement capsule about ONE endpoint URL across all batches — MCP contract-parity dimensions (AUTH, PAYMENT, PROTOCOL, TOOLS, VERSION), A2A card-signature state, self-parity cells for CSOAI's own doors, and any later adapter (e.g. tool drift) — each with its measurement_state, observed_at, correction_pointer, limitations, batch Merkle root and an inclusion pointer for independent verification. Read from a static per-endpoint shard keyed by sha256 of the normalised URL. An endpoint with no capsule answers NOT_MEASURED with an empty list — never an error and never a clean bill. No verdict, score or ranking: measurement, not endorsement.

Input parameters:

- `endpoint_url` (string, required): Public HTTP(S) endpoint URL whose already-published measurement capsules should be read, e.g. https://example.com/mcp.

Output parameters:

- `capsules` (array)
- `doctrine` (string)
- `endpoint` (string|null)
- `n_capsules` (integer)
- `reason` (string)
- `state` (string)

### `evidence_bundle_preview` (~248 tokens)

Signed cards relevant to one obligation (free)

For ONE obligation (article-50, article-53 GPAI transparency, dora or cra) and an optional subject: the obligation record, its counsel-gate status and the already-signed measurement cards that are relevant to it (count plus the first cards, each with its verify link), read live from https://councilof.ai/api/evidence-bundle. Relevant-to is never a determination: no answer says satisfied or not satisfied, and zero relevant cards is answered EMPTY, never as an error and never as a clean bill. Article 53 output is evidence for review, not a legal determination. Evidence for obligation work — not a conformity assessment, certification, audit opinion or compliance determination; grants no status. Measurement, not certification. Verification of any card is free at https://councilof.ai/gspc-verify.

Input parameters:

- `obligation` (string, required): article-50 (AI-generated content marking), article-53 (GPAI provider documentation), dora (ICT third-party oversight) or cra (Cyber Resilience Act).
- `subject` (string): Optional: a model id, vendor or instrument the cards must name. Omit for the obligation-wide selection.

Output parameters:

- `cards` (array)
- `corpus`
- `counsel_confirmed` (boolean)
- `determination` (string)
- `not_a_certification` (boolean)
- `obligation` (object)
- `reason` (string)
- `relation` (string)
- `relevant_signed_cards` (integer)
- `review_note` (string)
- `source` (string)
- `state` (string)
- `subject` (string|null)

### `route` (~496 tokens)

GSPC Route: decide a path under your policy (free, decide-only)

GSPC Route (free, decide-only). Applies YOUR policy and the fixed GSPC floor to a candidate set and returns the chosen candidate, the basis of the choice and an unsigned route record (csoai.evidence-event/0.1, profile csoai.route-evidence/0.1). Candidates are the GSPC MCP tools by default, or ones you declare: your models, your local GPU, MCP tools, A2A agents, x402 resources. Policy is Cedar: presets read-only, local-only, eu-only, no-unmeasured, plus forbid_providers and allow_kinds; anything the router does not understand grants nothing. For the quality axis you name it reads the live board (https://councilof.ai/api/gspc). With no candidates declared, the GSPC tool whose purpose matches the task is chosen (basis task_match); when no tool's purpose matches, the answer is UNTESTED and nothing is chosen, never a pick by name. For candidates you declare, routing is not ranking: a choice is called a separated leader only when the board separated that comparison; otherwise it is TIE or UNTESTED and your tie_break decides. A candidate the board holds no number for is UNTESTED, never 0. Sponsor, bid and placement fields are ignored. The task text is hashed, never stored. Nothing is executed, called or charged; mode execute answers NOT_ENABLED. Measurement, not certification.

Input parameters:

- `candidates` (array): Omit to route among the GSPC MCP tools. A candidate field the router does not know makes that candidate UNCHECKABLE (never permitted); sponsor/bid/placement fields are ignored.
- `data_class` (string): Default public. A non-public class is routed only to candidates that declare it in data_class_allowed.
- `mode` (string): decide (default). execute is not enabled and answers NOT_ENABLED.
- `needs_write` (boolean)
- `objective` (object)
- `policy` (object): presets [read-only, local-only, eu-only, no-unmeasured], forbid_providers [..], allow_kinds [..], confirm_destructive, caller_wallet. Unknown keys grant nothing.
- `task` (string): The task. Hashed (sha256) and never stored or echoed.
- `task_sha256` (string): Alternative to task: its sha256.

Output parameters:

- `chosen` (object|null)
- `considered` (integer)
- `errors` (array)
- `forbidden` (array)
- `http_status` (integer)
- `label` (string|null)
- `mode` (string)
- `note` (string)
- `permitted` (integer)
- `preview` (boolean)
- `record` (object)
- `separation` (string)
- `signed` (boolean)
- `state` (string)
