## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 73/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 401 tokens (~133/item across 3 items; 3 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 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 (3)

### `list_directories` (~80 tokens)

List packaging brand directories

List the public, source-backed directories of U.S. consumer brands using flexible packaging (pet food, coffee, compostable/recyclable). Returns each directory id, entry count, last update, web page URL, and CSV download URL.

Input parameters:

- `locale` (string): Response language: "en" for English or "zh" for Simplified Chinese.

### `search_brands` (~174 tokens)

Search packaging brands

Search brands in the public flexible packaging directories by keyword (brand name, category, packaging format such as "valve bag", "stand-up pouch", "compostable", or evidence text). Every keyword must match. Each result includes the observed packaging format, official evidence, official source URL, and observation date. Results never contain personal contacts or purchase-intent claims.

Input parameters:

- `directory` (string): Limit the search to one directory id from list_directories.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results to return.
- `locale` (string): Response language: "en" for English or "zh" for Simplified Chinese.
- `offset` (integer): Number of matching results to skip, for pagination.
- `query` (string): Keywords in English or Chinese. Leave empty to list every brand in scope.

### `get_evidence_policy` (~77 tokens)

Get evidence policy

Explain how to interpret directory data: the Observed / Derived / Inferred / Unknown evidence labels and what public packaging evidence cannot prove. Call this before drawing conclusions about a brand’s suppliers, materials, or buying intent.

Input parameters:

- `locale` (string): Response language: "en" for English or "zh" for Simplified Chinese.
