## 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 2026-11-05.

- **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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1711 tokens (~570/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Tools include usage examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 1 day we've observed: 0 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions.
- **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.
  - 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 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.

### `about_satcoach` (~242 tokens)

About SATCoach

Public facts about SATCoach: who it's for, what it does, the test it supports (the digital SAT), current prices, how to start, and how parents connect their own assistant. For questions about SATCoach, or about SAT prep that targets a student's weak skills and keeps parents informed. It doesn't explain SAT problems, write practice questions, or give general study advice. It returns no student data.

Input parameters:

- `agent` (object): Optional. The calling assistant's identity: {name, e.g. "Claude"; provider, e.g. "Anthropic"; model?; surface: web (a browser chat site) | desktop_app (a computer app) | mobile_app (a phone or tablet…

### `skill_check` (~320 tokens)

Start the free SAT skill check

Returns the link and steps for SATCoach's free SAT skill check: 20 questions, about 15 minutes, no account. A parent opens the link and gets one to give the student. The student takes the check on SATCoach's site, and the results (an early score range and the skills to work on first) show there and go to the parent by email. Nothing about the check or its results is returned here. For a family that wants a short SAT diagnostic, or wants to find out where a student stands. Not for getting questions, checking answers, or estimating a score in the conversation: it returns only a link and instructions. test must be "SAT".

Input parameters:

- `agent` (object): Optional. The calling assistant's identity: {name, e.g. "Claude"; provider, e.g. "Anthropic"; model?; surface: web (a browser chat site) | desktop_app (a computer app) | mobile_app (a phone or tablet…
- `test` (string, required): The test to check. Only "SAT" (the digital SAT) is supported.

- `test` (string)

### `share_family_context` (~859 tokens)

Email a parent a link to start SATCoach

Passes SATCoach what the assistant already knows about a child's SAT plans (target score, past PSAT, SAT, or ACT scores, upcoming test dates, weekly practice time, and other help), and SATCoach sends the parent one email from hello@satcoach.ai with a link to set up SATCoach for their child. Only for a parent who wants SAT help for their child and wants SATCoach to follow up; not for a student asking for themselves, for answering questions about SATCoach, or for starting the free skill check. Requires the parent's yes after they've seen exactly what will be sent; consent must be true. Requires agent, the calling assistant's identity. Accepts only the child's first name; last names, school names, phone numbers, health, disability, or accommodation details, and other children's information must not be included, in note either. The reply is the same whether or not the parent already has an account, for example: "SATCoach sent a link to p•••@example.com. The email repeats only the child's first name, target score, and next test date. Everything shared shows on the page the link opens, after the parent signs in. The request is deleted in 7 days if the parent doesn't confirm."

Input parameters:

- `agent` (object, required): Required. The calling assistant's identity: {name, e.g. "Claude"; provider, e.g. "Anthropic"; model?; surface: web (a browser chat site) | desktop_app (a computer app) | mobile_app (a phone or tablet…
