## 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**: 73/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3082 tokens (~513/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**: 87/100
  - Stability observed for 26 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 95% 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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)

### `find_performer` (~176 tokens)

Find a performer

Find a performer, band, comedian or act in Bay Area by name (words in `query` must all match; case-insensitive) and get their upcoming events, top venues, genres or topics and the platforms that list them. Names come only from public event listings; there are no contact details. Use it for "when is <band> playing" or "who plays at <venue>". For events by topic or venue rather than by name, use search_events; use get_event with an id for one event's full listing. No sign-in; each client gets 30 calls a minute and 2,500 event rows an hour.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max matches (default 10, max 25)
- `query` (string, required): Part of a name, e.g. 'khruangbin'

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (string)
- `coverage` (string|null): Coverage and accuracy page
- `data_generated` (string|null): When this city's data was last published
- `directory_generated` (string|null)
- `matched` (number)
- `matches` (array)
- `query` (string|null)

### `create_custom_calendar` (~284 tokens)

Create a custom calendar

Build a subscribable calendar of upcoming Bay Area events from the user's interests. Returns a link that opens the calendar on SF Events (open_on_sf_events; give the user this first), subscribe links (Google Calendar, Apple/Outlook webcal, plain .ics) and a preview. The calendar refreshes itself every few hours, so new matching events keep appearing. An event is included if it matches ANY interest and no exclude term. Nothing is stored by SF Events: the interests are encoded in the link itself. Interview the user first (see the custom_calendar prompt), check matches with search_events, and call this again to adjust. For a one-off answer rather than a standing calendar, use search_events. No sign-in; each client gets 30 calls a minute and 2,500 event rows an hour.

Input parameters:

- `exclude` (array): Words; any event containing one is left out
- `include_kids` (boolean): Include kids'/teens'-only events (default false)
- `include_seniors` (boolean): Include events only for older adults (senior-center programs, 55+ groups; default false)
- `interests` (array, required): 1-12 interests; each needs a query, category or topic
- `name` (string): Calendar name shown in their calendar app, e.g. 'Salsa + AI nights'

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (string)
- `events_next_30_days` (number)
- `events_next_7_days` (number)
- `how_it_works` (string|null)
- `name` (string|null)
- `place_note` (string|null)
- `sample` (array)
- `subscribe` (object): Subscribe links: Google Calendar, Apple/Outlook webcal, plain .ics
- `total_upcoming` (number)

### `search_events` (~1275 tokens)

Search events

Search every upcoming Bay Area event by words, dates, price, topic or place: dance, AI, music, arts, food, sports, comedy, exercise, volunteering, dating, business and professional networking. Use it whenever the question has search words, a date range ("this weekend": from/to), free-only, a town or an area; for a day-by-day overview of the next few days with no search words use list_upcoming, for one act by name find_performer. Words in `query` match the title, venue, performers, organizer or tags at the start of a word, singular or plural, with common synonyms (standup = stand-up, kids = children); by default all of them must match, with match "any" (or | / commas between them) any one does. A word that matches nothing is read as the closest word the events use, and `search` in the result says how the query was read. Dates are local (America/Los_Angeles), YYYY-MM-DD. Results come earliest first, at most `limit`; `count` says how many matched in total, so narrow the search rather than paging. get_city lists valid neighborhood, town, category and topic values. No sign-in; each client gets 30 calls a minute and 2,500 event rows an hour.

Input parameters:

- `audience` (string): Who the event is only for: kids, teens, seniors (older adults: senior-center programs, 55+ groups), or general (none of those). Default: no filter. Caregiver/aging talks for families and professional…

- `city` (string): City, e.g. 'San Francisco' or another town in the Bay Area (case-insensitive)
- `free` (boolean): Only free events (a listed free price, or an unpriced listing from a source whose events are free)
- `from` (string): Earliest date (default: today)
- `limit` (integer): Max results (default 25, max 100)

- `season` (string): Seasonal series tag, e.g. 'techweek27' (only when the site lists one)
- `sector` (string): Industry a work event is for (only events with a work topic carry one; general networking has none): e.g. senior_care, healthcare, real_estate, finance_insurance, legal, tech
- `to` (string): Latest date (default: none)
- `topic` (string): Topic (the site's Arts, Food, Learn, Sports tabs: e.g. comedy, film, food_drink, sports, talks, classes, markets, outdoors; business = chamber mixers, referral groups, small-business workshops, trade…

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (string)

### `get_event` (~132 tokens)

Get one event

Get the full listing for one upcoming event by the `id` that search_events, list_upcoming or find_performer returned: title, dates, venue, price (all-in, or "See tickets"), the original listing (`link`), every source that lists it and first_seen / last_seen / last_fetched dates. Ids stay the same while an event is listed; a past or removed event returns an error, so search again. No sign-in; each client gets 30 calls a minute and 2,500 event rows an hour.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): 12-character event id

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (string)
- `coverage` (string|null): Coverage and accuracy page
- `data_generated` (string|null): When this city's data was last published
- `event` (object)

### `list_upcoming` (~772 tokens)

List upcoming events

Browse the next N days of events day by day, with no search words. `by_day` counts every match per date, and when more events match than `limit` the rows are spread evenly across the days (earliest first within each day), so each day is represented. Use it for overviews like "what's happening this week"; for search words, free-only, a town or exact from/to dates use search_events, and for one event's details get_event. Optional filters: one category or topic, an audience, and a place: `neighborhood` keeps events inside a named area (radius_km widens it past the boundary), `near` ranks events by distance from a place or "lat,lon" within radius_km. No sign-in; each client gets 30 calls a minute and 2,500 event rows an hour.

Input parameters:

- `audience` (string): Who the event is only for: kids, teens, seniors (older adults: senior-center programs, 55+ groups), or general (none of those). Default: no filter. Caregiver/aging talks for families and professional…
