## 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 2026-09-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 8 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 87/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 724 tokens (~72/item across 10 items; 8 tools + 2 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 70/100
  - Stability observed for 21 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 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 10 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 (8)

### `search_lessons` (~92 tokens)

Search Torah lessons

Search TheWholeTorah.ai for lessons on a topic, across Mishnah, Tanya, Hayom Yom and Chassidus. Returns titles, links and short excerpts. Use this first to find what exists, then get_lesson for one.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): How many results (1-10, default 5).
- `query` (string, required): What to look for, in any language.

### `get_lesson` (~55 tokens)

Get a lesson

Fetch one lesson by its slug (from search_lessons). Returns the lesson's opening in full and a link to read or listen to the rest on TheWholeTorah.ai.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): The lesson slug.

### `get_source_text` (~66 tokens)

Get the classical source text

Fetch the classical source text a lesson is built on (Mishnah, Shulchan Aruch, Tanya), vocalized, in full. These are public-domain texts via Sefaria.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): A lesson slug; returns the source text that lesson teaches.

### `get_daily` (~112 tokens)

Today's Hayom Yom

The Hayom Yom entry for a civil date (default: today in Jerusalem). Hayom Yom is the Rebbe's calendar of daily Chassidus teachings, one short entry per Hebrew calendar day. Note: the Jewish day begins at nightfall, so after dark the next day's entry applies.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Civil date, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: today in Jerusalem.
- `language` (string): Entry language: en, he, es, fr, ru, yi. Default en.

### `list_books` (~40 tokens)

List the library

The catalog: every book and collection on TheWholeTorah.ai with its sections and published lesson counts. Use it to see what the library covers before searching.

### `search_sources` (~107 tokens)

Search the classical sources

Hybrid search over the classical text corpora themselves (Mishnah, Talmud, Rashi, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, Tanya, the commentaries and more), separate from our lessons. Returns labeled passages with links where available. Use search_lessons for our teaching; use this for the primary texts.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): How many passages (1-10, default 5).
- `query` (string, required): What to look for, in any language.

### `get_audio` (~59 tokens)

Get lesson audio

Narration links for a lesson by slug: one MP3 URL per language that has a published recording, so the lesson can be listened to, not just read.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): The lesson slug (from search_lessons or get_daily).

### `ask` (~93 tokens)

Ask a grounded Torah question

Ask a question and get an answer grounded ONLY in TheWholeTorah.ai's own lessons and sources, with citations. It will say when it does not know rather than guess. Prefer this for 'what does X say about Y' questions.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string): Answer language: en, he, es, fr, ru, yi. Default en.
- `question` (string, required): The question, in any language.
