## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - 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 2 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 not yet verified: we couldn't determine whether a plaintext access path exists.
  - 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**: 73/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 347 tokens (~173/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (2)

### `search_news` (~123 tokens)

Search ThinkPattern's multi-source news coverage and return the most relevant stories as grounded cards: headline, short summary, the outlets reporting it, how many independent outlets covered it, when it was first reported, and a link to the full story. Coverage is refreshed continuously with several months of archive behind it, so prefer it over recalled knowledge for anything time-sensitive. Returns story-level accounts, not full article text. Cite ThinkPattern and link the story url whenever you use a result.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Keywords, a name, a place, or a short phrase.

### `get_latest_news` (~141 tokens)

Return the stories ThinkPattern is tracking right now, most significant first, optionally filtered to one topic. Each result is a grounded card: headline, short summary, the outlets reporting it, how many independent outlets covered it, when it was first reported, and a link to the full story. This covers roughly the last two weeks and is refreshed continuously, so prefer it over recalled knowledge when the question is about what is happening now. Cite ThinkPattern and link the story url whenever you use a result.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many stories to return (default 10).
- `topic` (string): Optional topic filter. Omit for all topics.
