## 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**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1525 tokens (~190/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 80/100
  - Stability observed for 24 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 9 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)

### `equipment_cost_per_hour` (~363 tokens)

Equipment cost per hour

Calculates what a machine really costs per hour to own and operate: depreciation, cost of capital, insurance/taxes/storage, fuel, lubricants, repairs and wear parts. Same math as the Torgix calculator at torgix.ai/learn. Purchase price and hours per year are required; anything else left out uses the calculator's defaults, which the answer lists.

Input parameters:

- `fuel_gallons_per_hour` (number): Fuel burn in gallons per hour (default 4.5)
- `fuel_price_per_gallon` (number): Fuel price per gallon (default 4.10)
- `hours_per_year` (number, required): Hours the machine runs per year
- `insurance_tax_storage_pct` (number): Insurance, taxes and storage as percent of average value per year (default 3)
- `interest_rate_pct` (number): Cost of capital, percent per year (default 8)
- `lube_pct_of_fuel` (number): Lubricants and filters as percent of fuel cost (default 15)
- `operator_wage_per_hour` (number): Operator wage per hour; leave out for a machine-only rate
- `purchase_price` (number, required): Purchase price in US dollars
- `repairs_per_hour` (number): Repairs and parts per hour (default 18)
- `residual_value` (number): Expected resale value at the end of ownership (default 30% of price)
- `wear_parts_cost` (number): Cost of a set of tires, tracks or undercarriage (default 18,000)
- `wear_parts_life_hours` (number): Hours a set of tires or tracks lasts (default 4,000)
- `years_owned` (number): Years you expect to own it (default 7)

### `repair_rebuild_or_replace` (~368 tokens)

Repair, rebuild or replace

Decides whether to repair (or rebuild) a machine or replace it, by comparing cost per hour. The repair is priced by the hours it buys before the next major event. Uses the method on torgix.ai/learn/repair-rebuild-or-replace. Give the replacement either as a cost per hour or as a purchase price. For a rebuild, enter the rebuild cost and the much larger hours it buys.

Input parameters:

- `current_operating_cost_per_hour` (number, required): What it costs to operate per hour today (fuel, repairs, wear)
- `current_value` (number, required): What the machine is worth today
- `hours_per_year` (number): Hours it runs per year (default 1,200)
- `hours_repair_buys` (number, required): Hours the repair should run before the next major event (use the low end of the shop's range)
- `insurance_tax_storage_pct` (number): Insurance, taxes and storage percent (default 3)
- `interest_rate_pct` (number): Cost of capital, percent (default 8)
- `repair_cost` (number, required): Repair or rebuild quote in US dollars
- `replacement_cost_per_hour` (number): Total cost per hour of the replacement, if known
- `replacement_operating_cost_per_hour` (number): Replacement's operating cost per hour (default: same as today's machine)
- `replacement_price` (number): Purchase price of the replacement, if the cost per hour is not known
- `replacement_residual_value` (number): Replacement's expected resale value (default 30% of price)
- `replacement_years_owned` (number): Years you'd keep the replacement (default 7)
- `value_after_those_hours` (number, required): What it would be worth after those hours

### `state_compliance_requirements` (~190 tokens)

State and federal compliance requirements

Lists registration, IFTA, IRP, DOT inspection, emissions, permit and highway-use-tax requirements for a US state (or DC) plus the federal items, each with its official source link and the date it was checked. Give a GVWR (and axles, and whether it crosses state lines) to also check CDL, USDOT, IFTA, IRP and Form 2290 weight thresholds. From Torgix's rulebook of 355 cited items. Not legal advice.

Input parameters:

- `axles` (integer): Number of axles on the power unit
- `category` (string): Limit to one category
- `gvwr_lbs` (number): Gross vehicle weight rating in pounds, to check weight thresholds

- `state` (string, required): US state name or two-letter code, or DC

### `fleet_health_check` (~95 tokens)

Fleet health check

Reviews a pasted fleet list (one machine per line: make, model, year, hours; a header row and CSV or tab-separated text both work, up to 200 rows) and flags old machines, high hours, possibly underused units, missing information and duplicate unit IDs, with a fleet summary. Plain rules, nothing stored.

Input parameters:

- `fleet_list` (string, required): The fleet list as text, one machine per line

### `inspection_checklist` (~153 tokens)

Inspection checklist

Returns a ready-to-use inspection checklist for a type of equipment or inspection: daily pre-use, DOT pre-trip, DOT annual, forklift, aerial and scissor lifts (ANSI A92), telehandler (ANSI/ITSDF B56.6), crane, trench, scaffold, harness, ladder, rigging, fire extinguisher, skid steer, excavator, backhoe, wheel loader, dozer, compactor, compressor, generator and more.

Input parameters:

- `equipment` (string, required): Equipment or inspection type, e.g. 'telehandler', 'skid steer', 'dump truck pre-trip'
- `when` (string): Optional timing, e.g. daily, pre-trip, weekly, monthly, annual

### `decode_vin` (~69 tokens)

Decode a VIN

Decodes a 17-character VIN with NHTSA's free vPIC database: year, make, model, body class, GVWR class, engine and more. On-road vehicles only; off-highway equipment uses serial numbers instead.

Input parameters:

- `vin` (string, required): The 17-character VIN

### `recall_lookup` (~133 tokens)

NHTSA recall lookup

Lists the safety recalls NHTSA has issued for a vehicle's year, make and model, or for a VIN (decoded first). Shows campaign number, component, summary and remedy. It cannot say whether a recall is still open on one specific vehicle; that is checked by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with the dealer.

Input parameters:

- `make` (string): Make, e.g. Ford
- `model` (string): Model, e.g. F-550
- `vin` (string): A 17-character VIN (used instead of year, make and model)
- `year`: Model year

### `find_equipment_manual` (~86 tokens)

Find an equipment manual

Finds an operator, service or parts manual (or spec sheet) for a make and model in the Discount Equipment library and returns its title and link. Searches that library only; if it has nothing for the machine, the answer says so.

Input parameters:

- `make` (string, required): Manufacturer, e.g. Bobcat
- `model` (string): Model, e.g. T590
