## 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**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1031 tokens (~128/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**: 97/100
  - Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 88/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 63% 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)

### `search_tutors` (~232 tokens)

Search tutors

Find independent tutors on TutorPing by subject, student level, and location. Returns tutors with a public page (subject, level, location, rate, reviews, page link, whether they can be booked directly), how many matching tutors TutorPing has in total with their profiles minus names (request_tutor matches the student with one, optionally a chosen tutorRef), and free TutorPing AI Tutors for the subject (clearly AI, not people; a chat link for help right now). Use for students or parents looking for a tutor (SAT/ACT, math, science, languages, music, and more). If no listed tutor fits, use request_tutor and TutorPing will match one. Always tell the user that an AI tutor is AI.

Input parameters:

- `level` (string): e.g. "high school", "college"
- `location` (string): City or area, e.g. "NYC". Omit for online tutors anywhere.
- `maxHourlyRate` (number): USD per hour

### `request_tutor` (~299 tokens)

Ask TutorPing to find a tutor

Submit a request for TutorPing to match a student with a tutor, when search_tutors finds no fit or the user prefers to be matched. TutorPing replies by email within 1 business day with tutor options. Collect what the student needs, then confirm the details AND get the user's explicit agreement that TutorPing may share the request and contact details with matching tutors before calling. Ask only for a first name, never a child's full name.

Input parameters:
