Category Security
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 989 tokens (~247/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management17
- Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
audit_agent_skill Audit an agent skill or AGENTS.md ~254
Check an agent skill (SKILL.md with its scripts and references) or AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules before loading it: prompt injection, curl | bash, encoded commands, credential theft, exfiltration, hardcoded keys, persistence. For MCP servers use audit_mcp_server. Give files or one url, not both. Returns level, findings (type, severity, file, line, snippet) and per-file fingerprints to send back as pinned. Costs US$0.005 in USDC on Base (x402); nothing is executed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| files | array | – | The skill files with their relative paths, e.g. [{path: 'SKILL.md', content: '...'}, {path: 'scripts/setup.sh', content: '...'}] (max 50 files, 256 KB in total). Omit when using url |
| pinned | object | – | Optional map of file path to the fingerprint returned by a previous audit; changed files are reported |
| url | string | – | Instead of files: public URL of one raw text file, e.g. a SKILL.md on raw.githubusercontent.com (github.com/.../blob/... links are converted) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
audit_mcp_server Audit an MCP server for tool poisoning ~214
Check an MCP server for tool poisoning before connecting: hidden instructions, sensitive-file access, exfiltration parameters, cross-tool shadowing, rug pulls. For skills or AGENTS.md use audit_agent_skill. Give url (tools are listed read-only, never called) or the pasted tools, not both. Returns level, findings (type, severity, location, snippet) and per-tool fingerprints to send back as pinned. Costs US$0.01 in USDC on Base (x402); servers that cannot be listed are not charged.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| instructions | string | – | Only with tools: the server's instructions from its initialize result |
| pinned | object | – | Optional map of tool name to the fingerprint returned by a previous audit; any change is reported as tool-changed (high) |
| tools | array | – | Instead of url: the tools array of a tools/list result, pasted as is |
| url | string | – | Streamable HTTP endpoint of a public MCP server. Omit when pasting tools |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_prompt_injection Scan content for prompt injection ~231
Scan HTML or text you already have (an email, a document, a tool result, a page fetched elsewhere) for prompt injection before it reaches your prompt. To fetch a URL, use read_url instead; for MCP tool definitions or skill files, use audit_mcp_server or audit_agent_skill. Returns risk (0-1), level (low/medium/high), findings (type, snippet, position, confidence), clean_text and wrapped_text, which marks the rest as untrusted data. Costs US$0.002 in USDC on Base (x402). Max 256 KB.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | string | yes | The HTML or text to scan (max 256 KB) |
| format | string | – | How to parse content: html (default) also strips hidden elements, comments and styles; use text for plain text such as an email body |
| return_text | boolean | – | Include clean_text and wrapped_text (default true); false returns only the report, which is smaller |
| url | string | – | Where the content came from (optional); used to resolve relative links in HTML |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
read_url Read a web page or PDF safely ~174
Fetch a public web page or PDF with hidden text and exfiltration links removed, plus a prompt-injection report. Use it instead of fetching untrusted URLs yourself; for content you already have, use check_prompt_injection. Returns risk (0-1), level, findings, content and wrapped_text: put wrapped_text in your prompt, not the raw page. Costs US$0.005 in USDC on Base (x402); unreadable pages (robots.txt, login, CAPTCHA, JavaScript-only) return a reason and are not charged.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | – | Output format of content: markdown (default) keeps links and headings; text is plain text without links |
| url | string | yes | Public http(s) URL of an HTML page, text file or PDF (up to 5 redirects) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
