## 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 2026-10-16.

- **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**: 78/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 752 tokens (~125/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_skills` (~187 tokens)

Skill 검색

하려는 작업에 맞는 Skill 을 검색합니다. 이름·요약·분류와 기본 금액·예상 금액(포인트), 사용 건수 구간·좋아요 수·평점을 돌려줍니다. sort 로 추천·인기·많이 쓴 순서를 고를 수 있습니다. [무료]

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): 분류
- `cursor` (string): 다음 페이지 커서
- `limit` (integer): 한 번에 받을 개수(최대 20)
- `query` (string): 찾으려는 작업을 나타내는 검색어
- `sort` (string): 순서. recommended 추천, popular 인기, used 많이 사용, likes 좋아요순, rating 평점순, new 최신, mine 내가 자주 쓴, liked 내가 좋아요한. 생략하면 등록 순

### `get_skill` (~65 tokens)

Skill 상세

Skill 의 입력·출력 형식, 기본 금액과 예상 금액, 처리 상한, 예제를 확인합니다. 실행 전에 입력 형식을 맞추는 데 씁니다. [무료]

Input parameters:

- `skill_id` (string, required): search_skills 결과의 skill_id

### `quote_skill` (~116 tokens)

Skill 견적

실행 전 예상 금액 조회. 입력을 검사하고 이 입력으로 실행했을 때의 예상 금액(estimated_points)과 최대 금액(max_points)을 알려 줍니다. 실행하지 않으며 과금되지 않습니다. 결과는 5분 동안 유효합니다. [무료]

Input parameters:

- `input` (object, required): Skill 의 input_schema 에 맞는 입력 객체
- `skill_id` (string, required): search_skills 결과의 skill_id
- `version` (string): 버전. 생략하면 현재 게시 버전

### `run_skill` (~273 tokens)

Skill 실행

Skill 을 실행합니다. 결과가 검증되어 반환될 때만 차감되고, 실패·시간초과·취소는 차감되지 않습니다. 차감 금액은 기본 금액에 실제 AI 사용 비용을 더한 값이며 billing.charged_points 로 알려 줍니다. 같은 idempotency_key 로 다시 보내면 새로 실행하지 않고 같은 실행을 돌려줍니다. 20초 안에 끝나지 않으면 run_id 만 돌려주므로 get_skill_run 으로 확인합니다. [실제 사용한 만큼 포인트 차감]

Input parameters:

- `idempotency_key` (string, required): 이 실행을 구분하는 고유 값. 재시도할 때 같은 값을 씁니다
- `input` (object, required): Skill 의 input_schema 에 맞는 입력 객체
- `max_cost_points` (integer): 최대 금액이 이 값보다 높으면 실행하지 않습니다. 실제 차감액은 이 값을 넘지 않습니다
- `quote_id` (string): quote_skill 이 돌려준 번호
- `skill_id` (string, required): search_skills 결과의 skill_id
- `version` (string): 버전. 생략하면 현재 게시 버전
- `wait_seconds` (integer): 결과를 기다릴 시간(초). 기본 20

### `get_skill_run` (~51 tokens)

Skill 실행 조회

실행 상태와 과금 상태를 확인합니다. 성공한 실행은 결과를 함께 돌려줍니다. [무료]

Input parameters:

- `run_id` (string, required): run_skill 이 돌려준 run_id

### `cancel_skill_run` (~60 tokens)

Skill 실행 취소

아직 끝나지 않은 실행을 취소합니다. 취소된 실행은 과금되지 않습니다. 이미 끝난 실행은 취소할 수 없습니다. [무료]

Input parameters:

- `run_id` (string, required): run_skill 이 돌려준 run_id
