## 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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 947 tokens (~118/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**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 83/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 50% 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.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - 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)

### `via_list_services` (~45 tokens)

Free VIA service discovery. Lists HTTP services and advertised prices; does not run research, charge, sign or purchase.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): Optional topic or service-name filter

### `via_get_service` (~55 tokens)

Free integration instructions for one VIA HTTP service: exact endpoint, JSON input schema, example and x402 payment steps. Does not execute the service or authorize payment.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Exact service name from via_list_services

### `via_extract_web_lite` (~129 tokens)

Web Text Lite: extract clean text, title and headings from a public HTML or plain-text page (up to 1 MiB, max 10000 characters; no PDF, OCR, JavaScript rendering or links) for 0.001 USDC on Base via x402. PDF URLs are refused before payment; use via_extract_page (0.02 USDC) for PDFs. Nothing is charged if extraction fails. Payment is only made after buyer approval.

Input parameters:

- `maxChars` (integer)
- `url` (string, required): Public HTML or plain-text page; not a PDF

### `via_extract_page` (~63 tokens)

Extract structured text from a public web page or PDF for 0.02 USDC on Base via x402. Payment is only made after buyer approval.

Input parameters:

- `includeLinks` (boolean)
- `maxChars` (integer)
- `url` (string, required)

### `via_api_compare` (~132 tokens)

Compare APIs for a buyer task. Pay0.01 USDC on Base with an authorized x402 wallet, or0.01 USD of prepaid VIA credit if your MCP connection has an x-credit-token header. Prepaid calls require requestId: a fresh UUID per task, reused only to retry the same task without another debit. Returns a recommendation and alternatives. Supplier purchase is separate.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string)
- `intent` (string, required)
- `language` (string)
- `requestId` (string): Required for prepaid credit. New UUID per task; preserve it for retries of identical input.

### `via_one_call_quote` (~110 tokens)

Free quote for the VIA toll: VIA-owned delivery first, eligible paid supplier otherwise. Returns supplier cost, VIA margin and total. No wallet signature or payment. Continue only if ok and executionEnabled are true.

Input parameters:

- `maxUsdc` (string, required): Maximum approved total in USDC, including supplier and VIA margin.
- `orderId` (string): Private client-generated UUIDv4. Required for execution; preserve it and the exact body for payment retry and recovery.
- `task` (string, required)

### `via_one_call` (~170 tokens)

Execute a VIA toll operation through the existing One-Call payment and delivery handler. First call without payment returns the live x402 offer; only after buyer approval, retry IDENTICAL task, maxUsdc and private orderId with the buyer-signed payload in params._meta['x402/payment']. Buyer pays VIA before an eligible external supplier is paid; VIA relays delivery and retains its margin. Only supported tasks/suppliers. No automatic signing or financial retry. Prepaid comparison credits do not fund this tool.

Input parameters:

- `maxUsdc` (string, required): Maximum approved total in USDC, including supplier and VIA margin.
- `orderId` (string, required): Private client-generated UUIDv4. Required for execution; preserve it and the exact body for payment retry and recovery.
- `task` (string, required)

### `via_one_call_status` (~81 tokens)

Free status/recovery lookup for an external Transit order using its private UUIDv4. Never submits payment. Does not cover VIA-owned service receipts; 404 is not proof that a payment did not occur.

Input parameters:

- `orderId` (string, required): Private client-generated UUIDv4. Required for execution; preserve it and the exact body for payment retry and recovery.
