## 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 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 10 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 53/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1840 tokens (~184/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 79/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 36% 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 11 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 (10)

### `launchfiles_standalone_design_ux_radar_free` (~474 tokens)

Public free Design UX Radar preview for one URL. Scores come from fixed rules; a small language model writes the next-step text. Paid tier is not open to the public yet. Does not edit or publish the site. Rate-limited. Optional partner leave-behind fields add structured zones on this JSON response only (not public /cro chrome). client_ref is echoed so the caller can file the pair in their own DB; Launchfiles does not list runs by client. hide_lf_chrome is honored only for an authenticated lf_agent_ key; otherwise the response sets hide_lf_chrome false and wl_entitlement needs_auth. logo_url is an https URL shape check only (no fetch); a bad shape returns LOGO_URL_INVALID and no leave-behind.

Input parameters:

- `brand_name` (string): Partner display name. Empty keeps Launchfiles labels. Do not invent a name.
- `client_ref` (string): Opaque client tag echoed next to run_id. Distro files this pair in Distro's DB. Launchfiles does not isolate or list clients from this echo.
- `device` (string)
- `hide_lf_chrome` (boolean): When true, Launchfiles wordmark and powered-by are removed only if the caller authenticated with lf_agent_ (including a partner-scoped key). Otherwise hide_lf_chrome is false and wl_entitlement is ne…
- `idempotency_key` (string)
- `locale` (string)
- `logo_url` (string): Absolute https URL. Shape is checked; this path does not fetch the image. Invalid shape returns LOGO_URL_INVALID.
- `notify_email` (string): Optional. If you want a link back to this report later, send an email. Not required.
- `partner_id` (string): Optional. Must match the partner_id claim on the lf_agent_ key. A mismatch or an anonymous claim returns UNAUTHORIZED_PARTNER or NEEDS_AUTH. Omit to use the key's claim. Partner keys also consume the…
- `primary_color` (string): Optional #RGB or #RRGGBB header accent. Invalid values are ignored.
- `role` (string)
- `url` (string, required): Public https URL to analyze (preview mode only).

### `launchfiles_standalone_search_repair_radar_free` (~186 tokens)

Public free Search Repair Radar teaser. Preview only — never unlocks the $29/mo paid repair packet. Owned product properties that already declare Search Console on their adapter use that bind (no access_token). Other sites need a Google access_token or return needs_auth + human connect URL. Rate-limited.

Input parameters:

- `access_token` (string): Optional. OAuth access token with webmasters.readonly for sites that are not an owned adapter property. Not required for an already-bound product GSC property.
- `gsc_site_url` (string): GSC property e.g. sc-domain:example.com or https://example.com/
- `idempotency_key` (string)
- `notify_email` (string): Optional. If you want a link back to this report later, send an email. Not required.
- `site_url` (string)

### `launchfiles_standalone_deployment_trust_radar_free` (~146 tokens)

Input parameters:

- `autonomy` (string, required)

List payment providers available for agent checkout (id, enabled, mode, rails). Discover-only; does not spend or mutate ledger.

### `launchfiles_billing_create_checkout` (~154 tokens)

Create provider-agnostic agent checkout. Returns payment_url and/or x402 challenge plus poll_url. Poll until paid to receive agent_api_key once. Does not debit credits or publish.

Input parameters:

- `customerEmail` (string): Buyer email (required for card/link; optional for pure x402).
- `idempotencyKey` (string)
- `offerId` (string, required): Commercial SKU id (page_draft_long or pack_starter_40). Hunt-shaped ids (hunt, hunt_for_hire, product_hunt, hunt-meter) are founder-only and not for sale.
- `preferredRail` (string)
- `provider` (string): Optional provider id (stripe|xmoney|x402).

### `launchfiles_billing_poll_checkout` (~66 tokens)

### `launchfiles_request_agent_key` (~153 tokens)

Primary agentic mint. Emails a one-time approve link to an allowlisted or approved-waitlist address. Returns poll_token. Does not mint a key until the link is opened. Rejects other addresses. Optional partner_id mints an lf_agent_ key whose scopes carry that partner claim (allowlist only). Omit partner_id for a generic agent key. Developer keys are not minted here. Founder UI is backup.

Input parameters:

- `email` (string, required)
- `partner_id` (string): Optional partner id. Must be on LAUNCHFILES_PARTNER_ALLOWLIST or the call returns UNKNOWN_PARTNER and sends no email. The minted secret stays lf_agent_ and stores partner_id:<id> in scopes.

### `launchfiles_poll_agent_key` (~52 tokens)

Collect the lf_agent_ key once after the approve link is opened. Pending until then. Second poll redacts the secret.

Input parameters:

- `pollToken` (string)
- `poll_token` (string, required)

### `launchfiles_standalone_page_draft_paid` (~276 tokens)

Paid Page Draft after a settled page_draft_long checkout, or a founder-issued developer key (no Stripe). Same writer door as the web buyer. Pass unlock_token from billing poll, or Authorization: Bearer with the developer key, plus a brief (who, and proof or proof_mode=no_proof). length=short|medium|long. Optional piece_kind: blog_post | landing_page | essay | social_post | seo_page | other. Omitted piece_kind keeps today's inference (short social/X stays cognition). A developer key may request short. Not a credit debit. Nothing is published. Writer failure is named — never an outline template.

Input parameters:

- `length` (string)
- `next_step` (string)
- `paymentId` (string)
- `payment_id` (string)

Writer-short draft (~400 words). A founder-issued developer key gets full product access — no Stripe Writer checkout. Same writer door as the web buyer. Send the developer key as Authorization: Bearer (hosted MCP also accepts x-api-key or JSON-RPC _meta). Pass a brief (who, and proof or proof_mode=no_proof). Optional piece_kind: blog_post | landing_page | essay | social_post | seo_page | other. Omitted piece_kind keeps today's short→cognition social/X path. Owned blog/essay + piece_kind can return a pasteable dek. Nothing is published. Writer failure is named — never an outline template.

Input parameters:

- `next_step` (string)
- `piece_kind` (string): Surface. blog_post/essay with an owned URL can exit cognition and emit a card dek. Omit for today's cognition short.
- `proof` (string)

- `topic` (string)
- `url` (string)
