## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (author_list).
  - 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**: 82/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3054 tokens (~127/item across 24 items; 21 tools + 3 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.

Address by ref ("BG 2.13"), source+tokens, or verse id.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string): verse_id.
- `lang` (string): Answer language. Set it to get the canonical translation + alternatives manifest.
- `ref` (string): Reference string, e.g. "BG 2.13".

### `verse_render` (~227 tokens)

Show a verse to the user. THE DEFAULT way to display/read a scripture verse: renders an inline card with the original script (centered), transliteration in the requested language, the word-by-word, and the translation — all at once. Use this whenever the user asks to see, read, open, or quote a specific verse ("покажи БГ 2.13", "read Bhagavad-gita 2.13"). The other verse_* tools are for fetching raw data; for DISPLAY prefer this one. Address by ref ("BG 2.13"), source+tokens, or id; lang sets the script + translation language.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string): verse_id.
- `kind` (string): Translation kind; default "canonical".
- `lang` (string, required): Display language, e.g. "en", "ru".

- `source` (string): Book code / source_id (with tokens).
- `tokens` (string): Position within the book (with source).

Output parameters:

- `id` (string)
- `kind` (string)
- `lang` (string)
- `original` (array)
- `ref` (string)
- `source` (object)

- `tokens` (string)
- `translation` (string)
- `transliteration` (array)

### `verse_synonyms` (~151 tokens)

Fetch the word-by-word ("Synonyms") as a raw {word, meaning} array for one verse translation (data — verse_render already shows the word-by-word inside the card). Defaults to the canonical rendering; pass `kind` for an alternative.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string): verse_id.
- `kind` (string): Translation kind; default "canonical".
- `lang` (string, required): Language of the glosses, e.g. "en", "ru".
- `ref` (string): Reference string, e.g. "BG 2.13".
- `source` (string): Book code / source_id (with tokens).
- `tokens` (string): Position within the book (with source).

Output parameters:

- `error` (object)
- `kind` (string)
- `ok` (boolean)
- `result` (object)

### `verse_translation` (~149 tokens)

Fetch the text of ONE translation of a verse (data, not a card — to display a verse use verse_render). Defaults to the canonical (kind=canonical); pass a `kind` from verse_get's `alternatives` manifest to fetch a specific rendering.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string): verse_id.
- `kind` (string): Translation kind; default "canonical".
- `lang` (string, required): Translation language, e.g. "en", "ru".
