## 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 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 66/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1645 tokens (~329/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 14 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions.
- **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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **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 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 (5)

### `count_business_days` (~396 tokens)

Count working days, workdays and PTO

Use this when the user asks how many working days, business days, workdays, office days or PTO days there are between two dates, or for a statutory holiday count, for example "how many working days between 14 July and 18 August in Germany?", "how many working days are left in December in Ontario?" or "does 16 days of leave cover 5 to 31 December?". Pass the country code, the start and end dates as YYYY-MM-DD, and a region when the user names a state or province. Both dates are counted by default (includeStartDate and includeEndDate change that). Weekends are Saturday and Sunday unless weekendDays is set. Returns the number of business days, calendar days and weekend days, the public holidays that fell on working days, the holidays only some regions keep, and the conventions used. Do not use it for hours, time zones, or date differences that do not exclude weekends and holidays.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code whose holidays apply, such as US, GB, DE, AU or VN.
- `endDate` (string, required): Last date of the range, YYYY-MM-DD. Not before startDate.
- `includeEndDate` (boolean): Count endDate when it is a working day. Default true.
- `includeStartDate` (boolean): Count startDate when it is a working day. Default true.
- `region` (string): State, province or nation within the country, as a subdivision code such as DE-BY or BY (Bavaria), GB-SCT (Scotland), US-CA or AU-NSW. Optional.
- `startDate` (string, required): First date of the range, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `weekendDays` (array): Days of the week that are not working days. Default: saturday and sunday. Use friday and saturday where that is the weekend.

### `add_business_days` (~348 tokens)

Calculate a business-day due date and SLA

Pass the country code, the start date as YYYY-MM-DD, the number of days (negative for earlier) and a region when the user names one. The start date is day 0 and is not counted. Returns the resulting date and weekday, the holidays skipped, and the conventions used. At most 1000 business days. Do not use it for legal deadlines that follow their own court or contract rules, or for calendar-day offsets.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code whose holidays apply, such as US, GB, DE, AU or VN.
- `days` (integer, required): Working days to move: positive for later, negative for earlier. At most 1000 either way.
- `region` (string): State, province or nation within the country, as a subdivision code such as DE-BY or BY (Bavaria), GB-SCT (Scotland), US-CA or AU-NSW. Optional.
- `startDate` (string, required): The date to count from, YYYY-MM-DD. It is day 0 and is not counted.

Pass the country code and the year, a region when the user names one, and kind school for school holidays, which are published for a limited set of countries. Public holidays come back with the date, weekday, English and local name, whether they apply nationwide or in listed regions, and whether they are a day off. Do not use it for religious or cultural festival dates without a country, trading-day calendars, or company holidays.

Pass the kind (need_tool, need_data, bug or other), one short message (at most 1000 characters) and, if you know it, the tool name. Returns a ticket id.

Input parameters:

- `ticket` (string, required): The ticket id that submit_feedback returned.

Output parameters:

- `note` (string)
- `reply` (string|null)
- `status` (string)
