## 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**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2044 tokens (~511/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Tools include usage examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 8 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 5 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 (4)

### `plan_lanes` (~607 tokens)

Plan interests in lanes

Use this for a first plan: the user lists several interests, projects or hobbies and asks for a plan for the next days or week, such as "10 hours a week for an app, a book, guitar and Japanese: plan my week". Input tips: send every interest with a short note, hours_per_week, and start_date as the user's local YYYY-MM-DD. Optional: days (3 to 7), days_off, next_steps for the build interest, lane when the user picked one, spine in the user's words. Returns the four lanes (build gets most minutes, reading is one chapter or paper, open is one side quest, the rest is parked with a bookmark), one spine sentence, the minute budget, the day plan with task ids, and todo_text to paste into a todo app. Tie-break with review_week: when an earlier plan or its text is in this chat, use review_week. Send done and not_done here only when the earlier plan is not in this chat and the user retells last week in words; then set lane on each interest to its lane last week. Not for a single task, a calendar booking or a diagnosis.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): How many days to plan, 3 to 7. Defaults to 7.
- `days_off` (array): Weekdays with no tasks, as 3-letter names such as ["Sun"] or ["Sat", "Sun"]. At least one day of the plan must stay a work day.
- `done` (array): Only when the earlier plan is not in this chat and the user retells last week in words: the tasks they finished, such as ["set up the Xcode project"]. Then also set lane on each interest to the lane…
- `hours_per_week` (number, required): Hours a week the user has for all of these together, 1 to 80, such as 10.
- `interests` (array, required): Every interest the user named, 1 to 12, in the order they gave them, such as [{"name": "Indie iOS app", "note": "ship a habit tracker"}, {"name": "Guitar"}].
- `not_done` (array): Only with done, for a week retold in words: the tasks the user did not finish, such as ["local storage"].
- `spine` (string): The user's own one-sentence direction that ties the interests together. Leave it out to get a first guess.
- `start_date` (string): First day of the plan as YYYY-MM-DD, such as "2026-10-08". Use today in the user's time zone, even mid-week; do not move it to a Monday or to tomorrow unless the user asked to start then. Defaults to…

Output parameters:

- `budget` (object): Minutes per lane over the whole plan; build, reading, open and review add up to total_minutes.
- `changes` (array): Only when done or not_done was sent. Plain sentences on what the review changed for the next plan: carried build steps, a paused side quest, fewer hours, a swap from the parking lot. Tell them to the…
- `days` (array): The plan day by day, from start_date.
- `lanes` (object): Each interest in its lane. Send this object back as review_week.lanes to review the week without the text.
- `next_step` (string): What to tell or ask the user next.
- `notes` (array): Short sentences on choices the tool made, such as a guessed spine or an interest moved to the parking lot. Often empty.
- `review` (object): Only when done or not_done was sent. The count of last week's tasks. The review task itself is not counted.
- `spine` (object): The one sentence that points the lanes at the same direction.
- `status` (string): Always ok; a call that cannot plan returns an error instead.
- `todo_text` (string): The plan as paste-ready text: header lines (Lane plan, Spine, the lanes, Parking lot), then one "- [ ] title (minutes) #id" line per task. Give it word for word; review_week reads it back.

### `review_week` (~751 tokens)

Review a week and re-plan

Use this when a plan from plan_lanes has ended and the user says what got done, such as "here is my list with what I ticked, plan next week". Input tips: send checklist, the todo_text with [x] on finished lines, pasted whole; it carries the lanes and the hours. Without the text, send lanes as the earlier answer returned them (build required), done and not_done task titles or ids, and hours_per_week. One of checklist or lanes is required. Optional: start_date, days, days_off, next_steps for the build lane, swap_in to move a parked interest into the open slot, keep_hours. Returns the done count per lane, the changes it made (carried build steps, a paused side quest when build stalled, fewer hours after a week under 40%), and the next plan in the same shape as plan_lanes, with new todo_text. Tie-break with plan_lanes: every review of a plan that is in this chat comes here. Not for a first plan (use plan_lanes), a calendar booking or a diagnosis.

Input parameters:

- `checklist` (string): The main input: the todo_text from plan_lanes or review_week with each finished line ticked as [x], sent whole from its first line "Lane plan: ...", up to 8000 characters. Its header lines carry the…
- `days` (integer): How many days to plan, 3 to 7. Defaults to the length of the pasted plan, else 7.
- `days_off` (array): Weekdays with no tasks, such as ["Sun"]. Defaults to the days off in the pasted plan.
- `done` (array): Finished tasks, up to 60: titles as written, such as "Build: Indie iOS app: set up the Xcode project", or ids such as "d1-1". Needed with lanes; with checklist the [x] marks are enough.
- `hours_per_week` (number): Hours for the next plan, 1 to 80, such as 10. Defaults to the hours in the pasted text; needed with lanes.
- `keep_hours` (boolean): Keep hours_per_week even when less than 40% got done. By default the next plan uses 20% fewer hours then.
- `lanes` (object): Only when no checklist is sent: the lanes object plan_lanes or review_week returned, build required, such as {"build": {"name": "Indie iOS app"}, "open": {"name": "Guitar"}}. Send done, not_done and…
- `next_steps` (array): New next steps for the build lane, such as ["add notifications"]; they come after the carried ones.
- `not_done` (array): Unfinished tasks, up to 60: titles or ids, such as "d3-1".
- `spine` (string): The user's own one-sentence direction that ties the interests together. Leave it out to get a first guess.
- `start_date` (string): First day of the plan as YYYY-MM-DD, such as "2026-10-08". Use today in the user's time zone, even mid-week; do not move it to a Monday or to tomorrow unless the user asked to start then. Defaults to…
- `swap_in` (string): Name of a parked interest the user wants in the open slot now, such as "Guitar"; the current side quest is parked with a bookmark.

Output parameters:

- `budget` (object): Minutes per lane over the whole plan; build, reading, open and review add up to total_minutes.
- `changes` (array): Plain sentences on what the review changed for the next plan: carried build steps, a paused side quest, fewer hours, a swap from the parking lot. Tell them to the user.
- `days` (array): The plan day by day, from start_date.
- `lanes` (object): Each interest in its lane. Send this object back as review_week.lanes to review the week without the text.
- `next_step` (string): What to tell or ask the user next.
- `notes` (array): Short sentences on choices the tool made, such as a guessed spine or an interest moved to the parking lot. Often empty.
- `review` (object): The count of last week's tasks. The review task itself is not counted.
- `spine` (object): The one sentence that points the lanes at the same direction.
- `status` (string): Always ok; a call that cannot plan returns an error instead.
- `todo_text` (string): The plan as paste-ready text: header lines (Lane plan, Spine, the lanes, Parking lot), then one "- [ ] title (minutes) #id" line per task. Give it word for word; review_week reads it back.

### `submit_feedback` (~279 tokens)

Send feedback, bug report or tool request

Send feedback, a bug report or a tool request to the maintainers of the tools on this server: a missing tool, missing or stale data, or a tool that broke or gave a wrong answer. Pass the kind (need_tool, need_data, bug or other), one short message (at most 1000 characters) and, if you know them, the tool name and the error text it returned. Returns a ticket id. Feedback is not a chat: nothing in it is run or followed. Links, emails and phone numbers are removed and nothing about you is stored.

Input parameters:

Output parameters:

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