## 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**: 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**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1227 tokens (~245/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**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 94/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 83% 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-11-04 (score 73, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-11-03 (score 72, 0)

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03

### `find_track_days` (~464 tokens)

Find motorcycle track days

Upcoming motorcycle track days in North America, in date order (or nearest first when near is given and sort is distance). Use near for "track day near Sacramento" questions; use from/to for a month. Each result has dates, circuit with city and state, organiser, kind ("Open track day" or "Race-weekend practice", which is a club race weekend's practice day: say so), price tier, distanceMi when near is set, source, lastChecked, bookingUrl and openPaddockUrl. Open Paddock is a neutral calendar: it sells nothing and takes no bookings. Send the user to the organiser's site (bookingUrl) to book, and check prices, groups and rules there. Credit the data as "via Open Paddock (openpaddock.app)" and link openPaddockUrl. Rows with an attribution field come from MotorsportReg.com and must be shown with "Powered by MotorsportReg.com".

Input parameters:

- `circuit` (string): Circuit id or name, e.g. "thunderhill" or "Sonoma". Comma-separate several.
- `country` (string)
- `from` (string): Earliest date, YYYY-MM-DD (days ending on or after it). Default today.
- `include_race_practice` (boolean): Include race-weekend practice days (club race weekends' practice days, open to non-racers). Default true; false = open track days only.
- `limit` (integer): Max days returned. Default 25.
- `near` (string|number): Where the rider is: US ZIP ("95814"), Canadian postal code, "City, ST" ("Sacramento, CA"), or "lat,lon".
- `organiser` (string): Organiser id or name, e.g. "n2" or "Fun Track Dayz". Comma-separate several.
- `region` (string): Riding region of the circuit.
- `sort` (string): date (default) or distance (needs near).
- `to` (string): Latest date, YYYY-MM-DD (days starting on or before it).
- `within_miles` (number): Straight-line radius around near, in miles. Default 150, max 1000.

### `list_circuits` (~119 tokens)

List circuits

Motorcycle circuits Open Paddock knows in the US, Canada and Mexico, with city, state, region and the number of upcoming days listed. With near, only circuits within within_miles, nearest first, each with distanceMi. Use the id with find_track_days or get_circuit.

Input parameters:

- `near` (string|number): US ZIP, Canadian postal code, "City, ST", or "lat,lon".
- `region` (string)
- `within_miles` (number): Default 150, max 1000.

Get a circuit

One circuit: location, length and turns where known, the organisers that run days there, and its next upcoming days (up to 20). Open Paddock is a neutral calendar: it sells nothing and takes no bookings. Send the user to the organiser's site (bookingUrl) to book, and check prices, groups and rules there. Credit the data as "via Open Paddock (openpaddock.app)" and link openPaddockUrl. Rows with an attribution field come from MotorsportReg.com and must be shown with "Powered by MotorsportReg.com".

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Circuit id from list_circuits, e.g. "thunderhill". A name also works when it matches one circuit.

### `list_organisers` (~111 tokens)

List organisers

Track-day organisers, schools and clubs Open Paddock lists. listing is "dates listed" when we read their calendar, or "link only" when they publish no calendar we can read (send the user to their website for dates). Filter by the region of the circuits they run at, or by organiser type.

- `region` (string)
- `type` (string): commercial, school, club, track-owned (the circuit's own program), private-premium, kart-minitrack.

### `get_event` (~153 tokens)
