## 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 2026-09-25.

- **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 7 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**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1464 tokens (~209/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 73/100
  - Stability observed for 22 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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 (7)

### `search_flours` (~83 tokens)

Search the Pandough flour database. Returns flour names, protein %, W strength, hydration ranges, and types. Use this to help users find the right flour for their bake.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): Search term (name, brand, or type)
- `tag` (string): Filter by tag (e.g. 'pizza', 'bread', 'pastry')

### `get_flour_details` (~64 tokens)

Get detailed information about a specific flour by its slug. Returns full profile including protein, W strength, hydration curve, maturation profiles, and description.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Flour slug (e.g. 'caputo-pizzeria', 'manitoba-oro')

### `list_recipes` (~75 tokens)

List the dough recipe styles plan_bake supports. Call this when a user names a style (Neapolitan, classica, focaccia, bread, baguette) so you pass the correct recipeSlug instead of guessing — and so you never confuse a style word like 'classica' with a flour whose name contains it.

### `plan_bake` (~989 tokens)

Create a bake plan with ingredient calculations. Returns exact ingredient amounts in grams, an auto-sized yeast amount, a fermentation schedule, dough warnings, and a calculator URL the user can open in Pandough with all parameters prefilled. Before calling this, gather the inputs that actually determine a good plan (skip any the user already volunteered): (1) Strongly ask which oven model they use — call search_ovens and pass ovenSlug. If it is unlisted, ask for ovenType plus ovenMaxCelsius. Oven capability materially changes the hydration band and bake feasibility; if the user declines, proceed but say the result is not oven-adapted. (2) Which flour(s) do they have? — call search_flours to resolve a flourSlug (or pass flourBlend for a 2–5 flour cut, e.g. a Pulcinella base with 30% Manitoba); this is what makes hydration and warnings flour-aware. (3) Their room temperature and fridge temperature — pass roomTempCelsius/fridgeTempCelsius; temperature is the dominant driver of yeast amount and timing. (4) How they mix/knead (by hand, stand mixer, no-knead) — plan_bake does not return technique guidance, so pair it with a troubleshoot call for method advice. (5) Do they want a preferment? — pass `preferment` for a biga, poolish, tiga, cold/long biga, or a natural sourdough starter. The yeast figure accounts for the preferment, and the calculator link opens with the build already set up, so recommending a biga in prose without passing this param hands the user a direct dough. Don't interrogate a user who already gave a full brief.

Input parameters:

- `bakeTime` (string): Target bake time as an ISO 8601 datetime (e.g. '2026-06-10T18:00:00Z'). Must be in the future.
- `flourBlend` (array): A weighted flour blend (2–5 flours summing to 100%), e.g. [{flourSlug:'caputo-pizzeria',percent:70},{flourSlug:'manitoba-oro',percent:30}]. Mutually exclusive with flourSlug.
- `flourSlug` (string): Flour slug from search_flours (e.g. 'caputo-pizzeria'). For a single flour. Mutually exclusive with flourBlend.
- `fridgeTempCelsius` (number): The user's real fridge temperature in °C (0–12). Ask the user for it when a cold ferment is involved.
- `fridgeTempHours` (number): Cold fermentation hours (0–168). Pass BOTH this and roomTempHours to lock the split.
- `hydrationPercent` (number): Target hydration percentage (40–110)
- `locale` (string): UI locale for the returned calculator link (e.g. 'en', 'pl', 'it'). Defaults to 'en'.
- `ovenMaxCelsius` (number): The real maximum temperature in °C for an unlisted oven (100–600). This is what constrains hydration and bake time.
- `ovenMinCelsius` (number): Optional minimum set temperature in °C for an unlisted oven.
- `ovenSlug` (string): Exact oven model slug from search_ovens. Strongly preferred: the engine uses the model's real ceiling and oven class to adapt hydration and bake feasibility. Mutually exclusive with manual ovenType/o…
- `ovenType` (string): Oven class for an unlisted model. Pass together with ovenMaxCelsius; prefer ovenSlug when search_ovens finds the model.
- `preferment` (object): Plan the bake around a preferment (biga, poolish, tiga, sourdough…). The yeast figure returned accounts for it, and the calculator link opens with the build already set up.
- `recipeSlug` (string, required): Recipe type slug. Supported: neapolitan-pizza, classica-pizza, focaccia, artisan-bread, baguette (call list_recipes for the full list). When the user names a style like 'classica', pass that style he…
- `roomTempCelsius` (number): The user's real kitchen temperature in °C (2–40). The single biggest driver of yeast amount and timing — ask the user for it.
- `roomTempHours` (number): Room-temperature fermentation hours (0–168). Pass BOTH this and fridgeTempHours to lock the split; naming only a total lets the engine choose. Room legs above 14h are clamped with a warning.
- `servings` (integer): Number of portions/pizzas (1–50, default: 4)

### `troubleshoot` (~63 tokens)

Search the Pandough baking knowledge base for troubleshooting advice, technique guides, and flour science. Returns curated expert content about common baking issues.

Input parameters:

- `issue` (string, required): The baking issue or question (e.g. 'sticky dough', 'no oven spring', 'cold proof technique')

### `search_ovens` (~102 tokens)

Search the Pandough oven database. Returns oven specs (max temperature, type, fuel) plus recommended bake settings — top/deck heat, bake time, and deck material — computed for a Neapolitan pizza by the same heat engine the site uses.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): Search term (oven name, brand)
- `type` (string): Oven type filter (e.g. 'pizza-oven', 'home-oven', 'outdoor')

### `list_active_bakes` (~88 tokens)

List the signed-in baker's scheduled and active bakes plus live temperature-sensor readings when a device is reporting. The first call prompts the chat app to authorize a Pandough account (OAuth scope bakes:read). Needs Pro (or cancelled-Pro). Returns ids, flour, hydration, schedule, a calculator session link, and probe temps (air around the dough, not dough core).
