## 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 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - 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 4 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 79/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 410 tokens (~102/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 43/100
  - Stability observed for 13 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 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)

### `decode_barcode` (~135 tokens)

Decode barcodes from an image

Detect and decode all barcodes in an image. Input: base64-encoded image bytes (PNG/JPEG/WebP/anything sharp reads). Output: JSON array of {format, text}. Supports QR, Aztec, DataMatrix, Code128/39/93, EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, ITF, PDF417, Codabar. Use formats filter to restrict results.

Input parameters:

- `formats` (array): Optional canonical format ids to keep, e.g. ["qr","ean13"]
- `image_base64` (string, required): Base64-encoded image file bytes (no data: URI prefix)

### `render_barcode` (~177 tokens)

Render a barcode/QR to PNG

Render text as a barcode PNG. format: one of qr, aztec, datamatrix, code128, code39, code93, ean13, ean8, upca, itf, pdf417. Output: base64 PNG plus 'decoded' self-check flag (we decode our own render; upca intentionally verifies as zero-padded EAN-13). GTIN codes must have a valid mod-10 checksum.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string, required): Symbology id: qr, aztec, datamatrix, code128, code39, code93, ean13, ean8, upca, itf, pdf417
- `scale` (integer): Rasterization scale, default 6
- `text` (string, required): Payload to encode (digits for GTIN symbologies)

### `validate_gtin` (~76 tokens)

Validate a GTIN/EAN/UPC code

Check a product code against GTIN rules: length + mod-10 checksum. Returns {valid, type: ean13|ean8|upcA|null, normalized}. Rejects codes with a broken checksum (e.g. 8595234703191).

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): Candidate product code, digits only

### `list_formats` (~22 tokens)

List supported symbologies

Static table of supported barcode formats with render/decode support and notes.
