Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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. How we score →

Endpoint Security63

The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
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. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

Transport & Reachability100

Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass

Schema Quality & AI Usability50

AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3102 tokens (~775/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management10

Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

Tool Coverage100

100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass

Capabilities100

Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 4 exposed · ~2,793 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

query_wire Query a specialist data wire ~2,565

Pull the latest items from one specialist wire. Match the user's question to an 'ask when' below, then pass that wire key. Wires: edgar -> ask when the question is about a company's SEC filings, insider trades, or a specific form (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, Form 4, S-1, 13F, 13D) [filter "form": 8-k|10-q|10-k|form-4|s-1|13f|6-k|13d; full tier $0.01]; cve -> ask when the question is about a vulnerability, CVE, or security advisory affecting a named product or vendor [filter "src": cisa|ubuntu|msrc|debian|zdi; full tier $0.005]; reg -> ask when the question is about a new US federal rule, proposed rule, notice, or presidential document [filter "type": rule|proposed-rule|notice|presidential; full tier $0.005]; weather -> ask when the question is about an active US severe-weather alert for a place: storm, flood, heat, winter, wind [filter "severity": extreme|severe|immediate; full tier $0.005]; quake -> ask when the question is about a recent earthquake, its magnitude, depth, or location [filter "mag": significant|m4.5|m2.5; full tier $0.005]; arxiv -> ask when the question is about a new AI, ML, NLP, or security research paper [filter "cat": ai|ml|nlp|security; full tier $0.005]; fed -> ask when the question is about what the Federal Reserve, the FOMC, or the ECB just said about rates or policy [filter "src": fed|fomc|ecb; full tier $0.01]; hn -> ask when the question is about what developers are discussing or upvoting right now [filter "feed": frontpage|show|rising; full tier $0.005]; status -> ask when the question is about whether AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, Cloudflare, OpenAI, or Anthropic is currently down [filter "provider": aws|github|cloudflare|openai|anthropic|azure|gcp; full tier $0.005]; ailab -> ask when the question is about what OpenAI, DeepMind, Google, Hugging Face, or AWS just announced or released [filter "lab": openai|deepmind|google|huggingface|aws; full tier $0.005]; sec-news -> ask when the question is about a breach, ransomware incident, or threat-actor camp…

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
filter	string	—	Wire-specific filter value, see the wire list

search_news Search real-time news ~156

Ask when the question is general, cross-domain, or 'what is happening today'. Ranked search over 40 curated news sources, polled on every ingest run. For a domain-specific question (a filing, a CVE, a court ruling, an outage) prefer query_wire — a domain wire is always more precise than keyword search over news. Keyword search, not semantic: send distinctive terms. Free preview: top 3 results.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
category	string	—	Restrict to one category
query	string	yes	Search terms, e.g. 'fed rates' or 'bitcoin etf'
