## 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**: 77/100
  - 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.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 35/100
  - 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1798 tokens (~256/item across 7 items; 6 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 40/100
  - Stability observed for 12 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 86/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 59% 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 6 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.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_hotels` (~883 tokens)

Search hotels and rooms (smart descriptive search)

Search hotels by a descriptive natural-language query in Arabic or English. Applies star rating, bedroom count, room type, and landmark or view as filters, and returns results grouped into match-quality sections (perfect match, close, alternative type, more) — each with the matched room, its photos, and a live per-night + total stay price, meal plan and cancellation policy — every card shown carries a live price bound to its displayed room. Use it for any hotel search; pass the user's full descriptive phrase as `query` (for example "5-star hotel in Paris" or "two-bedroom apartment with an Eiffel Tower view"). Call check_availability for booking-ready rates on a specific hotel. TIER MEANINGS (disclose when recommending): perfect = every stated constraint met; near = minor deviation; unit_swap = the requested unit type had no availability so a similar type is offered; wider/fallback = constraints relaxed. PRESENTATION (follow this when you talk about the results): you are VICATOO's travel concierge — always call the platform VICATOO, never name any supplier. Speak warmly and help the guest feel confident booking, but stay strictly truthful per 'Truth Before You Book': no invented urgency, no 'booked N times', no fake scarcity — only real signals. The real quality signals you may cite: review_score (out of 10) with review_count, and vibe_priority (what the hotel is known for, e.g. families/spa/luxury). For each hotel say in one line WHY it matches (tier, view, distance, what it is known for, rating), and briefly compare the top 2-3 so the guest can choose. Before strongly recommending one hotel, call get_hotel_reviews for real guest pros/cons. When a card has has_reel=true, offer VICATOO's real room-tour video via get_room_video with that card's reel_id. When the search includes children, mention each hotel's extra-bed note so families know whether a child bed is included before they open the page. NEVER render external/third-party maps (Google Maps widgets etc.) for…

Input parameters:

- `adults` (integer)
- `check_in` (string, required): YYYY-MM-DD
- `check_out` (string, required): YYYY-MM-DD
- `children_ages` (array)
- `lang` (string): The user's language as an ISO 639-1 code (e.g. 'ar', 'ru', 'de', 'fr', 'en') for localizing the result cards. Infer it from the conversation language. If omitted, it is detected from the query script.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum hotels to return across all sections.
- `query` (string, required): The full descriptive search phrase from the user (city + any room type, view, budget, star rating, bedroom count, or vibe cues). Pass exactly what the user typed — e.g. "5-star hotel in Paris" or "شق…
- `residency` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 of guest residency.
- `rooms` (integer)

### `get_hotel_details` (~312 tokens)

Get full details for a hotel

Fetch full details for a single hotel by its VICATOO hotel_id (numeric hid or slug). Returns name, star rating, REAL guest rating (score/10 + review count — cite it, and call get_hotel_reviews for guest pros/cons before strongly recommending), what the hotel is known for (vibe_tags), location, check-in/out times, headline amenities, images, a description, AND the available rooms cheapest-first — each with photos, live from-price, size, view, bed type, meal plan and cancellation. When has_video is true, offer the real room-tour video via get_room_video with the returned reel_id.

Input parameters:

- `currency` (string): 3-letter ISO currency for room prices. Defaults to USD so hotel details match the search-result prices; pass the same currency the guest saw in search.
- `hotel_id` (required): VICATOO hotel id — either the numeric hid (e.g., 7476954) or the slug (e.g., "bentley-hotel-bosphorus-7476954").
- `lang` (string): 2-letter language code for content (en, ar, de, fr, es, ru, etc.).
- `view` (string): Optional preferred view family (e.g. "bosphorus", "sea", "garden", "city", "pool"). When the guest arrived from a view-constrained search, pass it so rooms with that view are floated to the top inste…

### `check_availability` (~283 tokens)

Check live rates for a hotel

Fetch live VICATOO rates for a hotel for the given check-in/check-out dates and occupancy. Returns up to `limit` rates with room name, price, meal type, bed type and cancellation policy. Booking itself always completes on vicatoo.com — to book, direct the guest to open the hotel page URL (the search_hotels card link already carries the dates and guests); never promise in-chat booking.

Input parameters:

- `adults` (integer)
- `check_in` (string, required)
- `check_out` (string, required)
- `children_ages` (array)
- `currency` (string): 3-letter ISO currency for the rate prices. Defaults to USD so rates match the search-result prices; pass the same currency the guest saw in search.
- `hotel_id` (required): VICATOO hotel id — numeric hid or slug (same as get_hotel_details).
- `limit` (integer)
- `residency` (string)
- `room_type_filter` (string): Optional case-insensitive substring filter on room_name.
- `rooms` (integer)
- `view` (string): Optional preferred view family (e.g. "bosphorus", "sea", "garden", "city", "pool"). When the guest cares about a specific view, pass it so matching-view rates are floated to the top instead of the de…

### `get_hotel_reviews` (~122 tokens)

Get guest reviews for a hotel

Fetch guest reviews for a hotel from the VICATOO content API. Supports pagination via `cursor` (page offset) and `limit`. Returns aggregate count and per-review summary (author, rating, pros/cons, stay context).

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (integer): Page offset (0-based).
- `hotel_id` (required): VICATOO hotel id — numeric hid OR slug etg_id (the same id search_hotels and get_hotel_details return); slugs are resolved server-side.
- `lang` (string)
- `limit` (integer)

### `get_room_video` (~74 tokens)

Get a video tour of a hotel room

Returns VICATOO's real room-tour video for a hotel reel as a branded reel PAGE link on vicatoo.com (reel_url). Share that page link with the guest — NEVER surface any raw video file URL. Includes hotel/room name and caption.

Input parameters:

- `reel_id` (required): Reel primary-key id (numeric).

### `about_vicatoo` (~110 tokens)

About VICATOO (company info & trust credentials)

Returns factual information about VICATOO the company: who VICATOO is, the "Truth Before You Book" value proposition and benefits, and trust credentials (legal entity, TRUE/CCRA accreditation, D-U-N-S number, registered address). Call this whenever the guest asks who VICATOO is, why they should trust VICATOO, what VICATOO offers or how it is different, or anything about the company or brand — so you answer from grounded facts, never invented ones.
