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 → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- 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 Usability74
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 721 tokens (~120/item across 6 items; 6 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 Management33
- Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage83
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 40% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Ardaro Agent Runtime Utilities MCP server?
Ardaro Agent Runtime Utilities is a hosted endpoint at https://agents.getardaro.com/mcp/utilities, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
authorize_agent_spend Advisory spending check ~133
Compare a proposed downstream cost with caller-supplied limits and history. Advisory only: does not authenticate policy, reserve funds, issue authorization or block external API calls. Evaluation excludes this service fee. Paid: 0.10 USDC per accepted analysis, including an unfavorable advisory result. Check get_utility_service_status with service='authorize_agent_spend' and the free fixed example first. Owner-authorized x402 payment is required; tool discovery does not authorize spending.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| currency | string | yes | – |
| history | object | yes | – |
| policy | object | yes | – |
| proposed_cost | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
compress_agent_context Context formatting review ~117
Return a blank-line compaction candidate for human review. Preserves words and role headers. No verified token savings, semantic equivalence or speed improvement. Paid: 0.05 USDC per accepted analysis, including an unfavorable advisory result. Check get_utility_service_status with service='compress_agent_context' and the free fixed example first. Owner-authorized x402 payment is required; tool discovery does not authorize spending.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| raw_conversation_history | string | yes | Caller-supplied text; do not submit secrets or private tenant data. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
get_utility_example Get utility example ~86
Inspect a fixed synthetic request and expected result before integrating or paying. Select service from the enum; no caller document is accepted, processed or stored. Returns service and details containing that service's example. Free; no wallet authorization. Use get_utility_service_status for current readiness, prices and retention instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| service | string | yes | Service whose fixed example or current terms to inspect. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
get_utility_service_status Get utility readiness and terms ~88
Check the selected service's current runtime readiness, input limits, pricing and retention before use. Returns service and details; ready=false means the underlying service is unavailable. Free cached runtime read; no external probe, payment, analysis or historical document retrieval. Use get_utility_example for a fixed integration sample instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| service | string | yes | Service whose fixed example or current terms to inspect. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
reconcile_api_ledger Submitted billing reconciliation ~116
Compare supplied billing and usage records by request ID, exact amount and currency. Flags missing or mismatched records. Does not authenticate telemetry, verify delivery or post to accounting. Paid: 0.25 USDC per accepted analysis, including an unfavorable advisory result. Check get_utility_service_status with service='reconcile_api_ledger' and the free fixed example first. Owner-authorized x402 payment is required; tool discovery does not authorize spending.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

Paid: 0.15 USDC per accepted analysis, including an unfavorable advisory result. Check get_utility_service_status with service='route_model_intent' and the free fixed example first. Owner-authorized x402 payment is required; tool discovery does not authorize spending.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
