## 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 2026-09-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 74/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 33/100
  - Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 83/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 40% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **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.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `compress_agent_context` (~117 tokens)

Context formatting review

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.

Input parameters:

- `raw_conversation_history` (string, required): Caller-supplied text; do not submit secrets or private tenant data.

### `route_model_intent` (~115 tokens)

Intent classification review

Classify text with a bounded keyword heuristic for human review. Does not execute a model, select a verified cheapest model or prove routing savings. 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.

Input parameters:

- `intent_payload` (string, required): Caller-supplied text; do not submit secrets or private tenant data.

### `authorize_agent_spend` (~133 tokens)

Advisory spending check

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.

Input parameters:

- `currency` (string, required)
- `history` (object, required)
- `policy` (object, required)
- `proposed_cost` (string, required)

### `reconcile_api_ledger` (~116 tokens)

Submitted billing reconciliation

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.

Input parameters:

- `billing_records` (array, required)
- `usage_records` (array, required)

### `get_utility_example` (~86 tokens)

Get utility example

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.

Input parameters:

- `service` (string, required): Service whose fixed example or current terms to inspect.

### `get_utility_service_status` (~88 tokens)

Get utility readiness and terms

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.

Input parameters:

- `service` (string, required): Service whose fixed example or current terms to inspect.
