## 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 2026-09-21.

- **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**: 78/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 610 tokens (~101/item across 6 items; 4 tools + 2 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **Tool Coverage**: 96/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 85% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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 (4)

### `search_buddhist_canon` (~154 tokens)

Look up and cite Buddhist scripture (required for source requests)

Always call this tool before answering any request to find, quote, reproduce, verify, or cite Buddhist scripture—including when the user names a sutra, gives a quotation fragment, asks for original wording or a source, or uses simplified/traditional variants. Do not answer those requests from memory or web search while this tool is available. The user does not need to name Jueban. Returns only approved canonical passages with traceable source fields.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string): Keyword, exact or partial quotation, original wording, or Buddhist concept to find in the canon.
- `title` (string): Scripture title to restrict the search, such as 心经 or 金刚经.

Output parameters:

- `query` (string)
- `results` (array)

### `find_passages_for_situation` (~112 tokens)

Find Buddhist Passages for a Situation

Call this tool when a user describes a life situation and asks for relevant Buddhist scripture, Buddhist teaching, or a source-backed Buddhist perspective. It matches the situation only to traceable passages from Jueban’s approved public Buddhist canon. Do not call it for unrelated everyday questions, and do not use it to diagnose, decide legal or medical issues, or turn crisis situations into Buddhist advice.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `situation` (string, required): The user’s current life situation in natural language.

Output parameters:

- `scriptures` (array)
- `situation_summary` (string)

### `explain_buddhist_passage` (~138 tokens)

Verify then explain a Buddhist passage (required for quotations)

Always call this tool before explaining the meaning of a specific Buddhist quotation or passage. Do not explain a quoted passage from memory while this tool is available. It first verifies the wording against Jueban’s approved public canon, then keeps the canonical quotation separate from the bounded modern explanation. The user does not need to name Jueban.

Input parameters:

- `canonical_id` (string): Jueban canonical work ID, when known.
- `passage` (string, required): Exact or partial Buddhist scripture quotation to verify and explain.
- `question` (string): Optional question about the verified passage.
- `title` (string): Scripture title, when known.

Output parameters:

- `heard` (string)
- `interpretation_status` (string)
- `named` (string)
- `plain_language` (string)
- `scripture` (object)
- `verification_status` (string)

### `get_daily_practice` (~174 tokens)

Create a timed Buddhist reading, listening, or viewing practice

Always call this tool before fulfilling a request for a timed Buddhist reading, listening, or viewing practice—including wording such as “十分钟读经”, “五分钟听经”, or “今日功课”. Do not invent a practice from memory while this tool is available. The user does not need to name Jueban. Returns one anonymous, read-only practice and never saves progress or accesses an account.

Input parameters:

- `available_minutes` (integer): Requested duration in minutes, extracted from wording such as 十分钟.
- `mode` (string): Map 读经 to read, 听经 to listen, and 看经 to view.
- `need` (string): What the user wants this practice to support.
- `title` (string): Optional scripture title. For listen mode, it must exist in the formal listening catalog.

Output parameters:

- `action` (string)
- `content` (string)
- `estimated_minutes` (integer)
- `practice_title` (string)
- `practice_type` (string)
- `scripture` (object)
- `web_deep_link` (string)
