  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 596 tokens (~298/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).

  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 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.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (2)

### `thicken_profiles` (~74 tokens)

The kinds of object thicken makes

Lists thicken's profiles: each kind of object it can make into a 3D model at its real size, what it is made from, what it makes, and what the vision models read off it. Call it to choose a profile for thicken_make, or to tell the user what thicken can make.

### `thicken_make` (~522 tokens)

Make a 3D model with thicken

Turns photos of one real object (or artwork, or words, or a book's ISBN) into two files that belong together: a GLB model at the object's real size, in millimeters, and its metadata as JSON, read off it by vision models and looked up in public catalogs (thicken_profiles lists each kind of object and the metadata it records). Writes both files and returns their paths and the main facts. Photos need not be cropped when a vision roster is set up (THICKEN_VISION_URL, THICKEN_VISION_MODELS); without one, give straight-on photos cropped to the object, and name the profile. One object a call: for several, call once each.

Input parameters:

- `depth_mm` (number): A badge's or lettering's thickness in millimeters
- `holder` (string): A graded slab's holder: psa, psa-thick, psa-tall, bgs, cgc, cgc-tall, sgc or tag
- `inputs` (array): Absolute paths of the photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, SVG), scanner PDFs or videos (MOV, MP4) of one object, in any order and named anything. For the lettering profile, the words inst…
- `isbn` (string): A book's ISBN, 10 or 13 digits: its size and catalog record are looked up
- `out` (string): Where to write the GLB (an absolute path ending in .glb); the sidecar goes beside it as .json, never over a .json that isn't a thicken sidecar. Default: beside the first picture, named after it
- `preview` (boolean): Also draw <name>.preview.png, both sides of the model (needs Chrome or Edge installed)
- `profile` (string): The kind of object, if known; else thicken works it out from a code on it (an ISBN barcode, a grader's QR code) or the vision models. thicken_profiles lists them
- `pt` (number): A thick trading card's thickness in points (thousandths of an inch: 55, 75, 100, 130, 180)
- `size_mm` (object): The object's real size in millimeters, any part of it, where measured: it outranks every lookup and estimate
- `width_mm` (number): A badge's or lettering's width in millimeters
