  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2083 tokens (~138/item across 15 items; 15 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "get_pay" implies "pay" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does. See how to fix → Fail

MCP tools · 15 exposed · ~1,516 tokens

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 →

Give a query, a filter, or both. Each record has its source citation. Sources: ppa = Provincial contract award; fed_contract = Federal contract; fed_grant = Federal grant or contribution; canadabuys = Federal award notice; pa_pss = Federal professional services payment; pa_tp = Federal transfer payment; sunshine = Public sector pay over $100,000; minister = Minister's expense claim; mha = MHA expense.

Is the NL Ledger MCP server safe to use?

NL Ledger scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the NL Ledger MCP server expose?

NL Ledger exposes 15 tools: get_pay, get_body, tax_receipt, get_totals, search_records, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,516 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the NL Ledger MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to NL Ledger without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the NL Ledger MCP server still maintained?

NL Ledger is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
