How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security50
  • Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 1 of 25 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability87
  • 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
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 471 tokens (~94/item across 5 items; 4 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
  • Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

MCP tools · 4 exposed · ~378 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 →

Tool Tokens
check_broken_links ~138

Scans a single URL or entire site/sitemap for broken links. Returns a structured report with every broken link found, its HTTP status code, the page it was discovered on, link type (affiliate/external/internal), SEO impact rating, and estimated revenue loss. Agents can pass the output directly to get_fix_suggestions for remediation steps.

NameTypeReqDescription
max_depthintegerHow many levels deep to crawl from the start URL. Default 3.
sitemap_urlOptional sitemap URL to crawl instead of discovering pages by depth.
urlstringyesThe website URL to scan (e.g. "https://example.com").

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_fix_suggestions ~95

Given a broken links report, returns prioritized remediation suggestions. Each suggestion includes the broken URL, a recommended action (update link, follow redirect, remove, etc.), a human-readable explanation, and a code snippet where applicable. Accepts either the full JSON report from check_broken_links or just the broken_links array.

NameTypeReqDescription
broken_links_reportyesThe scan report (JSON string or dict) from check_broken_links.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

health_check ~46

Confirms the LinkRescue MCP server is alive and can reach the backend API. Use this to verify connectivity before running scans. Returns server status, API reachability, and current configuration.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

monitor_links ~99

Sets up ongoing broken-link monitoring for a website. The monitor runs on a schedule (default: every 24 hours) and will detect new broken links, links that were fixed, and changes in site health score. Returns a monitoring_id you can reference later to check status or cancel.

NameTypeReqDescription
frequency_hoursintegerHow often to re-scan, in hours. Default 24.
urlstringyesThe website URL to monitor.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.
