Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 393 tokens (~131/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management7
- Stability observed for 2 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the AI Deals Sentinel MCP server?
AI Deals Sentinel is a hosted endpoint at https://ai-deals.rockpool.cc/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 29 Sept 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.
- 28 Sept 26 0

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

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 →
check_api_health ~121
The last measured liveness of free, no-key public data APIs: HTTP status and latency from one read-only GET per API, with the generated_at of that measurement. status SLOW means the API timed out at 10s and answered a 45s re-probe (works, not fast); DOWN means no answer within 45s. Note counts.measured excludes SKIP rows, which were never called — use it as the health denominator, not counts.total.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| api | string | – | Substring match on API name; omit for all |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_free_inference ~133
Find free tiers, trial credits and discounts on AI APIs an agent can use. Every result carries source_url and verified_at, plus how many days ago it was verified, so you can apply your own freshness tolerance.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_usable_only | boolean | – | Only offers an agent can consume via API once a human clears the signup. Defaults to true. |
| capability | string | – | Filter by category, e.g. inference, gpu, search, embeddings, vector-db, speech-vision, eval-observability, compute-sandbox |
| provider | string | – | Substring match on provider or offer name |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_offer ~52
Full detail for one provider's offer, including caveats, access barrier, source_url and verified_at. On no match returns nearest candidates rather than an empty result.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
