Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 →

Supply Chain Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 838 tokens (~139/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 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
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 6 exposed · ~838 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.

Tool Tokens
calculate_repair_or_replace ~234

Run the standard repair-or-replace decision math for a home appliance. Returns a recommendation based on: cumulative repair cost vs. replacement cost, age vs. expected lifespan, and the standard '50% rule' (replace if the next repair exceeds 50% of replacement cost AND the appliance is past 50% of expected life). Use this when a user is weighing whether to fix or replace an appliance.

NameTypeReqDescription
age_yearsnumberyesCurrent age of the appliance in years.
appliance_typestringyesAppliance type. Supported values: refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer, oven, range, microwave, garbage_disposal, hvac, furnace, ac_central, water_heater_tank, water_heater_tankless, dehu…
cumulative_repair_cost_usdnumberTotal amount spent on past repairs for this appliance (USD).
proposed_repair_cost_usdnumberyesCost of the proposed next repair (USD).
replacement_cost_usdnumberyesCost to buy a new equivalent appliance (USD).

Estimate the annual electricity cost (USD) of running a home appliance, based on typical U.S. consumption data. Returns a low/average/high range. Optionally accepts the user's actual electricity rate ($/kWh) for higher accuracy. Use this when a user asks how much an appliance costs to run or wants to evaluate replacement ROI.

NameTypeReqDescription
appliance_typestringyesAppliance type. Supported values: refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer, oven, range, microwave, hvac, furnace, ac_central, water_heater_tank, water_heater_tankless, dehumidifier.
