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 Security83
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability79
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 6121 tokens (~105/item across 58 items; 55 tools + 3 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage80
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 39% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 4 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_bundle_id" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 56 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
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.
- 5 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
update_version_localization ~155
Update the current app store version's description, keywords, promotional text, what's new, support URL, or marketing URL for one localization (PATCH app store version localization). Use for App Store listing copy tied to a specific version, not app-level info (see update_app_info_localization).

upload_build ~144
Upload a .ipa to App Store Connect via Transporter on the replay host. For CI/Expo-built apps, upload the .ipa through Expo or your CI pipeline directly and skip this tool — it exists only for builds that must be uploaded from the replay host itself. Supply ipa_url (https) or the host-local ipa_path.

No examples provided.
upload_screenshot ~187
Upload one App Store screenshot into a single carousel slot via the screenshot bytes (screenshot_image_base64) or a URL to fetch them from (screenshot_image_url). Call once per slide (default size APP_IPHONE_65 / 6.5″); screenshot_file_path only works when the file already exists on the replay host's filesystem.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| localization_id | string | – | – |
| notification_message | string | – | Short user-facing sentence for this action if the follow-up reply fails. Plain text only; do not mention template syntax or variable names. |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
upload_screenshots ~182
Upload one App Store screenshot for a single iPhone display size from a master image that this tool auto-resizes. Pass screenshot_image_base64 or screenshot_image_url when the image bytes or a fetchable URL are available; use screenshot_display_types to pick exactly one display size per call, and call again for additional sizes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| notification_message | string | – | Short user-facing sentence for this action if the follow-up reply fails. Plain text only; do not mention template syntax or variable names. |
