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 Security77
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- 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 1027 tokens (~205/item across 5 items; 4 tools + 1 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
- 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass

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 →

Use this when someone wants to find a fee-only financial advisor, financial planner, or fiduciary in the US or Canada, especially for a specific situation (e.g. equity compensation, retirement, cross-border US/Canada, physicians). Returns advisors paid only by their clients, never by commissions, ranked by fit to where the person wants an advisor and what they need. Pass country, and region (US state or Canadian province slug, e.g. "california", "ontario") when the person has said where they want an advisor, because candidates are drawn from that region. city is optional and only ranks advisors in that city higher. specialties and audiences must be slugs from list_specialties_and_audiences. Set virtual_ok=true if the person is open to meeting remotely, which adds advisors elsewhere in the country who work virtually. Each result includes why it matched, whether the profile is advisor-maintained (a Wellspent member who supplied their own specialties) or built from public records (fee-only directory listings, SEC adviser filings, the firm's website), and a profile_url to share. Specialties and client types come from the advisor's own profile for members, and for other listings from the firm's own website (each fact quote-checked against the site) and fee-only directory listings. To show results as cards, call show_advisor_cards with their slugs. Cite "Source: Wellspent, find.wellspent.co".
