## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 456 tokens (~152/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 33/100
  - Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_texts` (~168 tokens)

Search Xianmi Buddhist Library

Full-text search over Xianmi Library (显密文库, xianmi.co): ~250k pages of Chinese Buddhist texts (sutras, commentaries, Theravada/Tibetan/Chinese traditions, modern translations). Returns ranked page titles, URLs and snippets. Use get_passage with a returned path to fetch full text. Attribution required: see the license pointer included in every response.

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Language edition: zh-Hans = Simplified Chinese (default), zh-Hant = Traditional Chinese
- `page` (integer): Result page number, 10 per page (default 1, max 1000)
- `query` (string, required): Search keywords (Chinese or English), e.g. "金刚经" or "四圣谛"

### `get_passage` (~125 tokens)

Get full text of a Xianmi Library page

Fetch the complete Markdown source of one Xianmi Library (xianmi.co) article by its path (e.g. "p01/a/109/764", as returned by search_texts). Includes the source URL and license pointer. Attribution required: see the license pointer included in every response.

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Language edition: zh-Hans = Simplified Chinese (default), zh-Hant = Traditional Chinese
- `path` (string, required): Article path, e.g. "p01/a/109/764" (a full page URL also works)
