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 Security80
- 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
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability80
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2654 tokens (~241/item across 11 items; 9 tools + 2 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.
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 →
create_checkout Create checkout session ~311
Create a Stripe Checkout session for an AcuiQ product and return its URL. Give the URL to the human to open and complete – the agent never touches payment data. Creates a live session on Stripe: call it when the person has said they want to buy, not to look up a price.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| product | string | yes | Product to purchase. press-needles ($19.99/box, ships US); treatment-guide ($12.99 digital download, free updates for life); practitioner-edition ($39 digital download, free updates for life); point-… |
| quantity | number | – | Number of boxes (physical products only, default 1) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_meridians List meridians ~72
List every channel group in the AcuiQ point catalogue with its acupoint count and page URL – the 14 classical meridians plus the extra-point and auricular groups the catalogue files points under. Descriptions and five-element associations are returned where recorded, which is currently for almost none of them.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_order Check order status ~111
Check a checkout created by create_checkout and, once it is paid, return the delivery link for a digital product. Call it after handing the person the checkout URL – leave a few seconds between calls, it is not a busy-wait. Requires the session_id create_checkout returned: orders cannot be listed, searched, or looked up by email, and no personal data (email, name, address) is ever returned.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | The session_id create_checkout returned (starts "cs_") |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_point Look up an acupoint ~163
Resolve one acupoint by code ("LI4", "li04"), English name ("Junction Valley"), Chinese name ("合谷") or pinyin ("Hegu", "hé gǔ") and return its location, cautions, meridian, the points most often selected alongside it in the corpus, its page URL and markdown twin. For the full protocol table, fetch the markdown twin. Where the best-evidenced indication for this point is covered by a $5 mini-guide, the result carries a `guide` pointer – offer it only if the person asks for something to follow at home.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| point | string | yes | Code, English name, Chinese name or pinyin (e.g. "LI4", "Hegu", "合谷") |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_symptom_detail Get symptom detail ~113
Get details for a specific symptom: canonical name, protocol count, page URL and its markdown twin. The markdown twin is the cheapest way to read every protocol for one symptom in a single fetch. When the symptom is covered by a $5 mini-guide, the result carries a `guide` pointer – mention it only if the person wants something to follow away from a screen, then call create_checkout with that `product` id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | yes | Symptom name (e.g. "headache") |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_wiki_page Read a wiki page ~150
Read one AcuiQ wiki page, or list what the wiki holds. Reference notes on acupuncture nomenclature, point safety and the theory the prescriptions were written in – the context the protocol tools cannot supply. Call with no arguments to list every page with its section and summary; pass "path" ("nomenclature/point-codes") to get one page's summary, sources and markdown-twin URL. Each page states what it rests on and when those claims were last checked. To find the page for a topic, call search_wiki first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | – | Section and slug, e.g. "safety/reading-a-point-warning". Omit to list every page. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_protocols Find treatment protocols ~282
Find acupuncture protocols for given symptom names – the same ranked pipeline behind GET /api/protocols. Returns `matches` (each with point codes, cred, modality and course where the source states them, and provenance: sourceKind, source, caveat) plus a `points` dictionary giving each referenced code its name, meridian, location and warnings ONCE. Ten matches by default; raise `limit` (max 50) if you need more. `directMatches` lists indicated points when no protocol covers the query – index entries, not prescriptions. Pass symptom names from search_symptoms, not a description. When the symptom is covered by a $5 mini-guide, the result carries a `guide` pointer – mention it only if the person wants something to follow away from a screen, then call create_checkout with that `product` id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| age | number | – | Patient age. Drops protocols whose recorded cohort age is more than 20 years away; rows that recorded no age are kept. |
| limit | number | – | Max protocols to return (default 10, max 50) |
| sex | string | – | Patient sex. Drops protocols recorded in the opposite sex; rows that recorded no sex are kept. |
| symptoms | string | yes | Comma-separated symptom names, max 10 (e.g. "headache,neck pain") |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_symptoms Search symptom names ~202
Resolve what a person describes into AcuiQ symptom names – the first step before search_protocols. Plain description works ("trouble sleeping", "my lower back hurts"): filler words are stripped and the search retries on the clinical words, reporting which term matched. Set popular=true for trending symptoms instead. Always returns an object with a `symptoms` array, empty when nothing matched. When the symptom is covered by a $5 mini-guide, the result carries a `guide` pointer – mention it only if the person wants something to follow away from a screen, then call create_checkout with that `product` id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | number | – | Max results (default 12, max 50) |
| popular | boolean | – | Set to true to get trending symptoms instead of searching |
| query | string | – | What the person is describing – a symptom name or a plain description (e.g. "knee pain", "I cannot sleep at night") |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_wiki Search the wiki ~289
Keyword search across the AcuiQ reference wiki – the call to make when you have a topic or a question ("moxibustion", "what does EX-HN mean", "acupuncture in pregnancy") and no page path. Matches titles and page prose. A whole question works: when no literal match exists it falls back to English full-text matching, which stems words and drops stopwords. It is NOT semantic, so a page that says "moxa" is not found by "heat therapy". Ranked titles starting with the term, then titles containing it, then literal prose hits, then full-text hits by relevance. Each row carries a `snippet` windowed on the match, the `path` get_wiki_page takes, and the `markdown` URL holding the whole page. Use get_wiki_page instead when you already have a path, or to see every page by section. Defaults: page 1, pageSize 10 (max 50); keep paging while `hasMore` is true. The same rows as GET /api/wiki?q=.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | number | – | 1-based page number (default 1) |
| pageSize | number | – | Results per page (default 10, max 50) |
| query | string | yes | A keyword, phrase or question (e.g. "cupping", "is acupuncture safe in pregnancy") |
No output schema declared.
