## 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**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 998 tokens (~249/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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 (4)

### `search_tours` (~246 tokens)

Search American Ghost Walks tours

Find American Ghost Walks ghost and history walking tours by city, optionally with a date range and party size. Returns tour ids, names, descriptions, duration, meeting spot and price, plus open departures when dates are given. Call with no city to list every city and tour. Use a tour id from the results with the other tools.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): City or area name to filter tours. Examples: 'Chicago', 'Old San Juan', 'Viejo San Juan', 'Twin Cities', 'LA', 'Saint Paul'. Omit this field entirely to list every city and tour (do not pass an empty…
- `end_date` (string): Last local calendar date to check, as YYYY-MM-DD. Must be on or after start_date and at most 14 days after it. Defaults to start_date when omitted.
- `party_size` (integer): Number of guests (integer 1-50). When set with dates, departures that cannot fit this party are omitted.
- `start_date` (string): First local calendar date to check for open departures, as YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. '2026-11-08'). Requires city.

### `get_availability` (~187 tokens)

Check tour availability

Open departure times and booking status for one tour on one date, from the American Ghost Walks booking system. Times are local to the tour. Check this before telling a guest a time is open; if it says availability is unknown or lists no times, send the guest to the booking link instead of guessing.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string, required): Single local calendar date to check, as YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. '2026-11-08'). Must be today or a future date in the tour's time zone.
- `party_size` (integer): Optional number of guests (integer 1-50). When set, only departures that can fit this party are listed as open.
- `tour` (string, required): Tour identifier from search_tours.tour_id (preferred slug, e.g. 'madison-ghost-walks-capitol-square'), or the exact tour name.

### `get_booking_link` (~190 tokens)

Get booking link

Returns the official American Ghost Walks booking link for a tour, plus what to pick on its calendar. The guest chooses the date, time and tickets and pays on that page; this tool does not reserve or charge anything. Share the returned URL exactly as given.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string, required): Local calendar date the guest should pick on the booking page, as YYYY-MM-DD.
- `party_size` (integer): Optional number of guests (integer 1-50) to mention in the booking instructions.
- `time` (string): Optional departure time in 24-hour HH:MM from get_availability (e.g. '19:30'). Do not pass '7:30 pm'; convert to HH:MM first.
- `tour` (string, required): Tour identifier from search_tours.tour_id (preferred slug, e.g. 'chicago-ghost-tour'), or the exact tour name.

### `get_tour_details` (~126 tokens)

Get tour details

Full details for one tour: description, stops, meeting spot with map link, duration, difficulty, FAQ, important info, cancellation/weather/age/pet policies and rating. Use for questions like 'how much walking is it?', 'can kids come?' or 'where do we meet?'. Answer only from what this returns; if it doesn't cover a question, give the phone number.

Input parameters:

- `tour` (string, required): Tour identifier from search_tours.tour_id (preferred slug, e.g. 'old-san-juan-ghost-walk'), or the exact tour name.
