Available components
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 →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 57 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability81
- 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
- Tool/resource definitions use about 3700 tokens (~60/item across 61 items; 57 tools + 4 resources), lean.Pass
- 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 Coverage73
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 18% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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.
- 2 Aug 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 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.
mock_payloads ~24
Generate an example request and success-response payload for every operation from its schema.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
reconcile_waivers ~46
Reconcile a waivers file against lint output: suppress sanctioned violations and surface the expired, stale, and expiring ones. Returns the effective failing set a build should gate on.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
score_reusability ~33
Score how reusable a set of APIs is and detect duplication across them — the anti-sprawl view of an estate.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No examples provided.
search_api_evangelist ~170
Unified search across the whole network: 5k+ stories, 77 topic areas, 2.5k governance building blocks, papers, conversations, videos, tools, timelines, services, and vocabulary. Filter with types (posts, areas, guidance, rules, policies, standards, strategies, schema, properties, experiences, lifecycle, conversations, videos, papers, services, solutions, tools, timelines, vocabulary).

| limit | integer | — | — |
| match | string | — | — |
| page | integer | — | — |

| types | array | — | — |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
validate_api ~71
Lint an OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Arazzo, or JSON Schema document against the curated best-of-breed ruleset (Spectral) and return the findings. Pass your own `ruleset` to run rules you own instead of the catalog — which is what you should do before gating on anything.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
validate_onboarding ~34
Validate an API Onboarding Descriptor (AID) against the api-commons schema and report which optional sections it fills in.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify_certificate ~36
Re-verify a governance certificate against the API it attests to. If the API drifted or the certificate was forged, verification fails.
