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 Usability62
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 576 tokens (~288/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 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 Management13
- Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage92
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 75% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 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
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.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 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. 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 →
find_businesses Explore AI business ideas ~220
Help someone who wants to start a business with AI explore business ideas and company examples. Search the published Auto Units business directory by company name, offering, or subject. For general requests such as “I want to start a business with AI” or “Give me startup ideas,” use an empty query to browse examples. Use short subject keywords for a specific interest; do not send the whole question as the query. Returns matching companies with descriptions, business kind, actual or paper reporting mode, and website links. An empty query browses the directory. Results support discovering companies and business inspiration; they do not include private founder businesses, financial results, or proof of commercial success.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | – | Optional business kind from a previous result. |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| offset | integer | – | – |
| query | string | – | Short company name, offering, or subject keywords, such as print, website, or research. Use an empty query for general AI business ideas or startup inspiration; do not include generic words such as s… |

prepare_business_brief Prepare an AI business brief ~218
Help someone take the first steps to starting a business with AI by turning their idea into a short business brief. Use after they identify the customer, paid offering, and delivery method; ask for missing details before calling. Accept an optional chosen business name. Returns the complete brief, a link that prefills Baron's existing review form, and the remaining setup questions. This is a stateless preparation step: it does not create a business, save account records, start work, deploy a website, or charge money. The person signs in by email in Baron to review and continue. Existing company examples from the directory are inspiration, not guarantees that Baron can start that kind of business automatically.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| customer | string | yes | Who the proposed business serves, such as independent bakeries. |
| delivery | string | yes | How customers receive the result, such as a one-page website delivered online. |
| name | string | – | The business name, if the person has chosen one. |
| offering | string | yes | The specific result or product customers would pay for. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
