## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (delete_image).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 622 tokens (~155/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**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 91/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 73% 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.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `upload_image` (~172 tokens)

Upload image

Upload an image to BasePic and get links: page_url (short link to share), image_url (direct image) and download_url. Give either a public "url" (an image, or a post on X/Instagram/Facebook) or "image_base64". Returns an id for edit_image and a delete_key. Images up to 50 MB. The image is private: only people with the link can see it.

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string): Optional file name, e.g. "beach.jpg"
- `image_base64` (string): The image as base64 (a data: URL works too)
- `return_preview` (boolean): Also return a small preview of the image so you can look at it (default false)
- `url` (string): Public https link to the image

### `edit_image` (~228 tokens)

Edit image

Edit an uploaded image: rotate, flip, crop (pixels or aspect ratio), resize (width/height, percent, megapixels), grayscale (black & white), sepia, brightness, contrast, warm, cool, invert, blur, sharpen — applied in order. Optionally change the format (jpeg/png/webp) or make the file at most max_kb kilobytes. Creates a NEW image with its own page_url, image_url and download_url; the original stays unchanged.

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string)
- `format` (string)
- `id` (string, required): Image id returned by upload_image or edit_image (e.g. "vqSvesFU")
- `max_kb` (integer): Largest file size in KB (jpeg/webp)
- `operations` (array): Example: [{"op":"rotate","degrees":90},{"op":"resize","width":1080},{"op":"grayscale"}]
- `quality` (integer)
- `return_preview` (boolean): Also return a small preview of the image so you can look at it (default false)

### `get_image` (~80 tokens)

Get image

Get the links and details (size, dimensions, type) of an image on BasePic by its id.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Image id returned by upload_image or edit_image (e.g. "vqSvesFU")
- `return_preview` (boolean): Also return a small preview of the image so you can look at it (default false)

### `delete_image` (~68 tokens)

Delete image

Delete an image from BasePic. Needs the delete_key returned when it was uploaded or created by edit_image. Its links stop working.

Input parameters:

- `delete_key` (string, required)
- `id` (string, required): Image id returned by upload_image or edit_image (e.g. "vqSvesFU")
