Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 Security63

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 6 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
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 Usability85

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
Tool/resource definitions use about 929 tokens (~92/item across 10 items; 6 tools + 4 resources), lean.Pass
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 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

Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

Changelog

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 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

MCP tools — 6 exposed · ~688 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens

get_article ~132

Fetch one BedrockNews story by id. Returns the transformed article plus its full structured analysis (GRIN scores, extraction graph, key stats, trajectory, what-to-watch). Pass fields:'grin' to get just the analysis payload without the heavy body text. Story ids contain slashes (e.g. 'ledger/2026/apr/06/iran-war-math-doesnt-work') — pass them verbatim.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
fields	string	—	Optional projection: 'grin' for the analysis-only view
id	string	yes	The story id, verbatim (ids contain slashes)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_extraction_graph ~93

Return a story's extraction map as a real graph — nodes + edges data, not a picture. This is the load-bearing artifact for agents: re-render it in any style, or analyze who extracts value from whom. 'Not found' can mean the story has no graph (culture/research modes, or older transforms).

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
id	string	yes	The story id, verbatim (ids contain slashes)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_related ~66

Related BedrockNews stories for a given article — same section, ranked by editorial-mode match, plumb, source affinity, and recency.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
id	string	yes	The source story id
limit	number	—	Max related stories (default 4, max 12)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_site_info ~64

BedrockNews metadata: what the site is, how the GRIN/CLAIMS/NOVEL frameworks work, terms of use + attribution, and every machine-readable surface. Also returns the full capability map (every tool, prompt, and resource) — call this first.

Input Output Examples

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_categories ~45

The BedrockNews category taxonomy: ids (valid values for list_stories' category filter), display names, and which editorial framework each category runs (grin | culture | auto).

Input Output Examples

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_stories ~288

Discover BedrockNews stories with GRIN-aware filters. Filter by verdict ('extractive' | 'mixed' | 'generative'), plumb range (0-100 analytical-clarity score), editorialMode ('grin' news/politics | 'culture' | 'research' | 'ledger'), category (see list_categories), date window (since/before, ISO 8601), or a title search (substring match on titles, not full text). Sorted newest first; paginated via cursor. Returns compact story briefs — use get_article for full analysis.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
before	string	—	Only stories published before this ISO 8601 date
category	string	—	Category id filter (e.g. 'politics', 'research')
cursor	string	—	Opaque pagination cursor from a previous call
editorialMode	string	—	Filter to one editorial framework
limit	number	—	Max results (default 15, max 50)
plumbMax	number	—	Maximum plumb (0-100)
plumbMin	number	—	Minimum plumb (0-100)
query	string	—	Optional title search (substring match)
since	string	—	Only stories published at/after this ISO 8601 date
verdict	string	—	GRIN verdict filter, derived from grinScores.extractive

No output schema declared.
