## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - 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**: 85/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 929 tokens (~92/item across 10 items; 6 tools + 4 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 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.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-02 (score 67, +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.

### 2026-07-31 (score 66, +1)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-07-30 (score 65)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `list_stories` (~288 tokens)

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 parameters:

- `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

### `get_article` (~132 tokens)

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 parameters:

- `fields` (string): Optional projection: 'grin' for the analysis-only view
- `id` (string, required): The story id, verbatim (ids contain slashes)

### `get_extraction_graph` (~93 tokens)

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 parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The story id, verbatim (ids contain slashes)

### `get_related` (~66 tokens)

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

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The source story id
- `limit` (number): Max related stories (default 4, max 12)

### `list_categories` (~45 tokens)

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

### `get_site_info` (~64 tokens)

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.
