## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 81/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 5136 tokens (~128/item across 40 items; 16 tools + 24 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 16 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 18 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (16)

### `what_can_i_afford` (~474 tokens)

What can I afford

Works out a car budget from the monthly payment someone is comfortable with: the most that can be financed, the highest out-the-door price after the trade-in tax credit, that ceiling as dealers quote it (before the credit), and the vehicle price it leaves after the state's tax and typical fees. With a fair price from research, it also gives an opening offer and a walk line. Use it before shopping, when the starting point is a payment rather than a price. Numbers only; nothing is stored.

Optionally adds a trade-in (and the tax it saves where the state credits it), a down payment and a loan payment, and compares the doc fee with the state's cap and the total with a walk line. Use it for the total cost of a price; for a dealer's quote, use check_quote. Returns each line, the total and a planner link.

- `term_months` (integer, required): Lease term in months

### `refinance_check` (~147 tokens)

Use it before visiting dealers; check_quote compares a quote's trade allowance with these offers.

Input parameters:

Payoff plan

A payoff plan for a car loan, for paying it off early with an extra payment each month: the months and total interest at the regular payment, and with an extra amount toward principal each month (optionally for only the first so many months, or skipping some), with the months and interest the extra saves and the payoff month each way. Give the balance, the APR, and the months left or the regular payment. Lenders differ in how they apply extra payments, and some charge a prepayment penalty.

### `get_method` (~113 tokens)

Get the Before the Lot method

The Before the Lot method for buying a car: an overview and its seven stages, from setting the budget at home to signing. Each stage says what to collect, what it produces, which guides, tools and email templates apply, and when it's done. Use it to plan a purchase step by step or to see where a step fits; pass a stage id for that stage alone. Returns text with a link to the method's page.

Input parameters:

- `stage` (string): One stage id; leave out for the whole method

### `state_rules` (~118 tokens)

State rules for buying a car

A state's car-buying rules: the dealer doc-fee cap or rule, sales tax (state rate, local add-on range, any cap), whether a trade-in lowers the taxed price, how a maker's rebate is taxed, and cancellation rights where on file. Each comes with its source, as-of date and confidence, plus the link to the state's page. Use it for the rules themselves; for a price with a city's local tax, use out_the_door.

Input parameters:

- `state` (string, required): Two-letter state code, like PA

### `dealer_email` (~162 tokens)

Draft an email to a dealer or lender

Drafts an email to a dealer or lender from one of six Before the Lot templates: request an itemized out-the-door quote, make an offer, share a competing quote, confirm the deal, decline, or give a lender the deal's numbers. Returns a subject and body for the person to review and send from their own inbox; nothing is sent. Details are numbers and short labels; contact details are refused, and an offer over the walk line given isn't drafted.

Input parameters:

- `details` (object): What the email needs: the car, dealer, prices and loan terms. Leave out what does not apply
- `kind` (string, required): Which email: request-quote, make-offer, competing-quote, confirm-deal, decline, lender-deal

### `offers_page` (~142 tokens)

A maker's official offers page

The address of a car maker's own page of current offers (rebates, special APRs, lease deals), and of a model's page where one can be built, with whether the maker lists national offers at all and when the address was checked. Use it to point someone to the maker's official offers before comparing a rebate with a special APR (rebate_vs_apr). Returns links only, not the offers themselves, which change often and can vary by region.

Input parameters:

- `make` (string, required): The car maker, like Toyota or Ford
- `model` (string): Model, like Corolla Cross, for the model's own offers page where there is one

### `desk_script` (~181 tokens)

A line to say at the dealership

A short line a buyer can say at a moment in the dealership's sales or finance office, such as being asked for a monthly payment, a credit check before a price, or a pitch for an add-on, with when it applies and why it works. Use it when someone describes what's happening at the desk. Pass a script id (monthly-payment, trade-first, down-payment, credit-check, numbers-changed, preinstalled-add-ons, initial-worksheet, decide-today, beat-my-rate, fi-product, only-a-month, paint-or-markup, below-invoice, trade-below-offer, leaving) or a short description; returns the one or two lines that fit, or the list of situations on file when none does.

Input parameters:

- `situation` (string, required): A script id or a short description, like "they keep asking my monthly payment"

### `plan_link` (~102 tokens)

A link to continue in the planner

Builds a link to the free Before the Lot planner that opens with the numbers given already filled in, so the person can carry on in the web planner with their trade-in, loan, budget and quotes. Use it after working out numbers in the chat. The plan travels in the link itself, so nothing is stored. Numbers and short labels only; names, phone numbers and emails are refused.

Input parameters:

- `plan` (object, required): The parts of the plan to fill in
