## 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 7 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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 757 tokens (~108/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; 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 66, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-07-31 (score 65, +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 64, 0)

### 2026-07-29 (score 64, +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.

### 2026-07-26 (score 62)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `get_descriptor` (~44 tokens)

Return the Knox MCP server self-description: operator, USPTO patent reference, jurisdiction, available tools, and links to the public AAM (Agent Audit and Management) documentation surface.

### `get_chain_health` (~64 tokens)

Return Knox service health: process uptime, database latency, total anchors written, latest anchor timestamp, and the Bitcoin anchor SLA target (OpenTimestamps interval, 1-6 hour confirmation window). Mirrors the public /api/knox/health endpoint under the MCP envelope.

### `list_event_types` (~42 tokens)

Return the canonical Knox event-type taxonomy. Each event type is a citation token for federal-grade audit; the registry expands monotonically and is itself anchored on every expansion.

### `verify_anchor` (~69 tokens)

Given a SHA-256 anchor hash (64 hex chars), return the anchor record, chain link validity (predecessor present and matched), event type, sequence number, and verify URL. Public — no authentication required.

Input parameters:

- `hash` (string, required): SHA-256 anchor hash (64 lowercase hex chars).

### `anchor_event` (~145 tokens)

Anchor a generic agent action to the Knox chain. Accepts any event_type from the canonical taxonomy plus a payload object. Returns the anchor sequence, payload hash, predecessor hash, timestamp, and verify URL. Requires a Knox Bearer API key on the Authorization header — unauthenticated calls are rejected. Provision a key by contacting Bonis Systems.

Input parameters:

- `event_type` (string, required): Canonical event type (call list_event_types to enumerate). Free-form strings are accepted but not federal-citation-grade.
- `payload` (object, required): JSON-serializable payload describing the agent action. Hashed verbatim into the chain; do not include secrets — the payload is recoverable on verify.

### `anchor_mcp_tool_call` (~185 tokens)

Convenience anchor for the AAM Model Context Protocol theater. Records an `agent_mcp_tool_call` event with structured tool-call metadata (server URL, tool name, argument digest, agent identity, response digest). Use this to make an MCP-using agent's actions independently auditable.

Input parameters:

- `agent_identity` (string, required): Stable identifier for the calling agent (e.g., agent ID, principal, did:knox:agent-X).
- `arguments_digest` (string, required): Caller-computed SHA-256 of the JSON-stringified arguments (64 hex chars).
- `outcome` (string, required): Outcome of the tool call.
- `response_digest` (string): Caller-computed SHA-256 of the JSON-stringified response (64 hex chars).
- `server_url` (string, required): MCP server endpoint the agent invoked.
- `tool_name` (string, required): Name of the tool invoked.

### `anchor_file_hash` (~155 tokens)

Anchor a SHA-256 file digest to Knox and return an affidavit architected for FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication. The file itself is not transmitted — the caller computes the hash and only the digest + filename + size + MIME type are anchored. Admissibility in any matter remains a determination of the presiding court. Requires a Knox Bearer API key on the Authorization header — unauthenticated calls are rejected.

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string): Original filename (max 256 chars).
- `hash` (string, required): SHA-256 file digest (64 lowercase hex chars).
- `mime_type` (string): MIME type (max 128 chars).
- `size_bytes` (integer): File size in bytes.
