## 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 2026-10-17.

- **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 4 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 536 tokens (~134/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**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 87/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 60% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `log_costs` (~268 tokens)

Log what your agent's model and tool calls cost, then get the running total for the run and for today. Pass events (one per call, up to 500) or an OpenTelemetry OTLP/JSON trace export as otel (gen_ai.usage.input_tokens / output_tokens / gen_ai.request.model are read; trace id becomes run_id). Give cost_usd per call, or tokens plus your own per-million prices; nothing is guessed. Optional caps: run_cap_usd and daily_cap_usd. Free watch-only returns would_alert when a cap is crossed; Pro posts one alert per day to alert_webhook. Never blocks or changes your agent.

Input parameters:

- `alert_webhook` (string): https URL Pro posts the cap alert to.
- `daily_cap_usd` (number)
- `events` (array)
- `otel` (object): OTLP/JSON export: { resourceSpans: [...] }.
- `price_in_per_m` (number): Default input USD per 1M tokens for events without cost_usd.
- `price_out_per_m` (number): Default output USD per 1M tokens.
- `run_cap_usd` (number)
- `run_id` (string): Stable id for this run (default "default").

### `cost_report` (~75 tokens)

Cost per run, per tool, per model and per day. Without an API key pass run_id (one run). With a key: everything on that key. Free shows 7 days, Pro 30.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): 1-30 (free max 7).
- `run_id` (string)

### `weekly_report` (~46 tokens)

Plain-English summary of the last 7 days of spend: total, top runs, top tools, top models, busiest day. Read-only; sends nothing. Needs a free API key.

### `usage_and_upgrade` (~37 tokens)

Show today's usage for your key or IP and the $9/month upgrade link. Free tier: 500 calls/day. Not metered.
