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 → Why this is hard to 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 12 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 Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1616 tokens (~134/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management7
- Stability observed for 2 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

get_aggregate_stats Aggregate Stats ~46
Get high-level stats on CTA's records: trades recorded (since records began + 30/60/90d), members with recorded trades, avg filing delay, sector breakdown.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_chamber_breakdown Chamber Breakdown ~97

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_committee_trading Committee Trading Activity ~123
For a given congressional committee, returns which members have stock trades in CTA's records for the last N days, their trade counts, and the percentage of the committee with at least one recorded trade.

The profile covers only trades filed under that exact spelling.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

A name that does not match returns count 0 and no error, so resolve a common or partial name with search_members_and_tickers first. Only trades filed under that exact spelling are returned; for a member who filed under more than one spelling, use get_trade_feed with a partial name to include the other spellings.

search_members_and_tickers Search ~145
Case-insensitive substring search over member names, ticker symbols, and company names. Returns up to `limit` matching members and up to `limit` matching tickers, each ordered by trade count. Use it to turn a common or partial name into the exact stored name that get_member_trades and get_member_profile require. A member who filed under several spellings appears once, under one of them, with trade_count summed across those spellings, so get_member_trades on that name can return fewer trades. It matches substrings only and does not correct misspellings.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| query | string | yes | Search query |
