## 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 2026-10-04.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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 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**: 79/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1600 tokens (~228/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 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).

## 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.

### 2026-10-04 (score 77, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-10-02 (score 76, +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.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `find_place` (~102 tokens)

Find a place

Resolve a place name or address to coordinates, best match first.

Useful when a name is ambiguous (several Springfields) and the right candidate must be
chosen before calling another tool. A city resolves to its centre as OpenStreetMap maps it.
Geocoding by OpenStreetMap Nominatim, ODbL.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many candidates to return
- `query` (string, required): A place name or address, in any language

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `get_forecast` (~255 tokens)

Seven-day forecast and weather risk

This week's forecast at a place, and how risky the weather is each day.

Per local day: minimum and maximum temperature, peak precipitation rate, peak wind, and the
day's forecast risk class with the hazard behind it (heat, cold, wind, rain, snow, freezing
rain) and its physical reading (UTCI felt temperature, gust speed or rain rate). Steps are
hourly for the first day, then 3-hourly, then 6-hourly to day seven, and each day gives its
step_hours: from the fourth day the minimum and maximum are of 6-hourly steps, so the true
peak can fall between two of them. A day marked partial is cut by the start or end of the
window. With hourly=true, every step. Source: Environment and Climate Change Canada GDPS
global model, read at its own 15 km cell containing the point.

Input parameters:

- `hourly` (boolean): Include every forecast step, not only the daily summary
- `latitude`: Latitude in degrees, WGS84
- `longitude`: Longitude in degrees, WGS84
- `place`: A place name or address, used when latitude and longitude are not given

### `get_climate_profile` (~239 tokens)

Long-term climate profile

Long-term climate exposure at a place: every climate layer on the Criora map, read there.

Includes the latest full year of ERA5 reanalysis, a single year named in each layer's year
field rather than a multi-year normal (hottest day, coldest night, hot and frost day counts,
wind, extreme rain days, UTCI), warming and rainfall change projected to 2050 and 2080 (CMIP6),
sea level rise (IPCC AR6), coastal and river flood depth by scenario (WRI Aqueduct), water
stress now and projected, drought (SPI), aridity, burned area, land cover, elevation, land
subsidence and the Köppen climate zone. Every value names its source, year, unit, licence and
the size of the cell it is read from.

Input parameters:

- `categories`: Limit the answer to these layer categories; all of them when omitted
- `latitude`: Latitude in degrees, WGS84
- `longitude`: Longitude in degrees, WGS84
- `place`: A place name or address, used when latitude and longitude are not given

### `get_hazards_near` (~199 tokens)

Hazard events near a place

Disasters and hazards happening now or recently near a place, most severe and most recent first.

Wildfires (NASA FIRMS), earthquakes, floods, tropical cyclones, volcanic eruptions and droughts
(GDACS), US National Weather Service flood, tropical cyclone and fire warnings, and air quality
(OpenAQ reference monitors), with distance, bearing, severity and time.
Radius defaults to a sensible distance per event type. At most 25 events are listed; total and
counts_by_type cover every event found.

Input parameters:

- `days`: Only events of the last N days
- `event_types`: Only these kinds of event
- `latitude`: Latitude in degrees, WGS84
- `longitude`: Longitude in degrees, WGS84
- `place`: A place name or address, used when latitude and longitude are not given
- `radius_km`: Search radius in km, 1 to 500

### `get_country_profile` (~151 tokens)

Country climate and disaster risk profile

A country's climate and disaster risk from the Criora Atlas.

Overall risk score and class, and scores for climate, nature, social, governance and adaptation,
with the country's income group and region. With include_indicators=true, about 160 indicators
(INFORM Risk Index, ND-GAIN, World Bank) each with its value, year, source and the world and
regional medians it compares against. Scores run 0 to 100; higher means more risk.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code (e.g. BGD) or English country name
- `include_indicators` (boolean): Add every underlying indicator with its world and regional benchmark

### `compare_countries` (~77 tokens)

Compare countries

Several countries side by side on overall risk and each risk dimension, with their ranks.

Scores run 0 to 100; higher means more risk. Ranks are among all countries in the Criora Atlas,
1 being the highest risk.

Input parameters:

- `countries` (array, required): ISO3 codes or English names of 2 to 10 countries

### `assess_place` (~130 tokens)

Everything Criora knows about a place

One answer for a place: this week's forecast risk by day, hazard events nearby, the headline
climate exposures (heat, flood, sea-level rise, water stress, drought, heavy rain, fire, climate
zone) and the risk profile of the country it lies in. The best first call for a general
question about a location; get_climate_profile has every climate layer.

Input parameters:

- `latitude`: Latitude in degrees, WGS84
- `longitude`: Longitude in degrees, WGS84
- `place`: A place name or address, used when latitude and longitude are not given
