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 Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 383 tokens (~191/item across 2 items; 2 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 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

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
clock_headline Headline Clock figures ~79
Returns the live headline Clock figures from the Ctrl Worx Watch List with their as-of date: public companies on the Clock, how many have been open more than one and three years, and the full on-record count. Also returns the frozen October 2026 report figures with their own as-of date. Each figure comes with its as-of date.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
lookup_company Look up a company on the Ctrl Worx Watch List ~150
Looks up one public company by ticker, full company name or SEC CIK number in the live Ctrl Worx Watch List. Returns whether it is on the Watch List, its status, how long the material weakness has been open (years on the Clock and open-since date), the as-of date, its ctrlworx.com page and the SEC filing link. It matches on an exact ticker, CIK or full name. For any other input it returns a list of candidate companies, each with its CIK and status, and no single match.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Ticker (e.g. CORZ), full company name (e.g. Core Scientific), or SEC CIK number. |
