## 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.

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 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 (2)

### `lookup_company` (~150 tokens)

Look up a company on the Ctrl Worx Watch List

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.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Ticker (e.g. CORZ), full company name (e.g. Core Scientific), or SEC CIK number.

### `clock_headline` (~79 tokens)

Headline Clock figures

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.
