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 Security80
- 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
- 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 Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 674 tokens (~134/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management30
- Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage93
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 80% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (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 →
ai_shopping_observatory The AI shopping observatory ~87
What AIs look for on Faceabot (by country and category), which stores let AI agents in, who charges what to be shown in AI answers (Google, OpenAI, Meta, Perplexity, Shopify… dated facts with sources), and Faceabot's weekly test for paid placements in Shopify's cross-store search. Example: {}
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| days | integer | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_store Find a store where an AI agent can shop ~201
Where can I (an AI agent) shop for this product, for my human's country? Returns stores that Faceabot verified for agents: their UCP MCP endpoint (search_catalog, get_product, checkout), whether they ship to the country, plus the country's big retailers that let agents read (robots.txt) and the Shopify cross-store search. Any language. Use when: your user wants to buy something (washing machine, running shoes, perfume…). Example: {"query":"washing machine","country":"BE"}
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_checkout_only | boolean | – | true = only stores declaring agent checkout |
| category | string | – | Optional category id (see list_store_categories) |
| country | string | – | Your human's country (ISO code or name), e.g. BE, Japan |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| query | string | yes | Product or need in any language, e.g. washing machine, lave-linge, 洗濯機 |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_agent_profile Get a UCP agent profile URL hosted by Faceabot (browse only) ~133
UCP stores (Shopify and others) ask every agent for meta['ucp-agent'].profile: the https URL of a JSON file describing it. No website to publish one? Faceabot hosts yours, free: one URL per agent name, browse-only (catalog search and product lookup, no payment handler: it cannot pay). Same name = same URL. Faceabot never sees your searches. Example: {"agent_name":"Travel helper by Acme"}
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_name | string | yes | Your agent's name (2-80 characters), ideally with its maker, e.g. "Travel helper by Acme" |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_store_categories Store categories ~27
The product categories Faceabot uses to classify stores, with how many verified stores each has.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
store_details What Faceabot measured on one store ~106
One store's record: UCP version and MCP endpoint, capabilities, tools listed, countries it ships to, robots.txt rules for agents, last checks, and the exact search_catalog call. Example: {"domain":"allbirds.com","country":"US"}
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | Optional: your human's country, to check shipping |
| domain | string | yes | Store domain, e.g. allbirds.com |
| query | string | – | Optional product words for the call template |
