## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 769 tokens (~384/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**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 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 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)

### `search_legal_templates` (~479 tokens)

Search legal templates

Use this when the user wants a legal form, contract, agreement, notice, letter or template for a specific country or jurisdiction (36 covered; Quebec is listed separately from Canada). Accepts the document name in English or in the local language. Returns matching forms-legal.com template pages with the link, the statute each template references and a short description. Do not use it to give legal advice, to judge whether a clause is valid or enforceable, or to draft a custom document. Templates are reference documents, not legal advice. Searches are logged with a keyed hash of the anonymized user and conversation IDs the app provides; the search text is kept only when no template fully matches, for up to 30 days (https://forms-legal.com/privacy#api-mcp-plugin).

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Optional jurisdiction: slug, English name or code. Known slugs: usa (United States), uk (United Kingdom), canada (Canada), quebec (Quebec), australia (Australia), new-zealand (New Zealand), ireland (…
- `language` (string): Optional language for titles and summaries (en, es, pt, de, fr, it, nl, sv, nb, fi, da, pl). "en" returns English titles for every document; omit it to get each document in its own language.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results (1-20, default 5).
- `query` (string, required): Document type or keywords, e.g. "tenancy agreement", "deed of absolute sale", "contrato de arrendamiento".

Output parameters:

- `count` (number)
- `country` (string)
- `coverage` (boolean): false when the requested country is not covered; `message` then lists the covered jurisdictions.
- `language` (string)
- `match` (string): "all": every query word matched; "partial": no template matched every word, these are the closest.
- `message` (string)
- `query` (string)
- `results` (array)
- `total_matches` (number): Documents that matched before the limit was applied.

### `get_citation` (~146 tokens)

Cite a Forms Legal page

Use this only to cite a page on forms-legal.com (a template page or a fact table) in APA, MLA, Chicago, BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON or DataCite format. Do not use it for articles, books, papers, court cases or pages on other websites. Citations are logged with the cited page path and a keyed hash of the anonymized user ID the app provides (https://forms-legal.com/privacy#api-mcp-plugin).

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Citation format (default apa).
- `url` (string, required): Full page URL on forms-legal.com, e.g. a URL returned by search_legal_templates.

Output parameters:

- `citation` (string): The citation text (JSON formats as a JSON string).

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Forms Legal templates MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on Forms Legal templates, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
