## 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 2026-10-24.

- **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**: 44/100
  - 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1153 tokens (~128/item across 9 items; 6 tools + 3 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 60/100
  - Stability observed for 18 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 95/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 86% 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 6 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).
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_stays` (~294 tokens)

Search hotels in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Goa (Fostay)

Search hotels in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Goa. For Dubai and Abu Dhabi, returns Fostay's hand-curated edit first (8 flagship stays with editorial verdicts), then catalog matches (~2,000 bookable hotels). For Goa, returns the best-reviewed hotels and resorts (hostels and homestays only when searched by name), optionally narrowed to one area. Use get_live_rates for prices. Results include a fostay_url where a human can view photos, live rates and book.

Input parameters:

- `area` (string): Goa only: narrow to one area — candolim-calangute-baga (Candolim, Calangute & Baga); anjuna-vagator (Anjuna, Vagator & Assagao); morjim-mandrem-arambol (Morjim, Mandrem, Arambol & Siolim); panaji-old…
- `city` (string, required): City or destination to search
- `limit` (integer): Max catalog results (default 10)
- `min_rating` (number): Minimum guest rating on a 10 scale, e.g. 8
- `query` (string): Optional hotel-name filter, e.g. 'Atlantis' or 'Rove'

### `get_live_rates` (~202 tokens)

Live room rates for a hotel

Live bookable room offers for one hotel and stay dates: total all-in price (AED), board (breakfast etc.), refundability and exact free-cancellation deadlines. For Goa, total_all_in counts GST, and any part the hotel collects at check-in is itemised separately (collected_by_hotel_at_checkin). The booking_url takes a human straight to this hotel on fostay.com to complete the booking.

Input parameters:

- `adults` (integer): Adult guests (default 2)
- `checkin` (string, required): Check-in date, YYYY-MM-DD
- `checkout` (string, required): Check-out date, YYYY-MM-DD
- `children` (array): Children's ages at check-in, e.g. [7, 9]. IMPORTANT for families: child-inclusive rates price kids' breakfast and extras upfront — always pass ages when children travel.
- `hotel_id` (string, required): Hotel id from search_stays (e.g. lp6556acf7)

### `demand_calendar` (~99 tokens)

UAE hotel demand calendar

Fostay's editorial demand calendar (UAE only — Dubai and Abu Dhabi; Goa has no event calendar yet): the upcoming date windows where Dubai and Abu Dhabi hotels predictably spike or sell out (GITEX, F1, NYE, Eid, school breaks...), each with a suggested book-by deadline. Use it to warn users about expensive dates or find event stays.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): Filter by city (default: both)

### `when_to_go` (~102 tokens)

Best-value upcoming weekends

Prices upcoming weekends (Fri–Sun, 2 nights) to find the cheapest times to stay. Pass hotel_id for one hotel across ~8 weekends, or just a city to compare Fostay's curated stays (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) or top-rated Goa hotels across the next ~6 weekends. Cheapest options first.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): Used when hotel_id is omitted
- `hotel_id` (string): Optional hotel id from search_stays

### `prepare_booking` (~192 tokens)

Hold a rate and get a payment link

Books everything except the payment: holds the chosen offer (real prebook — the price is locked while the hold lasts), registers the guest details, and returns a payment_url. The human opens that link, sees the exact stay summary, and pays in one step — the agent never handles card details. Confirm the guest's name and email with the user before calling. If the held price differs from what you quoted, this returns the final price and any change warnings — tell the user before sending them to pay.

Input parameters:

- `agent_name` (string): Your client name for attribution, e.g. 'claude' or 'chatgpt'
- `guest_email` (string, required): Guest's email — booking confirmation goes here
- `guest_first_name` (string, required)
- `guest_last_name` (string, required)
- `guest_phone` (string)
- `offer_id` (string, required): offer_id from get_live_rates

### `booking_status` (~95 tokens)

Check a Fostay booking's status

Verify a completed booking: confirmation status, hotel confirmation code, stay and price. Requires the Fostay booking id AND the guest email it was booked under (both are in the guest's confirmation). Use after the human pays via a prepare_booking link.

Input parameters:

- `booking_id` (string, required): Fostay booking id, e.g. uzYG5ZTt9
- `guest_email` (string, required): Guest email on the booking
