## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 94/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token.
  - 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.
  - The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 74/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 891 tokens (~127/item across 7 items; 7 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**: 83/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 50% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 78, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (7)

### `list_organisations` (~23 tokens)

List Xero organisations

List the Xero organisations connected to the authenticated Boxkite account.

### `start_export` (~175 tokens)

Start a one-off Xero data export

Starts a read-only export of one Xero organisation's data. Costs $39 per organisation: when payment is outstanding the response is status 'awaiting_payment' with a Stripe checkoutUrl for the user to complete in a browser, and the export begins once that payment settles. This is not a status endpoint: it reports only the state at creation, and repeat calls return the existing export for that organisation rather than creating or charging for a second one. Export progress is reported by get_export_status, and newly created exports appear in list_exports. A typical export runs for hours, and pauses whenever it meets a Xero rate limit or Boxkite's egress budget — anything from under a minute to the next UTC day. get_export_status reports when it resumes.

Input parameters:

- `organisationId` (string, required): Organisation id from list_organisations

### `list_exports` (~75 tokens)

List exports

List one-off exports (newest first), optionally for one organisation. Use this to find an export after payment and to poll its status until it is 'ready'. Side-effect free: it never starts a new export or charges anything. Each entry carries progress, parkedUntil and pollAfterSeconds.

Input parameters:

- `organisationId` (string)

### `get_export_status` (~189 tokens)

Get export status

Reports the state of one export: status (queued | running | ready | failed) and whether its download is available yet. Also returns progress {discovered, transferred, percent}; parkedUntil; and pollAfterSeconds, the interval after which this status is expected to have changed. A large export runs for hours, so pollAfterSeconds can be a long interval. parkedUntil is a timestamp, present whenever work on the organisation is paused and expected to resume. How long varies by cause and is not worth guessing at: hitting Xero's per-minute limit pauses for under a minute, approaching its daily quota pauses for about an hour, and exhausting the daily quota or Boxkite's own egress budget pauses until the next UTC day. Wait until the timestamp (or pollAfterSeconds, which already accounts for it) rather than describing a cause to the user.

Input parameters:

- `exportId` (string, required)

### `get_export_manifest` (~156 tokens)

Get export manifest

See what an IN-PROGRESS export contains so far (entities included, per-entity record/file counts, and per-file checksums), growing as discovery and downloading proceed. The per-file list is paged: check filesPage.hasMore and pass fileOffset to walk it. Once the export finishes, this returns status 'complete' with a pointer instead of a list, because the full manifest travels inside the ZIP as manifest.json: get a download URL, then read manifest.json from the archive.

Input parameters:

- `exportId` (string, required)
- `fileLimit` (integer): Files per page (default 500, max 5000)
- `fileOffset` (integer): Index of the first file to return (default 0)

### `get_export_mapping` (~174 tokens)

Get export file→object mapping

For an IN-PROGRESS export, get the mapping of each file discovered so far to the Xero object it represents or is attached to (e.g. which invoice a receipt PDF belongs to). Paged (default 200 files, max 500): check filesPage.hasMore and pass fileOffset for the next page; the `objects` map covers only the files on the current page. Once the export finishes, this returns status 'complete' with a pointer instead: the full mapping ships under Info/ inside the ZIP, so download the archive and read Info/files.json from it.

Input parameters:

- `exportId` (string, required)
- `fileLimit` (integer): Files per page (default 200, max 500)
- `fileOffset` (integer): Index of the first file to return (default 0)

### `get_download_url` (~99 tokens)

Get export download URL

Returns a short-lived signed URL for the export ZIP, valid within the export's 7-day retention window, along with byteSize (the archive's size in bytes, null if unavailable) and fileCount. These archives range from a few MB to several GB. The archive contains the exported files plus manifest.json (every file with its sha256) and Info/ (the file-to-Xero-object mapping).

Input parameters:

- `exportId` (string, required)
