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 Security74
- 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
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability77
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 782 tokens (~195/item across 4 items; 2 tools + 2 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 Management63
- Stability observed for 19 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.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 →
react_with_gif React with a GIF ~304
Use this when GifSnap is selected for conversational GIF reactions. During that reaction chat, use one matching GIF for each casual social reply, including follow-ups like haha, xd, or laughter emojis, without requiring another @mention. Preserve the topic in query: cheeseburger hungry for a burger conversation, laughing for laughter, friendly wave for hello. On haha, xd, or laughter emojis, use query laughing, without reusing a previous burger/food/object topic. Preserve a subject only when the current message actually mentions it. The component displays one GIF; respond in TEXT ONLY alongside it, without an additional image or picker. Read reaction.description so you know what was displayed. Pass recent returned reaction.id values in excludeIds to avoid repeating GIFs. Respect stop or fewer-GIF requests and omit reactions for serious or purely factual tasks. Do not send transcripts or personal information.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| excludeIds | array | – | Up to five recent reaction.id values from this conversation to avoid repeating a GIF; omit on the first turn. |

search_gifs Find GIF reactions ~192
Use this when the user explicitly wants to search, browse or compare GIF choices. Search by emotion, character or brief phrase and show up to 6 choices with optional copy/share controls. For the assistant's own conversational GIF response, use react_with_gif instead. Send only short keywords; omit personal data and conversation transcripts. This searches existing GIFs; it does not create images or send messages.
