## 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 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 2 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 886 tokens (~221/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 94% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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).

## MCP tools (4)

### `find_posters` (~237 tokens)

Find a poster

Search GiftsToPrint's personalised newspaper-style posters. Each poster shows real headlines and events from one year, personalised with a name, photo and message, and is delivered as a print-ready digital file (nothing is posted). Birthday posters and wedding-anniversary posters exist per milestone and edition (e.g. 60th Birthday, Australian edition, 1966); retirement and dating-anniversary posters cover any year, chosen in the form. Pick the edition by where the recipient lives or grew up (US, UK, Canada or Australia). Returns each matching poster's handle, prices and product page. Next step: get_poster_form.

Input parameters:

- `buyer_country` (string): Optional ISO country code of the buyer (e.g. "US", "AU") to show prices in their currency.
- `edition` (string): Country edition: which country's news the poster shows.
- `milestone` (integer): The birthday or anniversary number, e.g. 60 for a 60th.
- `occasion` (string): What the poster celebrates.
- `year` (integer): The year the poster should cover (birth year, or wedding year).

### `get_poster_form` (~103 tokens)

Get the details a poster needs

List exactly what to collect from the user for one poster: names, dates, optional message, and the photo, plus the turnaround options and prices. Ask the user for anything you don't already know. Don't invent names or dates. Next step: upload_photo, then create_poster_checkout.

Input parameters:

- `buyer_country` (string): Optional ISO country code of the buyer, for local prices.
- `handle` (string, required): The poster's handle, from find_posters.

### `upload_photo` (~123 tokens)

Upload the photo for the poster

Store the photo that will be printed on the poster. Give either image_url (a public https link to the image) or image_base64. JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 20MB. Returns photo_url, which you then pass to create_poster_checkout. Photos are kept for 12 months so the poster can be made and revised, then deleted automatically.

Input parameters:

- `image_base64` (string): The image file encoded as base64 (a data: URL prefix is fine).
- `image_url` (string): Public https:// address of the image.

### `create_poster_checkout` (~301 tokens)

Create the personalised checkout

Validate every detail and create a Shopify checkout for one personalised poster with all the details attached. Returns checkout_url. Nothing is charged: open checkout_url for the user to review the order and pay on GiftsToPrint's own checkout. Before calling, read the details back to the user and confirm they understand they will receive a digital file to print (set confirm_digital_file to true). If a field is wrong, the error lists every problem at once so you can fix them in one go.

Input parameters:

- `buyer` (object, required)
- `buyer_country` (string): Optional ISO country code, so checkout opens in the buyer's currency.
- `confirm_digital_file` (boolean, required): Must be true: the buyer understands the poster is a digital file to print, not a physical print.
- `handle` (string, required): The poster's handle, from find_posters.
- `instructions` (string): Optional note to the designers, e.g. how to crop the photo.
- `personalisation` (object, required): The fields from get_poster_form, keyed by their id (e.g. recipient_first_name, birth_day, birth_month).
- `photo_url` (string, required): The photo_url returned by upload_photo.
- `turnaround` (string, required): standard: ready the next working day, order Mon-Fri. rush_weekday: ready within 12 hours, order Mon-Fri. rush_weekend: ready within 24 hours, order Sat or Sun.
