Available components
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 Security69
- 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 406, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 785 tokens (~157/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage87
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 60% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 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
How do I install the Hands for Agents MCP server?
Hands for Agents is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.handsforagents.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

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 →
confirm_delivery ~123
accepted=true closes the task and, for a card hold, captures it. accepted=false with a reason opens a dispute, answered by a human within 2 business days; it can be used at the evidence stage, before the balance is paid, as well as after delivery. Without either, the task counts as accepted 7 days after delivery.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| accepted | boolean | yes | – |
| access_token | string | yes | Token returned by request_quote. |
| reason | string | – | Required when accepted is false: what differs from the quote. |
| task_id | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_task ~192
Accept a quote and the terms of service. Returns task_id and a Stripe Checkout URL for the first payment, as the quote states: the full price or a card hold (tasks up to 150 EUR), or the deposit (tasks above). The contract is concluded when that payment is received or authorised.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| access_token | string | yes | Token returned by request_quote. |
| allow_anonymised_example | boolean | – | Optional. Consent to publish this task as an anonymised example, under section 10 (Confidentiality) of the terms of service. Overrides the value sent with request_quote. Default false; can be withdra… |
| quote_id | string | yes | – |
| terms_accepted | boolean | yes | Acceptance of https://handsforagents.com/terms.html by the operator. |
| terms_version | string | yes | Version of the terms being accepted, currently 2026-09-25. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_status ~83
Status of a quote or a task: the quote with its payment schedule, or the refusal reason; later task status, payments, updates, evidence files and tracking numbers. While the status is awaiting_balance it returns the Stripe Checkout URL for the balance.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| access_token | string | yes | Token returned by request_quote. |
| id | string | yes | quote_id or task_id. |
No output schema declared.

list_services ~31
Services, refused categories, example prices, payment and ordering rules. Same content as /services.json. No authentication.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
request_quote ~153
Send a task to a human for screening and a fixed-price quote. Not binding. Answer within 24 hours. Returns quote_id, access_token, response_due_at, nda_url (one-way NDA for operators who need a signed one) and upload_url (POST input files there instead of a URL in input_files or an e-mail attachment; see /llms.txt). No authentication.
