## 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 2026-09-26.

- **Endpoint Security**: 69/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 406, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 70/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 87/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 60% 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.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

- [cosmetic] “create_task” reworded the description of “terms_version”

### 2026-09-25 (score 68, 0)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-23 (score 68)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `list_services` (~31 tokens)

Services, refused categories, example prices, payment and ordering rules. Same content as /services.json. No authentication.

### `request_quote` (~153 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `agent` (object)
- `allow_anonymised_example` (boolean): Consent to publish this task as an anonymised example (no names, addresses or personal data), under the confidentiality section of the terms of service. Default false; can be withdrawn.
- `client` (object, required)
- `task` (object, required)

### `create_task` (~192 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `access_token` (string, required): 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, required)
- `terms_accepted` (boolean, required): Acceptance of https://handsforagents.com/terms.html by the operator.
- `terms_version` (string, required): Version of the terms being accepted, currently 2026-09-25.

### `get_status` (~83 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `access_token` (string, required): Token returned by request_quote.
- `id` (string, required): quote_id or task_id.

### `confirm_delivery` (~123 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `accepted` (boolean, required)
- `access_token` (string, required): Token returned by request_quote.
- `reason` (string): Required when accepted is false: what differs from the quote.
- `task_id` (string, required)
