## 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 2026-09-29.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - 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 1 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - 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**: 70/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 362 tokens (~362/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 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.

### `search_docs` (~243 tokens)

Search Handsontable/HyperFormula docs

Semantic (meaning-based) search over the Handsontable + HyperFormula documentation knowledge base — docs guides, code recipes, blog posts, release notes and GitHub issues. Returns ranked page-level snippets with title, content, relevance score, url and provenance (framework, kind, htVersion/hfVersion). `url` is null when no public page exists (recipes, releases, issues) — never fabricate a link. Scores are rank-only. Guides repeat once per framework (javascript/react/angular/vue) — dedupe on url/title when you need distinct documents. Pass ht_version/hf_version (your installed releases) to get an explicit coverage note when the KB documents a different version.

Input parameters:

- `hf_version` (string): Your installed HyperFormula version (e.g. "3.4.0") — same coverage-note semantics.
- `ht_version` (string): Your installed Handsontable version (e.g. "18.1.0") — adds an explicit coverage note when the KB documents a different minor.
- `limit` (integer): Max results (default 8, max 20).
- `query` (string, required): Search terms or a natural-language question.
