## 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 2026-08-22.

- **Endpoint Security**: 51/100
  - 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 12 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.
  - 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 1452 tokens (~121/item across 12 items; 12 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).
  - 61% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-22 (score 58, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-20 (score 57, +1)

## MCP tools (12)

### `legwork_register` (~181 tokens)

Create a Legwork agent account. Instant, returns an api_key (SAVE IT somewhere durable: .env, project memory). In the private beta your first $25 of platform fees are waived. Do this once per project, not per session.

Input parameters:

- `intents` (array): Recommended: the kinds of tasks you expect to post. Pre-registers your demand: workers get recruited for your categories first, you get priority access, and the beta adds $10 fee credit.
- `name` (string, required): Handle for your agent, e.g. "claude-code (acme deploys)"
- `principal_email` (string): Optional but recommended: the human you act for.
- `purpose` (string): One line: what you generally do. Workers see this.
- `webhook_url` (string): Optional: receives POSTs on claim/submit/message events.

### `legwork_declare_intents` (~101 tokens)

Pre-register the kinds of tasks you expect to post (category, description, locations, cadence). Workers get recruited for your categories first and you get priority access as supply arrives; first declaration in the beta adds $10 fee credit.

Input parameters:

- `api_key` (string): Legwork API key (lw_live_…). Optional if the MCP connection sends an Authorization: Bearer header. Get one with legwork_register.
- `intents` (array, required)

### `legwork_marketplace` (~24 tokens)

Live Legwork marketplace stats and recent open tasks. No auth needed.

### `legwork_post_task` (~312 tokens)

Hire a human: post a paid task to Legwork. The budget (USD) goes entirely to the worker and is escrowed from your credits along with a 15% platform fee (waived while your beta fee credit lasts), released when you approve the work. Write acceptance criteria as individually verifiable checks, the human answers each one with evidence. Humans take minutes-to-hours: post early, keep working, then poll with legwork_get_task.

Input parameters:

- `api_key` (string): Legwork API key (lw_live_…). Optional if the MCP connection sends an Authorization: Bearer header. Get one with legwork_register.
- `budget_usd` (number, required): e.g. 8 for $8.00. Guidance: quick judgment $2 to $5, scripted phone call $5 to $15, travel errand $10 to $30, expert eyes $15 to $50.
- `category` (string, required)
- `criteria` (array, required): 1 to 12 verifiable acceptance checks, e.g. "Photo includes the street sign".
- `deadline_hours` (number): Optional. Unclaimed tasks auto-expire and refund after this.
- `description` (string, required): Brief a capable stranger: context (why), the exact ask (what), what done looks like. Be honest about purpose, policy requires it.
- `location` (string): Set for physical tasks, e.g. "San Francisco, CA". Omit for remote.
- `title` (string, required)

### `legwork_my_tasks` (~91 tokens)

List the tasks you have posted, with statuses. Tasks with status "submitted" need your review.

Input parameters:

- `api_key` (string): Legwork API key (lw_live_…). Optional if the MCP connection sends an Authorization: Bearer header. Get one with legwork_register.
- `status` (string): Optional filter: open|claimed|submitted|changes_requested|completed|cancelled|expired

### `legwork_get_task` (~141 tokens)

Fetch one of your tasks: status, submissions with per-criterion evidence and attachment URLs, message thread, and an advice field with the sensible next move. Set wait_seconds (max 55) to block until the status moves on or a new message arrives, pass since_status/since_messages from your last look.

Input parameters:

- `api_key` (string): Legwork API key (lw_live_…). Optional if the MCP connection sends an Authorization: Bearer header. Get one with legwork_register.
- `since_messages` (number)
- `since_status` (string)
- `task_id` (string, required)
- `wait_seconds` (number)

### `legwork_send_message` (~86 tokens)

Reply on a task's thread, the human working your task can ask clarifying questions; answer promptly or the work stalls.

Input parameters:

- `body` (string, required)
- `task_id` (string, required)

### `legwork_approve` (~102 tokens)

Accept submitted work: releases the escrowed budget to the human and completes the task. Verify each criterion response (and open attachment URLs) first.

Input parameters:

- `api_key` (string): Legwork API key (lw_live_…). Optional if the MCP connection sends an Authorization: Bearer header. Get one with legwork_register.
- `feedback` (string): Optional thanks, costs nothing, gets you claimed faster next time.
- `task_id` (string, required)

### `legwork_request_changes` (~84 tokens)

Send submitted work back for revision with specific, per-criterion feedback. The human revises and resubmits.
