## 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 2026-08-03.

- **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 6 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 932 tokens (~155/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_locksmiths` (~244 tokens)

Find vetted, licensed locksmiths near a location.

    Use this first when a user needs a locksmith. Returns a ranked list of
    human-vetted providers (featured first) with id, name, city, services,
    rating, verified/featured flags, phone, and a profile URL.

    Args:
        location: A 5-digit US ZIP code (preferred) or a US city name.
        service:  Optional job type, e.g. "lockout", "automotive", "residential",
                  "commercial", "rekey", "install", "safe".
        urgency:  Optional, e.g. "emergency", "today", "scheduled".
        budget:   Optional free-text budget hint.
        limit:    Max results to return (1-20, default 5).

    Note: price and ETA are NOT pre-listed — they are confirmed by the locksmith
    after you call request_quote. Do not invent prices or ETAs.

Input parameters:

- `budget` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `location` (string, required)
- `service` (string)
- `urgency` (string)

### `get_locksmith` (~63 tokens)

Get the full profile for one locksmith by id (from search_locksmiths).

    Returns name, city/state, services, service-area ZIPs, rating, review count,
    verification note, phone, and profile URL.

Input parameters:

- `locksmith_id` (string, required)

### `request_quote` (~258 tokens)

Create a lead: ask a specific locksmith for a quote.

    ONLY call this when the user has chosen a provider and wants to be contacted —
    it sends a real request to the locksmith. Provide a phone (preferred) or email
    so the locksmith can reach the customer. Returns a reference id (HL-####); the
    locksmith confirms availability, price, and ETA directly.

    Args:
        locksmith_id: id from search_locksmiths / get_locksmith.
        name:         Customer name.
        phone:        Customer phone (preferred). Phone OR email is required.
        email:        Customer email (alternative to phone).
        zip:          5-digit ZIP of the job (improves routing/records).
        service:      Job type, e.g. "lockout", "automotive".
        details:      Free-text description of the job.
        urgency:      e.g. "emergency", "today".

Input parameters:

- `details` (string)
- `email` (string)
- `locksmith_id` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required)
- `phone` (string)
- `service` (string)
- `urgency` (string)
- `zip` (string)

### `book_job` (~172 tokens)

Create a booking request with a specific locksmith (firmer than request_quote).

    ONLY call when the user wants to book a job — it sends a real request. Provide a
    phone (preferred) or email. `preferred_time` is the requested window, e.g.
    "today 3-5pm". This is a booking REQUEST, not a guaranteed appointment; the
    locksmith confirms the time, price, and ETA. Returns a reference id (HL-####).

Input parameters:

- `details` (string)
- `email` (string)
- `locksmith_id` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required)
- `phone` (string)
- `preferred_time` (string)
- `service` (string)
- `urgency` (string)
- `zip` (string)

### `check_availability` (~101 tokens)

Check coverage for one provider (locksmith_id) or an area (location: ZIP or city).

    Returns whether the area is served, how many vetted providers cover it, and how many
    offer 24/7 emergency service. Live availability is confirmed at request_quote — this
    does not return a real-time "available now" status, so don't imply one.

Input parameters:

- `location` (string)
- `locksmith_id` (string)

### `get_eta` (~94 tokens)

Get an ETA proxy for a location (ZIP or city).

    eta_minutes is null — HireLocksmiths does not pre-list ETAs. The tool returns the
    number of vetted providers nearby and whether 24/7 emergency coverage exists (usually
    fastest). For a real ETA, call request_quote and the locksmith confirms it directly.
    Never invent a number of minutes.

Input parameters:

- `location` (string, required)
