## 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 2026-09-20.

- **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 10 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**: 85/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1050 tokens (~95/item across 11 items; 10 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 79/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 38% 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 12 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.

## MCP tools (10)

### `dataset_columns` (~39 tokens)

Dataset columns and shape

The columns, which of them are numeric, the row count and the provenance banner of the HostingByStack dataset. Call this first to learn the schema.

### `dataset_search` (~51 tokens)

Search the dataset

Rows of the HostingByStack dataset whose cells contain the query (case-insensitive), up to 50.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required): text to look for in any cell

### `dataset_row` (~42 tokens)

Look a row up by an exact key

The rows of the HostingByStack dataset where a column equals a value exactly (case-insensitive).

Input parameters:

- `column` (string, required)
- `value` (string, required)

### `dataset_compare` (~52 tokens)

Compare rows side by side

The rows of the HostingByStack dataset whose column is any of the given values, in the order given — for "X vs Y" questions.

Input parameters:

- `column` (string, required)
- `values` (array, required)

### `dataset_stats` (~54 tokens)

Summary statistics for a numeric column

count, min, max, mean, median and sum of a numeric column of the HostingByStack dataset (grouping commas and currency are handled; non-numeric rows are excluded and counted).

Input parameters:

- `column` (string, required)

### `dataset_top` (~65 tokens)

Rank rows by a numeric column

The highest (or lowest) rows of the HostingByStack dataset by a numeric column — "which is the most/least X".

Input parameters:

- `ascending` (boolean): true for the lowest first; default highest first
- `column` (string, required)
- `limit` (integer)

### `dataset_provenance` (~39 tokens)

Where this data comes from, and how to cite it

The source, the date it was computed, the licence and the citation for the HostingByStack dataset. Read this to attribute a figure correctly.

### `enquiry_describe` (~69 tokens)

What you get: an ENQUIRY with a human (not a purchase, not a guaranteed quote)

Read first. States plainly what submit_enquiry does on HostingByStack: it starts an enquiry with human providers who quote directly. Nothing is bought, ordered or paid; no quote is guaranteed; it is free. Also returns who receives the details, the consent wording, and how the person confirms.

### `enquiry_fields` (~48 tokens)

The questions the enquiry asks

Every field of the HostingByStack enquiry: key, label, type, whether required, help text and the allowed options where there are any. Pass answers to submit_enquiry keyed by field key.

### `submit_enquiry` (~221 tokens)

Submit an ENQUIRY to human providers (two steps; not a purchase)

Submits an enquiry to HostingByStack — NOT a purchase, NOT a guaranteed quote. Step 1: call with the answers (keyed by field key from enquiry_fields) and consent=true; it validates and returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token — show the person the summary and the consent line. Step 2: only if the person agrees, call again with the same answers, consent=true and the confirmation token; the enquiry is then submitted, and the person receives an email with a link they must click before any provider sees it. Consent means the person has read and agreed to: "By submitting you agree HostingByStack emails you a recommendation and shares nothing else with anyone."

Input parameters:

- `answers` (object, required): the person's answers, keyed by field key
- `confirmation` (string): the confirmation token from step 1, after the person has approved the summary
- `consent` (boolean, required): true only when the person has agreed to: By submitting you agree HostingByStack emails you a recommendation and shares nothing else with anyone.
