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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security97
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2483 tokens (~155/item across 16 items; 16 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 16 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 17 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
batch Batch ~173
Scrape a list of URLs you already have, such as pages found with map. Waits for the batch to finish and returns the first page of results in the same call, so a short list needs one call; read further pages, or a batch still running, with batch_status. Each URL scraped costs 1 credit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Results to return in this call (default 10). |
| maxCharsPerPage | integer | – | Cut each page's markdown to this many characters; a cut page says so in data.truncated with its full length. Use it when results are too large for your context. |
| urls | array | yes | The URLs to scrape. |
| wait | integer | – | Seconds to wait for the batch before returning (default 45). 0 returns the batch id at once. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
batch_status Batch status ~143
Read a batch started with batch: its progress, and one page of results in the order the URLs were sent. When nextOffset is not null, pass it as offset to read the next page of results.

|---|---|---|---|
| batchId | string | yes | The id returned by batch. |
| limit | integer | – | Results to return in this call (default 10). |

Each call costs 1 credit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| formats | array | – | Which outputs to return. Defaults to markdown. |
| maxCharacters | integer | – | Most characters of each text output to return in this call (default 50000). A longer page says so in truncated, with its full length, and gives nextOffset. |
| offset | integer | – | Character position to start from, to read the rest of a long page. Defaults to 0. |
| preferStructure | boolean | – | Keep headings, lists and tables as markdown. Default false optimises for raw content and can return unstructured text on marketing and listing pages. Turn on when the document structure matters, or r… |
| url | string | yes | The URL to scrape. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
screenshot Screenshot ~228
Render a page in a real browser and capture a PNG, returning its public URL. Use when the question is what the page looks like rather than what it says.

| timeout | integer | – | Overall time budget for the capture, in milliseconds. |
| url | string | yes | The URL to capture. |
| viewport | string | – | Screen size to render at. Defaults to desktop (1920x1080). Ignored when width or height are given. |

|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | – | The domain to read, e.g. stripe.com, using its homepage. Send this or url. |
| maxAge | integer | – | Accept a stored result no older than this many milliseconds. 0 reads fresh. |
