## 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**: 46/100
  - 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 check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - 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**: 83/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1745 tokens (~134/item across 13 items; 12 tools + 1 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**: 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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

### `get_competitive_profile` (~145 tokens)

Get a competitive profile for a company

Use when the user asks who competes with a company, what a competitor recently did, or for a competitive overview of a domain. Input a company domain or name and get a privacy-safe profile: firmographics, recent strategic moves (the existence of a shift + a was→now summary, with the real analysis date), and links to published reports/comparisons.

### `list_competitor_moves` (~111 tokens)

List a competitor's recent moves

Recent tracked strategic moves for one competitor, newest-first — the existence of each shift plus a was→now summary and the real analysis date (never a fabricated date).

### `list_comparisons` (~92 tokens)

### `subscribe_to_newsletter` (~105 tokens)

Use when the user asks what changed, what's new, or wants a timeline of a competitor's moves — optionally since a given date. Input a domain or name.

Input parameters:

- `competitor` (string): Competitor name or domain (e.g. 'Apollo' or 'apollo.io'). Omit for a market-wide recent pricing feed.
- `limit` (integer): Max changes (default 20, max 50).

### `list_markets` (~47 tokens)

### `get_market_landscape` (~162 tokens)

Get the whole-category map for a market

Given a market (a vertical slug or name), return the published category overview plus every player IndustryLens tracks in that market — the whole-CATEGORY map, not a self-selected competitor set. Returns the hub (title, abstract, tldr, hero_stats, url), the deduped list of players (name, domain, business_model), and `market_news` — the latest weekly market summary (narrative, top topics, new entrants, topic momentum, source URLs). Returns { covered: false } for markets IndustryLens doesn't publicly track. Use list_markets to discover slugs.
