## 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 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 562 tokens (~187/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability observed for 9 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (3)

### `list_countries` (~47 tokens)

List the 24 countries InfectRisk covers, with their English and German names and the surveillance source behind each one. Scope is aggregated public surveillance data only, never case numbers or personal risk.

### `get_infection_activity` (~141 tokens)

Return the current respiratory illness activity (influenza, COVID-19, RSV) for one country as a qualitative level plus direction, reported week, data date, age of that data and source. Returns no incidence numbers, no case counts and no personal risk assessment, and it is not medical advice. When `stale` is true the source has not published recently; say so instead of reporting the level as current.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Country slug, for example germany, usa or uk. Use list_countries for the full set.
- `locale` (string): Language of the human readable labels and the summary sentence. Defaults to en.

### `list_outbreaks` (~163 tokens)

List the outbreak notifications InfectRisk tracks (WHO Disease Outbreak News, ECDC and news consensus): disease, affected region, lifecycle status, WHO link, a plain language brief and the page a reader can open. Case figures are included only for outbreaks whose public pages already show them, reproduced as reported and never verified by InfectRisk. Separate dataset from the respiratory activity tools; it carries no incidence numbers and no personal risk assessment.

Input parameters:

- `locale` (string): Language of the disease name, region and brief. Defaults to en.
- `status` (string): Which part of the lifecycle to list. "active" covers acute events and those without a recent report, "past" the ones declared over, "standing" the permanent WHO topics. Defaults to active.
