## 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**: 80/100
  - 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 892 tokens (~178/item across 5 items; 5 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**: 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (5)

### `validate_eori` (~102 tokens)

Validate an EORI number

Structural check of an EORI number and, when the EU EOS provider is configured, an authoritative existence check. Provider outage or unknown status returns 'unavailable'/'needs_review', never a false 'invalid'. Structural validity is not proof of customs authorisation. Read-only preflight; not customs/tax/legal advice, not a customs decision or clearance.

Input parameters:

- `eori` (string): An EORI number, e.g. "BE0123456749".

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `capability`
- `data` (object)
- `decision` (string)
- `decisionCategory` (string)
- `generatedAt` (string)
- `limitations` (array)
- `product`
- `provenance` (object)
- `receipt`
- `receiptEnvelope` (object)
- `retryable` (boolean)
- `schemaVersion`

### `search_taric_codes` (~147 tokens)

Search candidate TARIC classifications

From a plain-language product description, return CANDIDATE TARIC/CN codes from a dated TARIC snapshot, ranked with the evidence used. Returns 'needs_review' (candidates to confirm) or 'unavailable' when no snapshot is provisioned — never an invented code. Classifications/measures are CANDIDATES for a declarant to confirm; only a BTI binds. TARIC carries no national VAT/excise — those are separate. Every result carries its source, retrieval time and validity window.

Input parameters:

- `knownProperties` (array): Optional known attributes (material, use, form).
- `productDescription` (string): Plain-language description of the good.

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `capability`
- `data` (object)
- `decision` (string)
- `decisionCategory` (string)
- `generatedAt` (string)
- `limitations` (array)
- `product`
- `provenance` (object)
- `receipt`
- `receiptEnvelope` (object)
- `retryable` (boolean)
- `schemaVersion`

### `check_eu_import_measures` (~214 tokens)

Check EU import measures for a classification

For a candidate TARIC code + origin, list EU-level import measures from a dated snapshot: third-country duty, tariff preferences, prohibitions/restrictions, surveillance. A restriction hit is a 'not_ready' signal to review, not a legal determination; compound/unknown measures return 'needs_review'; no snapshot → 'unavailable'. Classifications/measures are CANDIDATES for a declarant to confirm; only a BTI binds. TARIC carries no national VAT/excise — those are separate. Every result carries its source, retrieval time and validity window.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string): Candidate TARIC/CN code.
- `date` (string): ISO date to evaluate (defaults to today).
- `destinationCountry` (string): ISO alpha-2 EU destination.
- `goodsValueEur` (number): Customs value in EUR (optional).
- `itemCount` (integer): Number of items (optional).
- `originCountry` (string): ISO alpha-2 country of origin.

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `capability`
- `data` (object)
- `decision` (string)
- `decisionCategory` (string)
- `generatedAt` (string)
- `limitations` (array)
- `product`
- `provenance` (object)
- `receipt`
- `receiptEnvelope` (object)
- `retryable` (boolean)
- `schemaVersion`

### `estimate_low_value_import_cost` (~223 tokens)

Estimate low-value import cost

Estimate the landed cost for a low-value consignment (intrinsic value ≤ EUR 150) to an EU state on a given date: EUR 150 duty relief until 2026-06-30, then the temporary EUR 3-per-item duty from 2026-07-01, plus destination import VAT. All amounts are candidates; missing data is returned as 'missing', never guessed. TARIC carries no national VAT/excise — those are separate. Every result carries its source, retrieval time and validity window.

Input parameters:

- `asOfDate` (string): ISO date that selects the duty regime.
- `currency` (string): ISO 4217 currency of the values.
- `destinationCountry` (string): ISO alpha-2 EU destination.
- `destinationVatRatePercent` (number): Destination VAT rate % (optional).
- `iossUsed` (boolean): Whether IOSS is used for VAT (optional).
- `items` (array): The consignment items.
- `originCountry` (string): ISO alpha-2 origin (optional).

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `capability`
- `data` (object)
- `decision` (string)
- `decisionCategory` (string)
- `generatedAt` (string)
- `limitations` (array)
- `product`
- `provenance` (object)
- `receipt`
- `receiptEnvelope` (object)
- `retryable` (boolean)
- `schemaVersion`

### `prepare_import_preflight_receipt` (~129 tokens)

Prepare an import-preflight receipt

Bundle the preflight checks (EORI, candidate classification, measures, cost) into one idempotent Ed25519-signed receipt committing to the inputs, sources, retrieval times and validity dates — provable evidence of WHAT was checked and WHEN. Attests the checks, not a compliance or clearance outcome. Read-only preflight; not customs/tax/legal advice, not a customs decision or clearance.

Input parameters:

- `bundle` (object, required): The preflight results to attest (EORI/classification/measures/cost).
- `createdAt` (string, required): ISO timestamp the bundle was assembled.

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `capability`
- `data` (object)
- `decision` (string)
- `decisionCategory` (string)
- `generatedAt` (string)
- `limitations` (array)
- `product`
- `provenance` (object)
- `receipt`
- `receiptEnvelope` (object)
- `retryable` (boolean)
- `schemaVersion`
