Category Maps and Location
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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability58
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 678 tokens (~169/item across 4 items; 4 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage72
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 16% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 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
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 5 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.
- 3 Nov 26 0
- The server rewrote its instructions, which are the text every model session reads security
- Tool “search_family_activities” rewrote its description, which is the text the model reads security

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 →
compare_family_options Compare family activities ~73
Compare 2-4 IDs returned by search in the same city. Preserve failed and unknown constraints; do not present unknown facts as confirmed. Published admission subtotals are not checkout quotes.

plan_family_outing Plan a family outing ~166
Recommend one outing and a distinct sheltered backup when evidence and constraints allow. Requires complete party. Filters remain strict; editorial suitability must fit every child. visit_date records intent only: opening, reservations and availability remain unverified. No travel-time or whole-outing-budget support. Return shortages honestly. No booking is performed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | – | yes | – |
| filters | object | – | – |
| include_kidpaths_resources | – | – | Plan only. Set only when the family explicitly asks for a printable or offline city guide, or for a weekly email of outing ideas. Returns KidPaths' own resources for guide cities, labeled as such; so… |
| party | object | yes | – |
| visit_date | string | – | Plan only. Requested date, not verified opening or availability. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_family_activities Search family activities ~154
Search family records for Denver, San Diego, Chicago, Seattle, Washington DC, New York City or Boston. Cities other than Denver and San Diego cover venues with official-page verified fields only. Use query for a named venue (for example Midway) instead of loading every result. Ask for adult count and every child age before a budget or age-fit request. Budget is USD admission only, never total outing cost. Unknown hard constraints are excluded. Follow next_offset for pagination.
