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 Usability62
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1183 tokens (~236/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management33
- Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).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 →
list_trades List trades ~41
List every trade the kit covers with its id, common names it matches, its 2022 NAICS industry code and its job type ids. Static reference.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
review_request_timing Time review requests ~256
Plan when and how a home-service business asks customers for reviews, by trade and job type: what to say at completion, the window for the one written request (with dates when a completion date is given), the moment the customer can first judge the work, and the rules that apply, from Google Maps policy, Yelp, the FTC consumer review rule (16 CFR 465) and the TCPA for texts, each cited with an as-of date. Includes the field-experiment and survey findings the timing rests on. Informational, not legal advice.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| completed_on | string | – | The date the job was finished, YYYY-MM-DD, to get the request window as dates. |
| job_type | string | – | One job type id from list_trades, such as water_heater, replacement or mowing, or a job class (repair, install, project, recurring, emergency, inspection). Leave out to get every job type for the tra… |
| trade | string | yes | The trade: an id from list_trades (plumbing, hvac, electrical, roofing, landscaping, lawn_care, tree_service, pest_control and more) or a common name such as "plumber" or "AC repair". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
seasonal_demand Get seasonal demand ~275
Show the busy and slow months for a home-service trade in a US state, a NOAA climate region (Northeast, Upper Midwest, Ohio Valley, Southeast, Northern Rockies and Plains, South, Southwest, Northwest, West) or the whole country. The month-by-month index is measured from BLS QCEW private-sector employment for the trade's NAICS industry, 2022 to 2024. Beside it: NOAA 1991-2020 monthly temperature, degree day and precipitation normals for the same area, and seasonal drivers for the trade (tune-up seasons, freeze months, hurricane season, lawn fertilization windows, termite swarms and others) where a public source supports them. Every claim carries its source.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| region | string | – | Instead of a state, a NOAA climate region: Northeast, Upper Midwest, Ohio Valley, Southeast, Northern Rockies and Plains, South, Southwest, Northwest, West. |
| state | string | – | A US state: two-letter code (MT) or full name (Montana). |
| trade | string | yes | The trade: an id from list_trades (plumbing, hvac, electrical, roofing, landscaping, lawn_care, tree_service, pest_control and more) or a common name such as "plumber" or "AC repair". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
service_area Map a service area ~254
Work out what a local service business covers. Give a base (a 5-digit ZIP or "City, ST") and a radius in miles, or a list of ZIPs. Returns every ZIP Code Tabulation Area inside it with distance, population, housing units and owner-occupied homes; the cities, towns and Census places inside it; the counties it touches with the population inside the area; totals; and up to 20 candidate areas for a Google Business Profile service area with Google's written rules. Uses Census Gazetteer, relationship-file and ACS 2020-2024 data stored on the server. Distances are straight-line miles, not driving distance.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| base | string | – | Where the business is based: a 5-digit ZIP such as 59901, or a city with its state such as "Kalispell, MT". Use with radius_miles. |
| max_zips | integer | – | How many ZIPs to list (default and maximum 250). Totals always count every ZIP. |
| radius_miles | number | – | Straight-line radius in miles, 1 to 100. |
| zips | array | – | Instead of a base and radius: the ZIPs the business serves. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
trade_service_pages Plan trade service pages ~245
List the standard website page set for a home-service trade: home, services hub, one page per core service with what it must cover, projects, service area, reviews, about, questions and contact, plus location pages for up to 20 cities. Comes with Google's written rules on doorway pages, people-first content, LocalBusiness structured data and business names, each cited. The service taxonomy is curated per trade and mapped to the trade's 2022 NAICS industry.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cities | array | – | Towns the business really serves, for location pages, such as ["Whitefish, MT", "Columbia Falls, MT"]. |
| emergency_service | boolean | – | Whether the business takes emergency or after-hours calls. Defaults to what is typical for the trade. |
| maintenance_plans | boolean | – | Whether the business sells recurring service or maintenance plans. Defaults to what is typical for the trade. |
| trade | string | yes | The trade: an id from list_trades (plumbing, hvac, electrical, roofing, landscaping, lawn_care, tree_service, pest_control and more) or a common name such as "plumber" or "AC repair". |
