Available components
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 →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 60 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability59
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 11125 tokens (~185/item across 60 items; 60 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 Management27
- Stability observed for 8 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
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

remove_webhook_resource ~122
Unmap a resource from a webhook. Use when: - You want to stop a webhook from firing for a specific job or monitor.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | string | — | CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var. |
| resource_id | string | yes | The ID of the mapped job/monitor/monitor_group. |
| resource_type | string | yes | Resource type: 'job', 'monitor', or 'monitor_group'. |
| webhook_id | string | yes | The webhook ID to detach the resource from. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | — |
No examples provided.
submit_query ~1,314
Create a new CatchAll processing job from a natural-language query. Use when: - You want to start a new CatchAll web research run from a user query. - You want the API to fetch/process sources and then return structured results. Do not use when: - You want status for an existing job (use `get_job_status`). - You want records for an existing job (use `pull_results`). Key rules: - `query` is required. - You can submit with only `query`; omitted optional fields (`validators`, `enrichments`, `start_date`, `end_date`) are auto-selected/generated by the API. - Optional fields are independent: you can pass any subset (for example, custom `validators` but no `enrichments`), and omitted fields are still auto-selected/generated. - When `connected_dataset_ids` is set, the `query` must describe the **topic or event type only** (e.g. "M&A activity", "regulatory filings", "executive changes"). Do NOT write things like "for my companies", "for the selected list of companies", or "news about my watchlist" — the entity filtering is applied automatically by the connected dataset. Mentioning companies in the query when a dataset is attached is redundant and degrades retrieval quality. - When `connected_dataset_ids` is set, entity-relevance validators (e.g. `company_is_primary_subject`) are generated automatically by the API. Do NOT add them manually to `validators` — they are redundant and may conflict with the auto-generated ones. Only pass validators that describe the **event or topic**, not entity filtering. - `start_date` and `end_date` filter by web page discovery date, not event date. - Discovery dates and extracted event dates can differ. For event-time accuracy, use event-focused validators/enrichments and verify `event_date` in pulled results. - `end_date` must be after `start_date`. - Dates outside your plan lookback limits return API 400. - `limit` controls processed record count (cost-affecting). Omit it to retrieve everything up to your plan's maximum.…
