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 Security66
  • 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 13 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
  • The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
  • DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1802 tokens (~138/item across 13 items; 13 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 Coverage90
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 70% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 13 exposed · ~1,679 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens
get_dataset_stats ~48

Discover what data is available before querying: date ranges, contract counts, symbol counts and sector coverage for the unusual-activity dataset and its daily aggregates. Call this first when unsure about available history.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_expiry_concentration ~112

Where the day's unusual premium sits along the expiry axis, in DTE buckets (0-7, 8-30, 31-90, 90+) with call/put splits. Heavy short-dated premium reads as event bets; heavy long-dated as positioning.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_flow_history ~146

End-of-day series of one symbol's UNUSUAL options flow (aggregated from the contracts that passed the unusual filter - not the full tape): daily call/put volume, premium, C/P ratios, average IV, net delta and the consecutive-day streak. ~75 trading days - the series behind back-tests and 'how has unusual flow on NVDA developed?'
