## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 4 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 427 tokens (~106/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 43/100
  - Stability observed for 13 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 85/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 54% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "overtime_pay" implies "pay" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `calculate_time_card` (~174 tokens)

Time card hours and overtime

Adds up a time card (up to 14 days, 7 per workweek) from start and end times in 24-hour HH:MM, subtracting unpaid breaks; shifts past midnight are handled. Splits overtime per workweek under US federal law (over 40 hours, 1.5x) or under the daily rules of California, Alaska, Nevada or Colorado, and gives gross pay when an hourly rate is given.

Input parameters:

- `days` (array, required): Days in workweek order; days 1-7 are week 1, 8-14 week 2
- `hourly_rate` (number): US dollars per hour
- `overtime_after_hours` (number): Weekly overtime threshold when no state is given; default 40
- `state` (string): Apply this state's daily overtime rules

### `convert_decimal_hours` (~75 tokens)

Decimal hours converter

Converts hours and minutes (H:MM) to decimal hours, or decimal hours to hours and minutes. 7:45 is 7.75 hours.

Input parameters:

- `decimal_hours` (number): e.g. 7.75
- `hours_minutes` (string): H:MM, e.g. 7:45

### `overtime_pay` (~97 tokens)

Overtime pay

Regular, overtime and double-time pay from an hourly rate and hours. Overtime multiplier defaults to 1.5 (US federal minimum for covered, non-exempt work over 40 hours a week); double time is 2x.

Input parameters:

- `double_time_hours` (number)
- `hourly_rate` (number, required)
- `overtime_hours` (number, required)
- `overtime_multiplier` (number)
- `regular_hours` (number, required)

### `split_tip_pool` (~50 tokens)

Tip pool split by hours

Splits a tip pool by hours worked, rounded to the cent so the shares add up exactly to the total.
