## 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 2026-10-04.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 80/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 441 tokens (~88/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (5)

### `get_cheapest_venue` (~95 tokens)

Cheapest perp venue for a market order

Venues ranked by measured all-in cost (taker fee + half-spread + price impact) of a perp market buy at the base fee tier, from the newest stored 6-hour order-book sweep. Rows that cannot fill or have unconfirmed depth are listed apart, with the reason.

Input parameters:

- `asset` (string, required): Base asset.
- `size` (integer): Order size in USD. Default 10000.

### `get_venue_fees` (~71 tokens)

Fee schedule of one venue

Base maker and taker rates, the volume fee ladder, leverage and funding terms of one perp venue, each with its source and check date, plus the measured all-in cost of BTC and ETH market buys.

Input parameters:

- `venue` (string, required): Venue slug, for example hyperliquid or binance.

### `get_funding` (~69 tokens)

Current funding rates for one asset

Current perpetual funding rate of one asset on each venue that lists it, normalized to a 1-hour rate, with the venue interval, open interest and price. Rates are fractions: 0.0001 is 0.01%.

Input parameters:

- `asset` (string, required): Asset symbol, for example BTC.

### `get_volume_ranking` (~76 tokens)

Perp volume ranking

CEX and DEX perpetual venues ranked by reported volume and by adjusted volume. Adjusted is the reported figure with held-out venues removed; each hold-out has a dated reason. Measurements, not accusations.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Number of venues. Default 20.
- `window` (string): Default 24h.

### `get_venue_access` (~82 tokens)

Perp venue access by country

For one jurisdiction, what each venue and the local regulator publish about perp access: yes, restricted, unclear or no, with the basis and the sources a person opened. Not legal advice.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Jurisdiction code (us, uk, eu, ca, au, sg, no) or name, for example Norway or United Kingdom.
