## 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 2026-08-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 3 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 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**: 78/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 458 tokens (~152/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 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.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-19 (score 65, +1)

- [security] The server rewrote its instructions, which are the text every model session reads
- [security] Tool “verify_license” rewrote its description, which is the text the model reads

### 2026-08-17 (score 64, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-16 (score 63, 0)

### 2026-08-15 (score 63)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `verify_license` (~146 tokens)

Look up a US pest control company in PestPin's state license-record directory (31 states, reprocessed from official regulator sources on a recurring schedule; publication timing varies by regulator). Returns matched businesses with license number, state, status at PestPin's last check, and the official state source link to verify at the regulator. A miss is not proof a company is unlicensed: coverage is 31 states, some businesses are excluded as lawn/ag/government records, and name spellings vary.

Input parameters:

- `company` (string, required): Business name (or license number) to search for
- `state` (string): Optional two-letter US state code to narrow the search, e.g. FL

### `find_licensed_pros` (~160 tokens)

List license-record pest control companies for a US city and pest type from PestPin. Returns up to 8 companies with license numbers and published phone numbers, plus a link to the full list where a homeowner can also send one free request that goes to a single company at a time (never resold). Listings are matched public records, not recommendations; most businesses have not confirmed services or coverage with PestPin.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string, required): City name, e.g. Houston
- `pest` (string): Optional pest type, e.g. termites, bed bugs, rodents, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, wildlife. Defaults to general pest control.
- `state` (string, required): Two-letter US state code, e.g. TX

### `get_pest_cost` (~67 tokens)

US national planning cost range for a pest control service (editorial range, not a quote or measured average), with the factors that move the price. Always advise getting a written local quote.

Input parameters:

- `pest` (string, required): Pest or service, e.g. termite control, bed bugs
