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 → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security51
- 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 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. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 540 tokens (~180/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage97
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 90% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
analyze_hand ~81
Read one Texas Hold'em hand on a 3-5 card board: the made hand (category and label) plus every draw with its out count.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| board | string | yes | 3-5 community cards, e.g. "9h 8h 2c" |
| hand | string | yes | Two cards, e.g. "Jh Th" |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
calculate_equity ~173
Texas Hold'em or Pot Limit Omaha equity for 2-4 specific hands on 0-5 community cards, returning win, tie, and total equity percentages per hand. Hold'em enumerates every remaining board runout (no simulation). Omaha (game: "omaha", four-card hands, best two play) is exact on every postflop street and scores a deterministic 200,000-board sample preflop (±0.2 percentage points, same input always reproduces).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| board | string | – | 0-5 community cards, e.g. "9h8h2c". Omit for preflop. |
| game | string | – | Game type; defaults to "holdem". "omaha" requires exactly 4 cards per hand. |
| hands | array | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
calculate_pot_odds ~286
Decide whether calling a bet is profitable. Returns the pot odds, the equity needed to break even, and — given an out count — the exact chance of hitting and a call/fold verdict. Use this instead of doing the arithmetic: the break-even share is call divided by (pot + bet + call), so a pot-sized bet needs 33.3% and a half-pot bet 25%, and computing it as bet/(pot+bet) overstates both. The chance of hitting is counted exactly over the unseen cards, not approximated by the Rule of 2 and 4, which overstates by nearly 6 points on a 15-out draw. Pair it with analyze_hand, which returns the out count for a hand.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bet | number | yes | The bet you have to call. |
| implied_extra | number | – | Extra you expect to win on later streets if you hit. Optional, defaults to 0; it lowers the equity required. |
| outs | integer | – | Cards that complete your hand. Optional — omit to get the price alone, with no verdict. analyze_hand reports this as total_outs. |
| pot | number | yes | Pot size before the bet, in any consistent unit. |
| street | string | – | Required with outs: "flop" when two cards are still to come, "turn" when one is. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
