Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 Security63

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 6 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 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 Usability81

100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
Tool/resource definitions use about 894 tokens (~99/item across 9 items; 6 tools + 3 resources), lean.Pass
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 Coverage88

100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
63% 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 — 6 exposed · ~742 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

aggregates ~181

Summary stats over the filtered set: totals, branch split, most-active officials, top tickers bought/sold (per individual stock), top sectors bought/sold, potential conflict count, date range. Accepts the same branch/role/since/until/type/ticker filters as search — pass branch=congress + role=Senate + since=YYYY-MM-DD to scope. Use this BEFORE paginating search_trades when you only need ranked counts.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
