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 Security46
- 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 5 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
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1273 tokens (~254/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 18 Oct 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
calculate_cubic_weight Work out the chargeable weight of a parcel ~145
Carriers charge on whichever is greater, actual weight or cubic (volumetric) weight, so a light bulky parcel costs far more than its scale weight suggests. Give the dimensions and actual weight and this returns the cubic weight under each common convention and which weight you would be charged on. Use it before quoting so the weight you pass to a quote tool is the one that will actually be billed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| height_cm | number | yes | Height in centimetres. |
| length_cm | number | yes | Longest side in centimetres. |
| weight_kg | number | yes | Actual weight on the scales, in kilograms. |
| width_cm | number | yes | Width in centimetres. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_goods_categories List the goods categories Easyship accepts ~68
Returns the exact goods categories the commercial rate source will accept. These are a fixed list, not free text: plausible-sounding values like 'general' or 'others' are rejected outright. Call this if a quote came back with a category error, or to pick the closest match before quoting.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
lookup_au_postcode Look up an Australian postcode or suburb ~122
Resolve an Australian postcode to its suburbs and state, or a suburb name to its postcode. Works in both directions. Use it to validate an address before quoting, or when a suburb name is ambiguous because the same name exists in several states.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | An Australian postcode such as 3000, or a suburb name such as Carlton. |
| state | string | – | Optional state filter: NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT or ACT. Supply it when a suburb name exists in more than one state. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
quote_domestic_au Quote an Australian domestic parcel ~336
Live shipping prices for a parcel sent WITHIN Australia, from two independent sources at once: Australia Post retail (PAC) and Easyship's pre-negotiated commercial courier panel. Returns every service with price, currency and transit time where available, cheapest first, plus a note on why the two sources are not directly comparable. Use when asked what it costs to send a parcel between Australian postcodes, or which courier is cheapest for a given weight and route.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Optional goods category, needed by Easyship. One of: accessory_no_battery, accessory_with_battery, audio_video, bags_luggages, books_collectibles, cameras, computers_laptops, documents, dry_food_supp… |
| from_postcode | string | yes | Origin Australian postcode, e.g. '3000'. |
| height_cm | number | – | Optional. Defaults to 10. |
| length_cm | number | – | Optional. Defaults to 30. |
| to_postcode | string | yes | Destination Australian postcode, e.g. '2000'. |
| value_aud | number | – | Optional declared value in AUD. Defaults to 100. Does not affect domestic price, only insurance options. |
| weight_kg | number | yes | Parcel weight in kilograms. AusPost caps domestic parcels at 22kg. |
| width_cm | number | – | Optional. Defaults to 22. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
quote_international_from_au Quote a parcel sent from Australia overseas ~363
Live shipping prices for a parcel sent FROM Australia to another country, from Australia Post retail (PAC) and, where it can quote, Easyship's commercial panel. Returns each service with price and currency. Use when asked what it costs to post something overseas from Australia. Note that AusPost international prices are retail and exclude any destination duty or tax, which the recipient pays.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Optional goods category for Easyship. One of: accessory_no_battery, accessory_with_battery, audio_video, bags_luggages, books_collectibles, cameras, computers_laptops, documents, dry_food_supplements… |
| country_code | string | yes | ISO-2 destination country code, e.g. 'US', 'GB', 'NZ', 'SG'. |
| from_postcode | string | – | Optional origin Australian postcode, used for the Easyship leg. Defaults to '3000'. |
| hs_code | string | – | Optional HS tariff code. More specific than category and matters for destination duty. Supplying this overrides category. |
| to_city | string | – | Optional destination city. Some couriers will not quote without it. |
| to_postcode | string | – | Optional destination postal code. Improves commercial-panel accuracy; ignored by AusPost. |
| to_state | string | – | Optional destination state or province code. |
| value_aud | number | – | Optional declared customs value in AUD. Defaults to 100. |
| weight_kg | number | yes | Parcel weight in kilograms. AusPost caps international parcels at 20kg. |
No output schema declared.
