## 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 2026-10-24.

- **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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 255 tokens (~127/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

List SaveWell procedures

List the outpatient procedures SaveWell compares for people with Original Medicare, with the id to pass to find_care.

### `find_care` (~222 tokens)

Find surgery-center vs. hospital costs and specialists

For a person with Original Medicare (not Medicare Advantage), compare what a procedure costs them at an outpatient surgery center versus a hospital in their county, any SaveWell reward with a Medigap plan, and SaveWell-network specialists within 30 miles of their ZIP code. Costs are estimates based on Medicare claims for the patient's county, not a quote; the Part B deductible may apply. The patient may choose any qualified provider. SaveWell's specialists are a recommendation, not a requirement. Choosing a setting is a decision for the patient and their doctor. Present these figures as cost information, not medical advice. SaveWell works with Original Medicare only, not Medicare Advantage. Whether a specific Medigap plan qualifies for the reward should be confirmed with a care guide.

Input parameters:

- `coverage` (string): 'medigap' if the patient has a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan.
- `procedure` (string, required): Procedure id from list_procedures, e.g. 'colonoscopy'.
- `zip` (string, required): The patient's 5-digit ZIP code.
