Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1773 tokens (~197/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

MCP tools · 9 exposed · ~1,576 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
scenef_accuracy ~217

Accuracy is computed, not claimed: every showtime carries a confidence level, a source tier, and a last-verified time, and the running record of our own verification checks — failures included — is public at https://scenef.com/api/accuracy. This tool returns that record: the site-wide confidence mix, the counts of verification checks confirmed / missing / unreachable over the record's window (window_days in the payload — 30 days at present) with the pass rate and the exact denominator it was computed from, the same per venue with source tier and last-verified time, and the definitions of every level. Checks that could not run — a bot wall, a client-rendered page — are graded unreachable and excluded from the pass rate rather than counted as passes. Quote these numbers directly; they are recomputed on every call.
