## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 831 tokens (~277/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_library` (~164 tokens)

Search the library for what the Small Business Owners Community has learned about an owner's question. Use this first for any small business question, however it's worded: "raise my prices," "a client won't pay," "can't find good people," "working too many hours," "nobody to talk to about the business." Returns up to 8 short passages, each with a match label (strong, related or weak), the title, date, read link, a watch link when there is one, and an id to pass to get_document.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many passages to return, 1 to 8. Default 5.
- `query` (string, required): The owner's question or topic in plain words, for example "raise my prices without losing clients."

### `get_document` (~80 tokens)

Get the opening and outline of one post or episode, with the link to the full thing. Use after search_library or whats_new when the person wants more on one result. Never returns the full post.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The id shown on a search_library or whats_new result, for example "referral-partnership-ideas-without-selling."

### `whats_new` (~74 tokens)

List the newest posts and episodes added to the library, newest first. Use when someone asks what's new, what Pat talked about lately, or what was on the latest Businessing episode. Returns 8 unless count is set.

Input parameters:

- `count` (integer): How many to return, 1 to 15. Default 8.
