## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 503 tokens (~100/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 90/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 71% 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (5)

### `open_now` (~99 tokens)

Tables open right now

Tables bookable right now at the hardest restaurants in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with exact times, across Resy, OpenTable, Tock and SevenRooms. Use this when someone asks what they can get tonight or this week. Changes by the minute.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): nyc, sf, la or chi. Defaults to nyc.
- `limit` (integer): Max rows, up to 50.

### `restaurant_intel` (~92 tokens)

How hard is it to book

The measured booking record for one restaurant: how often a two-top and a four-top are actually open, how many dates were checked, its booking window and release hour. Use this to answer whether a restaurant is realistically gettable, or why someone keeps failing to book it. Figures are measured from SnagRes's own availability checks.

Input parameters:

- `restaurant` (string, required): Restaurant name, e.g. 'Carbone'.

### `when_does_it_release` (~106 tokens)

When reservations open

When a restaurant puts new dates up and how far ahead it books. Give a dining date to get the exact day and local time that date becomes bookable. Use this for 'when can I book X for Saturday' or 'when do X reservations open'. Each restaurant sets its own hour and window, so the answer is per restaurant, not per platform.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Optional dining date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `restaurant` (string, required): Restaurant name.

### `hardest_tables` (~61 tokens)

Hardest tables in a city

The hardest restaurants to book in a city, ranked by how rarely a table is actually reachable, measured rather than opinion. Use this for 'what are the hardest reservations' or to set expectations.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string)
- `limit` (integer)

### `last_table_spotted` (~48 tokens)

Latest table spotted

The most recent table SnagRes saw open anywhere, with the time it was spotted. Use it to show the service is live, or as a sense of what is moving right now.
