## 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**: 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1368 tokens (~171/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **Tool Coverage**: 83/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 48% 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 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 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 (8)

### `list_specs` (~24 tokens)

List every class/spec available, with the slugs used by the other tools.

### `get_talents` (~82 tokens)

List the selectable talents for a class/spec (id, name, effect description, spell id, sub-tree, hero tree, choices). Call this before generate_build so you know the talent names and what each one does. Use get_spell for the full, freshest detail on any spell id.

Input parameters:

- `class` (string, required)
- `spec` (string, required)

### `generate_build` (~92 tokens)

Produce a valid, importable loadout string for a class/spec. Provide talents to include (by name or id), an optional hero tree, and priority talents to fill remaining points. The solver enforces prerequisites, gates, and budgets.

Input parameters:

- `class` (string, required)
- `hero_tree` (string)
- `include` (array)
- `priorities` (array)
- `spec` (string, required)

### `decode_build` (~40 tokens)

Decode a loadout string into its class/spec and the selected talents, each with its rank and max_ranks.

Input parameters:

- `loadout_string` (string, required)

### `popular_builds` (~182 tokens)

Get the importable loadout that players actually ran to kill a raid boss (or clear an M+ dungeon), aggregated from Warcraft Logs and the M+ leaderboards, for a class/spec. Pass a boss/dungeon name, or a general all-round build for the whole content: "All Bosses" for a raid (set difficulty to normal/heroic/mythic), or "All Dungeons" for M+ (set difficulty to "mythic_plus"). Returns the modal build string, sample size, and per-choice pick frequencies.

Input parameters:

- `class` (string, required)
- `content_name` (string, required): Boss or dungeon name (partial match ok). Use "All Bosses" for the overall raid build, or "All Dungeons" for the overall M+ build.
- `difficulty` (string)
- `spec` (string, required)

### `get_spell` (~69 tokens)

Get the current Blizzard details for a spell — name and full effect description — by spell id (from get_talents) or by name. Data is refreshed daily, so it reflects the live patch rather than stale training data.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string)
- `spell_id` (integer)

### `get_character` (~683 tokens)

Look up a live World of Warcraft character from Blizzard's armory: profile summary (class, spec, level, item level, guild, faction) plus the sections you ask for — gear, talents, stats, M+, raid and dungeon progress, professions, PvP, achievements, collections, and more. Defaults to equipment, talents, stats, mythic_plus. Talents return only the active spec's active loadout: hero tree, the importable talent_loadout_code (pass it to decode_build), and each talent as {node_id, talent_id, name, rank}; set include_inactive_loadouts for every other saved loadout's code. Equipment is compact: equipped item level, then per item slot, name, item level, track (name_description), stats, gems, enchants, spell/proc text, set and bonus_list; set bonuses sit once in equipped_item_sets. mythic_plus returns the current season's rating and the best run per dungeon. raids and dungeons cover the current expansion only, newest release first and Mythic → Raid Finder; use raid_expansions / dungeon_expansions for others. achievements returns a summary (total points, completed count, recent completions, per-category progress); use achievement_category (paged with achievements_limit / achievements_offset) to list completions in one category, or achievement_ids to check specific achievements with criteria progress. achievement_statistics lists its categories; use statistics_category for the values. pets is name/species/level/quality; completed_quests is quest ids. Results are kept under ~20k tokens: anything left out to fit is listed in truncated_sections with the request that fetches it.

Input parameters:

- `achievement_category` (string|integer): With the achievements section: list completed achievements (id, name, completed date, points) in this category and its subcategories, newest first. A category name (e.g. "Midnight Raid") or id; an am…
- `achievement_ids` (array): With the achievements section: completion status and date for each id, plus criteria progress for incomplete ones.
- `achievements_limit` (integer): Page size for achievement_category.
- `achievements_offset` (integer): Skip this many completions in achievement_category (page on has_more).
- `dungeon_expansions`: Dungeon progress to include: "current" (default, the newest expansion), "all", or a list of journal expansion ids.
- `include_cosmetic_slots` (boolean): Also include the shirt and tabard slots in equipment.
- `include_inactive_loadouts` (boolean): Also list every other saved loadout (all specs) as spec + talent_loadout_code.
- `include_mythic_plus_seasons` (boolean): Also list the ids of every M+ season the character has played.
- `name` (string, required): Character name.
- `raid_expansions`: Raid progress to include: "current" (default, the newest expansion), "all", or a list of journal expansion ids.
- `realm` (string, required): Realm name or slug, e.g. "Area 52" or "area-52".
- `region` (string)
- `sections` (array)
- `statistics_category` (string|integer): With the achievement_statistics section: return the statistics in this category (name or id).

### `compare_character` (~196 tokens)

Compare a live character's active talent loadout with the most popular build for their spec (Warcraft Logs raid kills and the Mythic+ leaderboards, current raid tier). By default it compares against the spec's overall build (All Dungeons or All Bosses, the best-sampled first); pass content_name and/or difficulty to pick a dungeon or boss. Returns both loadout strings and hero trees, plus the differences: talents only the character has, talents only the popular build has, and rank and choice differences.

Input parameters:

- `content_name` (string): Boss or dungeon name (partial match ok), or "All Bosses" / "All Dungeons". Omit for the overall build.
- `difficulty` (string)
- `name` (string, required): Character name.
- `realm` (string, required): Realm name or slug, e.g. "Area 52" or "area-52".
- `region` (string)
