## 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 2026-09-22.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 87/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 509 tokens (~63/item across 8 items; 5 tools + 3 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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.

Search ToolsMonk tools

Find the ToolsMonk tool that solves a described task. Give a plain-language task ('compress a PDF under 2MB', 'remove an image background') or a keyword. Returns ranked matches, each with the URL to open. Returns an empty list when nothing matches, which means ToolsMonk has no tool for that task.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category slug to restrict the search to. Use list_categories for valid values.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results (default 10).
- `query` (string, required): The task or keyword to search for.

### `get_tool` (~66 tokens)

Get one ToolsMonk tool

Return the full record for a single tool by its slug, including the page URL, the embeddable widget URL, and whether the tool processes files in the browser or sends them to a server.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): The tool slug, e.g. "compress-pdf".

### `list_tools` (~71 tokens)
