## 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 check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1677 tokens (~239/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 37/100
  - Stability observed for 11 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 7 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**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (7)

### `tradegauge_search_players` (~192 tokens)

Search players by name

Find players (and rookie picks) by name and get their current dynasty market value, positional rank, and tier.

USE WHEN: you need to resolve a name before grading a trade, or the user asks what someone is worth.
Returns several candidates when the name is ambiguous — pick the right one rather than guessing.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Value set to use. Default 'dynasty'. IMPORTANT: there is exactly ONE dynasty table and its QB values are superflex/market-weighted — dynasty values are not split by 1QB vs superflex or by scoring. Th…
- `limit` (integer): Max results (default 8).
- `query` (string, required): Player name or fragment — 'Bijan', 'Marvin Harrison', '2026 1st'. Partial names are fine.

### `tradegauge_get_league_activity` (~188 tokens)

Get Sleeper trades and free agents

Read completed trades from a Sleeper league and identify the highest-value players currently unrostered.
USE WHEN: the user asks what their league has paid, wants recent trade history, waiver targets, or replacement-level context.
Read-only: nothing is posted to Sleeper.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Value set to use. Default 'dynasty'. IMPORTANT: there is exactly ONE dynasty table and its QB values are superflex/market-weighted — dynasty values are not split by 1QB vs superflex or by scoring. Th…
- `league_id` (string, required): Sleeper league ID.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum completed trades to return (default 15).
- `week` (integer): One NFL week. Omit to scan weeks 1–18.

### `tradegauge_get_player_value` (~182 tokens)

Get one player's value and trade comparables

Full detail for a single player: market value, overall and positional rank, tier, age, and the players closest to them in value.

USE WHEN: the user asks what one player is worth, or wants realistic trade targets at a comparable price.
The comparables list is the practical answer to 'what could I get for him' — players inside the even band trade roughly one-for-one.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Value set to use. Default 'dynasty'. IMPORTANT: there is exactly ONE dynasty table and its QB values are superflex/market-weighted — dynasty values are not split by 1QB vs superflex or by scoring. Th…
- `player` (string, required): Full player name, e.g. 'Bijan Robinson'.

### `tradegauge_evaluate_trade` (~307 tokens)

Grade a trade

Grade a dynasty or redraft trade of any size using current market values. Returns a WIN / EVEN / LOSE verdict, the value total for each side, and structural context the raw chart misses (consolidation, best player in the deal, pick-heavy sides).

USE WHEN: the user asks whether a trade is fair, who wins a deal, or what they should add to even it out.
Pass player names as the user said them — the tool resolves them and tells you if a name was ambiguous or unknown.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Value set to use. Default 'dynasty'. IMPORTANT: there is exactly ONE dynasty table and its QB values are superflex/market-weighted — dynasty values are not split by 1QB vs superflex or by scoring. Th…
- `label_a` (string): Name for side A (default 'Side A').
- `label_b` (string): Name for side B (default 'Side B').
- `league_size` (integer): League team count, 8–16 (default 12). Used only for the transparent roster-spot adjustment.
- `side_a` (array, required): Players/picks one manager gives up, by name — e.g. ['Bijan Robinson', '2026 2nd'].
- `side_b` (array, required): Players/picks the other manager gives up, by name.

### `tradegauge_get_rankings` (~185 tokens)

Get value rankings

Top players by current market value, overall or filtered to one position (QB/RB/WR/TE, or PICK for rookie draft picks).

USE WHEN: the user asks for rankings, tiers, 'who are the top dynasty WRs', or wants to find trade targets in a value range.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Value set to use. Default 'dynasty'. IMPORTANT: there is exactly ONE dynasty table and its QB values are superflex/market-weighted — dynasty values are not split by 1QB vs superflex or by scoring. Th…
- `limit` (integer): How many to return (default 25).
- `position` (string): Filter to one position. 'PICK' returns rookie draft picks. Omit for overall.

### `tradegauge_get_value_movers` (~140 tokens)

Get recent value movers

Players whose dynasty market value has moved most recently — risers and fallers, with the size of the move.

USE WHEN: the user asks who is trending up or down, wants buy-low or sell-high candidates, or asks what changed in the market.
Movement is measured against a recent market baseline, not a fixed window, so treat it as 'what the market has repriced lately'.

Input parameters:

- `direction` (string): Risers, fallers, or both by absolute move (default 'both').
- `limit` (integer): How many to return (default 15).
- `position` (string): Filter to one position.

### `tradegauge_get_league_roster` (~286 tokens)

Value a Sleeper league

Pull real rosters from a Sleeper league and price every team with current market values: total roster value, league power ranking, and each team's best assets.

USE WHEN: the user mentions their Sleeper league or asks about their own team — 'is my team contending', 'who should I trade', 'what is my roster worth'.
Call with `sleeper_username` alone to list the user's leagues, then again with the chosen `league_id`. Read-only: nothing is written to Sleeper and no login is needed.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Value set to use. Default 'dynasty'. IMPORTANT: there is exactly ONE dynasty table and its QB values are superflex/market-weighted — dynasty values are not split by 1QB vs superflex or by scoring. Th…
- `league_id` (string): Sleeper league ID. Returns every team in the league, valued and ranked.
- `season` (string): Season year, e.g. '2026'. Defaults to the current season.
- `sleeper_username` (string): Sleeper username. Use this when the user has not given a league ID.
- `team` (string): Focus on one team by manager display name or team name; full roster is listed.
