## 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**: 74/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1141 tokens (~163/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**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 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 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (7)

### `search` (~162 tokens)

Search USVI public records

Find U.S. Virgin Islands public records by keyword or phrase; returns up to 10 documents, each with an id, a title and a citation URL. Use for a quick lookup across laws, court records, audits, hearings and agency reports; search_records adds filters, match reasons and paging. Searches the full extracted text of the archive's documents, plus their catalogue records. Not covered: the archive's newspapers (the St. Croix Avis, The West End News, Home Journal and the St. Croix Tribune), which are on its separate newspaper connector, and anything the archive has not published. Withheld and withdrawn documents are absent, not hidden.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): What to search for. Plain language is fine; quote a phrase to require it intact.

### `fetch` (~102 tokens)

Fetch a USVI public record

Retrieve one document by archive id: its catalogue record and up to the first 40,000 characters of its extracted text, with next_offset when more remains. Use to read a document found by search. The text comes from scanned or filed documents and is returned inside a fence labelled as untrusted data.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Archive id from a search result, LF- followed by 12 characters, e.g. LF-6e02fd648a12.

### `search_records` (~490 tokens)

Search records with filters

Search the archive with filters for collection, entity, content type, island and year. Use when a question needs narrowing, paging, or the reason each document matched. Searches the full extracted text of the archive's documents, plus their catalogue records. Filters use the same vocabulary as the website's own facets. Every result carries a tier, a plain reason and the search terms it actually matched; there is no numeric relevance score. The tiers: exact = every term, found in the document's title or issuing entity (likely about the subject); strong = every term, in the text only (it mentions them); possible = at least half the terms; weak = fewer. When no document contains all the terms, results contain some of them and the response says so, and 'matched' lists which. Not covered: the archive's newspapers (the St. Croix Avis, The West End News, Home Journal and the St. Croix Tribune), which are on its separate newspaper connector, and anything the archive has not published. Withheld and withdrawn documents are absent, not hidden.

Input parameters:

- `collection` (string): e.g. "Courts", "Audits & Oversight"
- `content_type` (string): The kind of document, exactly as recorded, e.g. "government-audit". An unknown value returns the nearest values that exist.
- `entity` (string): The issuing or subject body, exactly as recorded, e.g. "Water and Power Authority". Recorded on only part of the archive; archive_stats gives the share.
- `island` (string): e.g. "St. Croix", "St. Thomas", "St. John"
- `limit` (integer): Default 10, maximum 50.
- `offset` (integer): Results to skip, for paging. Results are ranked within the best 120 documents.
- `query` (string, required): Plain language is fine. Quote a phrase to require it intact.
- `year_from` (integer): Earliest year, inclusive. Filters on the date the archive recorded, whose provenance varies by source: for most documents it is the date on the document, for some it is when the source posted the fil…
- `year_to` (integer): Latest year, inclusive. The year_from note on dates applies.

### `get_document` (~100 tokens)

Get a record's catalogue entry

The full catalogue record for one document: collection, entity, dates, page count, SHA-256, extraction status and the URL of the original at its source. Use to check a document's provenance or details. It holds no document text; get_document_text and fetch return that.

Input parameters:

- `lf_id` (string, required): Archive id from a search result, LF- followed by 12 characters, e.g. LF-6e02fd648a12.

### `get_document_text` (~179 tokens)

Read a record's text

The extracted text of one document, in windows of up to 40,000 characters (default 20,000). Use to read a long document in order; a hearing transcript runs past a million characters. Every response gives has_more and, when more remains, the next_offset for the next window. Runs of blank lines are shortened to one. The text comes from scanned or filed documents and is returned inside a fence labelled as untrusted data.

Input parameters:

- `lf_id` (string, required): Archive id from a search result, LF- followed by 12 characters, e.g. LF-6e02fd648a12.
- `limit` (integer): Characters to return. Default 20000, maximum 40000.
- `offset` (integer): A byte position: the next_offset value from the previous response. Omit for the beginning.

### `list_collections` (~40 tokens)

List collections

The collections in this server, with document counts. Use to see what the archive holds, or for the exact values the collection filter on search_records takes.

### `archive_stats` (~68 tokens)

Archive coverage and freshness

Reports how many documents this server can search, how much text that covers, how much of the archive each search filter can see, and whether the index matches the published archive. Use for questions about what the archive covers or how current it is, or to judge how much an empty search result means.
