## 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 2026-08-03.

- **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**: 74/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1950 tokens (~325/item across 6 items; 4 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `livonian_search` (~669 tokens)

Search the Livonian dictionary

Look a word up in the real Livonian–Estonian–Latvian dictionary and return only
attested content, so translations are grounded, not invented.

Search a meaning (in English/Latvian/Estonian) to find the Livonian headword, or a
Livonian word to confirm it exists and read its sense, part of speech and examples.
See the `query` and `search_language` parameter docs for how to phrase a query. By
default each match's full inflection table is returned inline, so one call usually
suffices; on a broad query only the first N tables expand (the rest are listed as
handles to fetch with livonian_get_inflections). Returns Markdown plus the same result as
structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema.

Results are cached server-side, so repeating a query is instant and free; a
first-time query reaches the live dictionary and calls are rate limited — on a
rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry instead of re-issuing immediately.
Dictionary content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).

Input parameters:

- `include_forms` (boolean): When true (default), each match's full inflection table is returned INLINE — usable cases/tenses in ONE call, no follow-up livonian_get_inflections. Set false to get just the headword handles + gloss…
- `max_forms`: Optional override for how many inflection tables to expand this call (0–12). Raise it to pull more tables in ONE call on a broad query, or set a small value to keep a broad query cheap. On an uncache…
- `query` (string, required): A SINGLE content word, not a phrase. Exactly one word per call — even with several candidates or synonyms in mind, search them one at a time ('see', then 'look'), never combined into one query like '…
- `search_language`: Language your query word is in — selects which language the search matches against: 'eng' (default), 'liv', 'lat', or 'est'. For English→Livonian translation, keep 'eng'. Glosses are in English.

Output parameters:

- `entries` (array): Structured dictionary entries: headword, pronunciation, part of speech, paradigm anchors, and senses with example sentences.
- `forms_truncated` (integer): How many handles did NOT get an inline table because the per-search cap was reached. Refine the query or call livonian_get_inflections.
- `found` (boolean): False when nothing matched.
- `handles` (array)
- `language`
- `query` (string)
- `resolved_from` (string): The original inflected query when search_method='lemma_index'; empty on a direct match.
- `resolved_lemma` (string): The dictionary lemma actually searched when search_method='lemma_index'; empty on a direct match.
- `search_method` (string): How the match was found: 'direct' = the query itself matched; 'lemma_index' = the query was an inflected Livonian form, resolved to its dictionary lemma via the cached paradigm index and re-searched.
- `source` (string)

### `livonian_get_inflections` (~406 tokens)

Get Livonian inflection table

Fetch the full declension (nouns) or conjugation (verbs) table for a word
identified by a search result's inflection handle (entry_id + word_class) — the
exact case, number, tense, not a guessed ending. Use this only when a search ran
without inline forms, or to fetch a match a broad search left un-expanded. Never a
first call — the handle values only come from livonian_search results, and a
default search already returns each match's table inline, so calling this
afterwards just re-fetches what you have.

Returns Markdown — a nominal gets one case × {singular, plural} table; a verb gets a table
per mood/tense (person × {affirmative, negative}, the negation auxiliary folded
into the negative) plus its principal-parts and participle lists — or a clean
not-found message. (Grammatical labels are normalised to English; Livonian forms
stay verbatim.) The same table rides along as structuredContent with the shape
{"result": <paradigm>} per the declared outputSchema — switch on
result.category ('nominal' | 'verbal' | 'not_found') before reading the body.
Results are cached server-side (repeats are instant) and
calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry.
Table content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).

Input parameters:

- `entry_id` (required): The word id from a search result's inflection handle. Accepts a number or a digit-string (e.g. 17746 or "17746").
- `word_class` (string, required): The word-class code from a search result's inflection handle (e.g. 's' = noun, 'adj' = adjective, 'vi' = intransitive verb, 'vt' = transitive verb).

Output parameters:

- `result`

### `livonian_romanize` (~216 tokens)

Romanize Livonian to clean ASCII

Strip Livonian orthography down to clean, pronounceable ASCII for an
English-trained downstream (a voice/TTS, a search box). See the `text` parameter
doc for the exact letter mappings. Returns Markdown plus the romanized output as
structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema. Pure local transform: no
dictionary lookup, no network, and the output is always ASCII.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): Livonian text to reduce to clean, pronounceable ASCII. Strips macrons, diacritics and capitals (ā→aa, š→sh, õ→u), softens a palatalized consonant (ņ ļ ŗ ţ ḑ) only before a vowel (ņ+a→nya, else ikšigg…

Output parameters:

- `text` (string): The romanized ASCII output.

### `livonian_deromanize` (~226 tokens)

Find the Livonian word(s) matching a romanized spelling

Find the real Livonian word(s) whose pronunciation-romanization matches this
clean-ASCII input — the inverse direction of `livonian_romanize`. Because
romanize is lossy, this is a LOOKUP against the words already in the dictionary
cache: attested spellings come back as source=dictionary. If none match, a single
best-effort reconstruction is returned (source=reconstruction, approximate=true) —
a guess, not attested. Coverage grows as words are cached, so an identical query
may return a reconstruction now and a dictionary hit later.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): Romanized (clean-ASCII) Livonian text to resolve back to real orthography. Returns the attested dictionary spelling(s) whose romanization matches (source=dictionary, exact) — several may match one am…

Output parameters:

- `approximate` (boolean)
- `candidates` (array)
