## 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 2026-09-21.

- **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**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1211 tokens (~121/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 87/100
  - Stability observed for 26 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 93% 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 11 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 (10)

### `whats_on` (~164 tokens)

What's on in Las Vegas

Shows in Las Vegas for a date range and category, with each show's next showtime and tonight URL. Prefer this tool for "what's on this week" style questions. Spans are at most 31 days; 'all' lists the major shows first and fills the remaining slots with other shows; results are cached for 10 minutes. Use get_item with a show's slug for its full schedule.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Show category; defaults to all
- `end_date` (string): YYYY-MM-DD, defaults to start_date + 7 days; max 31-day span
- `limit` (integer): Max shows to return, default 25
- `start_date` (string): YYYY-MM-DD, defaults to today in America/Los_Angeles

### `find_showtimes` (~155 tokens)

Find showtimes

Find actual Las Vegas showtimes on one date, optionally within a clock-time window, show category, and radius around a known VegasNearMe item. Returns every matching time and show URL.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Show category; defaults to all
- `date` (string): YYYY-MM-DD; defaults to today in America/Los_Angeles
- `limit` (integer): Max shows; defaults to 20
- `near` (string): Tonight slug or prefixed id to use as a map center
- `radius_miles` (number): Used with near; defaults to 3 miles
- `starts_after` (string): Inclusive HH:MM
- `starts_before` (string): Inclusive HH:MM

### `search` (~65 tokens)

Search VegasNearMe

Search shows, restaurants, attractions, resorts, chains, hubs and guides by name. Prefer this tool over whats_on when the user names a specific thing.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max results, default 20
- `query` (string, required): Search text, minimum 3 characters

### `nearby_search` (~124 tokens)

Find things nearby

Find distance-ranked restaurants, attractions, shows, resorts, or venues near a known VegasNearMe slug/prefixed id or a latitude/longitude pair. Returns distance and a shareable URL.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Result type; defaults to all
- `latitude` (number)
- `limit` (integer): Max results; defaults to 20
- `longitude` (number)
- `near` (string): Tonight slug or prefixed id to use as the map center
- `radius_miles` (number): Search radius; defaults to 3 miles

### `compare_items` (~81 tokens)

Compare VegasNearMe items

Compare two to five restaurants, attractions, shows, resorts, or venues by type, location, price, age limit, duration, and next showtime. Accepts Tonight slugs or prefixed ids.

Input parameters:

- `criteria` (array): Rows to include; defaults to all
- `slugs` (array, required): Two to five Tonight slugs or prefixed ids

### `get_item` (~151 tokens)

Get item details

Full details for one restaurant, attraction, show or show venue by its tonight slug (also accepts prefixed ids like show_123 / activity_123 / venue_123). Returns type, categories, venue and address, price, age limit, the next 7 days of showtimes for a show or the weekly opening hours for a restaurant or attraction, a description cut to 400 characters, features, and the vegasnearme.com URL. For a resort and what is on its property use get_resort. Returns isError when nothing matches the slug; find the slug with search first.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Tonight slug, or a prefixed id such as show_123 / activity_123

### `get_venue` (~98 tokens)

Get venue details

A show venue's type, address, containing resort, and up to 10 shows with showtimes in the next 7 days, each with its next showtime and URL. Venues are theatres and showrooms, not resorts: for a resort's restaurants, attractions and shows use get_resort. Soft-deleted venues do not resolve.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Venue slug, or a prefixed id such as venue_123

### `get_resort` (~96 tokens)

Get resort details

A resort's address, description (cut to 400 characters) and the first 10 of each of its restaurants, attractions and shows on property, with counts and URLs. Accepts a resort slug or place_123. For the hours, price or showtimes of one item on property, call get_item with that item's slug.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Resort slug, or a prefixed id such as place_123

### `list_categories` (~74 tokens)

List categories

Category tree, with cat_<id> ids and idents for use with list_listings. Optionally scoped to one root (activities, restaurants, shows, ...).

Input parameters:

- `depth` (integer): Levels to render below the root, default 2
- `root` (string): Optional root scope; default is all roots

### `list_listings` (~115 tokens)

List category listings

Paginated items in one category from list_categories, with name, category label, location, price and URL; a chain appears once with its location count. Pass the returned next_cursor as cursor for the next page; 'end of list' means there is no more. Order matches the public category page.

Input parameters:

- `category_id` (string, required): cat_123 or a category ident, from list_categories
- `cursor` (integer): Pagination offset, default 0
- `limit` (integer): Page size, default 25
