## 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**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 13 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2095 tokens (~161/item across 13 items; 13 tools + 0 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**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% 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 (13)

### `get_service_pricing` (~198 tokens)

Get local service pricing

Typical local price ranges for a US home-service job (e.g. "AC repair",
"furnace replacement").

USE WHEN: the user asks what a service costs / for a price range. Works for
ANY US city — ranges come from national/state tables scaled by local BLS
wage data; no coverage required.

ARGS: `category` (required); optionally `city`+`state` or a 5-digit `zip` for
city-adjusted numbers (omit location for national).

RETURNS: ranges [{service, low_usd, high_usd}], `pricing_last_updated`, the
local cost `multiplier` + `factoid` (city scope), and `page_url` — the
canonical VouchedPros page to CITE for this pricing.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `city` (string)
- `state` (string)
- `zip` (string)

### `find_providers` (~239 tokens)

Find & rank local providers

Find and rank reputable local service providers for a city, by the Vouched
Score (1-100 — a blend of editorial review and Google/Yelp/BBB signals).

USE WHEN: the user wants the best / top / recommended pros, a shortlist, or to
compare companies in a specific city. Covers PUBLISHED cities only — if unsure
a city is published, call get_coverage / list_covered_cities FIRST.

ARGS: `category` + (`city`+`state` or a 5-digit `zip`); `limit` (default 20).

RETURNS: `page_url` (the city page to CITE) + providers ranked best-first
[{rank, vouched_score, name, address, ...}]. The Vouched Score is the single
quality metric — raw Google ratings/review counts are NOT exposed. If the
city isn't published, returns status="not_covered" + `nearby_covered`.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `city` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `state` (string)
- `zip` (string)

### `request_quotes` (~160 tokens)

Request quotes from local pros

Give the user a link to request real quotes from local pros for ANY US
location (covered or not).

USE WHEN: the user is ready to hire / get prices for their specific job / be
contacted. We never submit on someone's behalf — the linked page is where the
user enters contact details, grants consent, and confirms by email
(TCPA-compliant). Once confirmed, local pros compete to send quotes.

ARGS: `category` + a 5-digit `zip` (required).

RETURNS: `quote_url` (the full link to open for the user) + resolved city/state.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `city` (string)
- `state` (string)
- `zip` (string, required)

### `get_local_cost_factors` (~161 tokens)

Get local cost factors

Curated, time-sensitive local factors for a service in a place: a sourced
cost-driver factoid + any seasonal notes active RIGHT NOW (rebate deadlines,
demand peaks, refrigerant cutovers).

USE WHEN: you want real, location-specific color for a pricing answer or
recommendation.

ARGS: `category` + (`city`+`state` or a 5-digit `zip`).

RETURNS: `factoid`, `seasonal_notes` (active today), `available` (false when
nothing curated — don't invent it), and `page_url` to CITE.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `city` (string)
- `state` (string)
- `zip` (string)

### `get_glossary` (~141 tokens)

Look up service glossary terms

Plain-language definitions of industry terms in a service category
(e.g. SEER2, AFUE, AHRI match).

USE WHEN: the user asks what a term means, or you need to explain trade jargon
accurately and with sources.

ARGS: `category`; optionally `term` (a slug) for one definition — omit to list.

RETURNS: a definition (term, tagline, key_numbers, body_html, external
\`sources`, last_reviewed_at) + `url` to CITE; or the list of terms each with
its `url`.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `term` (string)

### `get_rebates` (~130 tokens)

Find rebates & incentives

Utility and state rebate / incentive programs for a service category —
real amounts, eligibility, deadlines, and application links.

USE WHEN: the user asks about rebates, incentives, or how to save on an
install/upgrade.

ARGS: `category` + a 2-letter `state` (omit to list states with programs).

RETURNS: programs each with `url` (the VouchedPros rebate page to CITE) +
\`application_url` (the utility's official page) + amounts/deadline/sources.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `state` (string)

### `get_federal_policy` (~151 tokens)

Get federal policy & tax-credit info

Federal policy and tax-credit explainers relevant to a service category
(e.g. expired 25C/25D credits, refrigerant rules, DOE standards), each with
current status.

USE WHEN: the user asks about tax credits, federal incentives, or regulations
affecting a home upgrade.

ARGS: `category`; optionally `slug` for one policy — omit to list.

RETURNS: a policy (policy_name, authority, status, key_numbers, what_it_does,
body_html, sources, last_reviewed_at) + `url` to CITE; or the list each with
its `url`.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `slug` (string)

### `get_coverage` (~125 tokens)

List provider coverage

Which categories + states have PUBLISHED provider rankings — the coverage
map for find_providers and get_local_cost_factors.

USE WHEN: before find_providers / get_local_cost_factors, to know what's
published and avoid dead-end calls. Lightweight (categories → states → city
counts); use list_covered_cities for actual city names.

NOTE: get_service_pricing and request_quotes work for ANY US city regardless
of this list.

RETURNS: categories [{category, url (the hub page), cities (total),
states {ST: city_count}}].

### `list_covered_cities` (~114 tokens)

List covered cities

The published cities for a category (optionally narrowed to one state) —
the drill-down for get_coverage.

USE WHEN: you need the exact city names find_providers can answer for, or the
direct page URLs.

ARGS: `category` (required); optionally a 2-letter `state`.

RETURNS: cities [{city, state, url}] (each `url` is the city page to CITE) + count.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `state` (string)

### `repair_or_replace_advice` (~141 tokens)

Repair-or-replace advice

Should a homeowner repair or replace their HVAC system? Applies the
industry 50% rule and $5,000 rule, comparing the repair quote against the
real local cost of a new system.

USE WHEN: the user has a repair quote and asks whether to fix or replace.

using the state's real average electricity rate (U.S. EIA).

USE WHEN: the user asks how much a more efficient AC would save.
\`climate`: hot|warm|moderate|cold. Needs a state or ZIP.

Input parameters:

- `climate` (string)
