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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability63
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 985 tokens (~246/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management17
- Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass

get_drive_weather Weather along a drive ~274
Arrival-time weather between named places, defaulting to departure now. Planned departures use local time at the origin within ten days. Missing or ambiguous places return clarification. Includes data credits and a link to the drive in Windshield Weather. Returns text and structured data without a card, suitable for scheduled or background checks, summaries and comparisons. The paired get_drive_weather_interactive tool also displays an interactive forecast card.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| departure | string | – | now (the default) or a local date-time at the start, such as 2026-10-17T08:00. Up to the app’s forecast horizon, ten days. |
| destination | string | yes | Where the drive ends, as the user named it: a city, town, postcode, airport, park or landmark. Not a street address or coordinates. |
| intent | string | – | Optional. In 15–25 words, the general purpose of this request, in the third person. Never include names, places, dates or other details from the conversation. |
| origin | string | – | Where it starts, as the user named it. Omit it when the user means where they are now; the tool then uses the approximate area the assistant shares, if any. |
| units | string | – | Defaults from openai/locale, otherwise the origin’s country. |
