## 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 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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).
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## MCP tools (4)

### `get_drive_weather` (~274 tokens)

Weather along a drive

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.

Input parameters:

- `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, required): 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.

### `get_drive_weather_interactive` (~269 tokens)

Weather along a drive (card)

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 with an interactive forecast card. The paired get_drive_weather tool returns the same forecast without a card for background checks.

Input parameters:

- `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, required): Where the drive ends, as the user named it: a city, town, postcode, airport, park or landmark. Not a street address or coordinates.

- `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.

### `get_highway_weather` (~182 tokens)

Weather along a highway

Read the current published forecast for a supported highway, optionally scoped to a state, province or town. Includes now, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hour readings and official road-condition service links. This does not report road closures. Returns text and structured data without a card, suitable for scheduled or background checks and summaries. The paired get_highway_weather_interactive tool also displays an interactive forecast card.

Input parameters:

- `highway` (string, required): The highway as the user named it, such as I-80 or Trans-Canada Highway.
- `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.
