## 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**: 46/100
  - 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 2 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 487 tokens (~243/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 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 (2)

### `describe_rates` (~58 tokens)

Describe the latest published crawl: crawl date, row count, and the real line, source, ship, and rate values. Call this before search_rates when an exact line, source, or ship name is unknown. Prices are not converted between currencies.

### `search_rates` (~429 tokens)

Search the latest published cruise fares. This is the full crawl, including Contitrans and Crusit. Empty line, source, ship, or rate means all of that dimension. Values within one of those filters are OR; filters combine with AND. title, line, source, ship, rate, and sort ignore case. title is a substring. line, source, and ship must otherwise match describe_rates. nights, price, and ppd are inclusive min-max strings such as "8-14". departs is inclusive YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD. sort is field:asc or field:desc, comma-separated. Sort fields are title, cruiseline (line), source_label (source), ship, date, number_of_days (nights), lowest_price (price), price_per_day (ppd), and comment (rate). The default sort is Ultra, then All included, then Economy, then cheapest per night. Each row's price stays in its own currency.

Input parameters:

- `departs` (string): Inclusive departure range, such as "2027-01-01..2027-06-01".
- `limit` (integer): Page size. Default 25, maximum 100.
- `line`: Cruise line names. Case-insensitive. Comma-separated or a list.
- `nights` (string): Inclusive night range, such as "8-14".
- `offset` (integer): Matching rows to skip. Default 0.
- `ppd` (string): Inclusive price-per-night range, such as "150-300".
- `price` (string): Inclusive total price range in the row currency, such as "1500-4000".
- `rate`: Economy, All included, and/or Ultra.
- `ship`: Ship names. Case-insensitive.
- `sort` (string): Sort such as "date:desc" or "ppd:asc". Several fields are comma-separated.
- `source`: Source ids such as celebrity or contitrans. Case-insensitive.
- `title` (string): Case-insensitive substring of the sailing name.
