Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 →

Endpoint Security66
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
  • HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
  • The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
  • DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 926 tokens (~308/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 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
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Tool Tokens
nonprofit_get_filings ~191

All Form 990 filings for a tax-exempt org by EIN: year-by-year revenue, expenses, assets, program-expense ratio (with inputs shown), executive compensation, and source PDF/XML links. Use for trend analysis, due diligence, and accessing primary 990 documents. The filing year (tax_prd_yr) is the fiscal year of the return — data lags 1–2 years; always cite the year. Program expense ratio is computed as (total_expenses − officer comp − other wages − fundraising) / total_expenses for 990/990-EZ; not available for 990-PF. Also returns filings_pdf_only — older filings with a PDF but no extracted financial data. Data from ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, sourced from IRS Form 990 filings.
