## 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 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - 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 5 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.
  - 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**: 36/100
  - 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1286 tokens (~214/item across 6 items; 5 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 14 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions.
- **Tool Coverage**: 90/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 71% 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `quote_real_world_answer` (~158 tokens)

Quote a real-world verification

Get a free, immutable price quote for verifying a current fact about a US local business (stock, price, availability, capability, policy, wait time). Returns quote_id, price in integer minor units, scope, expected_completion_seconds and expires_at. Use purchase_quote to buy it.

Input parameters:

- `callback_url` (string)
- `limits` (object)
- `location` (object, required)
- `request` (string, required): Natural-language question, e.g. 'Does ABC Tire in 33312 have two Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 235/40R19 in stock today and what is the installed price?'
- `verification_mode` (string): auto reuses fresh cached facts when safe; live_verified forces a new call

### `quote_real_world_action` (~304 tokens)

Quote arranging something in the real world

Get a free price to ARRANGE something at a specific US local business: book an appointment, hold an item, request a formal quote, or cancel a prior booking. This creates a real obligation, so it needs explicit authorization, the customer's name and callback number, and a maximum price the caller may agree to. The caller never negotiates, never pays, and never substitutes something different. Purchase the returned quote with purchase_quote.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string, required)
- `authorized` (boolean, required): You confirm the end user authorized this commitment on their behalf
- `business_name` (string, required): The business to act on
- `customer_callback_phone` (string, required): Number the business can call back. Shared with the business.
- `customer_name` (string, required): Name to hold the booking under. Shared with the business.
- `max_price_minor` (integer): Ceiling in cents the caller may agree to. Required for book and hold.
- `notes` (string): Constraints the caller must honour
- `place_id` (string): Google place_id, if known - more reliable than a name
- `postal_code` (string, required)
- `quantity` (integer)
- `reference` (string): Existing confirmation reference. Required for cancel.
- `what` (string, required): Exactly what to arrange, e.g. 'two Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 235/40R19 installed'
- `when` (string): Time window, e.g. 'tomorrow afternoon'

### `purchase_quote` (~144 tokens)

Purchase any quote (answer or action)

The single purchase path: pays for a quote from EITHER quote_real_world_answer or quote_real_world_action and starts the job. There is no separate action-purchase tool. Returns job_id and job_token (keep it; it is shown once), then poll get_verification_status and read get_verification_result. If this server has no payment capability, returns the x402 payment requirements (HTTP 402 body) so you can pay with your own payment tool and retry the POST /v1/jobs request with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.

Input parameters:

- `idempotency_key` (string): Client-generated UUID; reuse it when retrying
- `quote_id` (string, required)

### `get_verification_status` (~218 tokens)

Get verification job status

Read-only progress check on a job bought with purchase_quote. Free, changes nothing, and safe to call repeatedly. Returns the state plus a progress object (businesses discovered, call attempts made). States are queued, discovering, calling or extracting while the job is still running, and completed, partial, failed, timed_out or canceled once it is final. Poll every 15-30 seconds; live calls take minutes. Use this to decide WHEN to read the answer; use get_verification_result to read the answer itself. If you only intend to poll until the job is done, get_verification_result can be polled directly instead - it returns a provisional 202 until the job is final.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): job_id returned by purchase_quote, e.g. 'job_gf8t5wwfrtgpjcdc'
- `job_token` (string, required): job_token returned once by purchase_quote; the bearer token for this job. Not recoverable if lost - a new job would have to be purchased.

### `get_verification_result` (~171 tokens)

Get verification result

Read-only. The answer itself: typed facts, evidence excerpts, timestamps, confidence scores, freshness, and an explicit list of what could not be verified. Free, and safe to call repeatedly. If the job is not final yet the response is provisional (http_status 202) - poll until 200, or watch get_verification_status for a terminal state first. A completed job answers every required criterion; a partial one answers some and says so in limitations.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): job_id returned by purchase_quote, e.g. 'job_gf8t5wwfrtgpjcdc'
- `job_token` (string, required): job_token returned once by purchase_quote; the bearer token for this job. Not recoverable if lost - a new job would have to be purchased.
