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 Usability78
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1287 tokens (~214/item across 6 items; 5 tools + 1 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage90
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 71% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
about_honestdog About HonestDog (platform, data provenance, attribution) ~76
What HonestDog is, where its breeder, shelter and breed-health data comes from, and how results link back to honestdog.de. Use when the user asks what HonestDog is or whether its data can be trusted. / Was HonestDog ist, woher die Daten stammen und wie Ergebnisse auf honestdog.de verweisen.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_breed_health_profile Breed health profile (S–E grade + required health tests) ~209
Use when someone asks how healthy a breed is, which hereditary diseases it has, or which health tests to ask a breeder for (e.g. 'Labrador hip dysplasia tests', 'Französische Bulldogge gesund?'). HonestDog's proprietary per-breed health data: the S–E breeding-health grade with rationale, hereditary diseases, and the health tests breeders should run — L1 = mandated by the breed club's Zuchtordnung. Where HonestDog has an explainer, `qualzucht_traits` lists the breed's extreme-breeding (Qualzucht) traits with their level — a listed trait does not mean every dog of the breed is affected. / HonestDogs Gesundheitsprofil je Rasse: S–E-Note, Erbkrankheiten und die (vom Zuchtverband vorgeschriebenen) Gesundheitstests.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| breed_slug | string | yes | Breed slug as returned by search_breeds, e.g. 'zwergpudel' |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_breeders Search approved breeders ~309
Use when someone wants to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder, e.g. 'find a Labrador breeder in Bavaria' or 'seriöser Züchter Golden Retriever Bayern'. Searches HonestDog's directory of vetted, APPROVED dog breeders — mostly in Germany and Austria, with some in other European countries (each result names its country). Filter by breed (slug from search_breeds; exact breed only — breeders of crosses such as Labradoodle are not listed under a parent breed), region (state in the breeder's country, German spelling, e.g. 'Bayern', 'Steiermark') or city. Returns kennel name, photo, city/region/country, HonestDog score and the honestdog.de profile URL — contact happens there, never through this tool. For Qualzucht breeds this returns a caution instead of results. / Für 'Welpen vom seriösen Züchter kaufen': durchsucht das Verzeichnis geprüfter Züchter (nur freigegebene Profile, öffentliche Daten; Ort nur als Stadt/Region/Land).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| breed_slug | string | – | Restrict to breeders of this breed (slug from search_breeds) |
| city | string | – | City (substring) |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| state | string | – | Region in the breeder's country, German spelling — a German or Austrian Bundesland such as 'Bayern' or 'Steiermark' (English names like 'Bavaria' are mapped) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_breeds Search dog breeds ~220
Use when someone is choosing a dog breed or asks which breeds are healthy, e.g. 'healthiest small dog breeds' or 'welche Rasse passt zu mir'. Searches HonestDog's breed catalogue by name (German or English, umlauts optional), size class, or S–E breeding-health grade, most popular first. Returns breed slugs for the other tools, a breed photo, and the honestdog.de breed page URL. / Durchsucht den HonestDog-Rassenkatalog nach Name, Größe oder S–E-Gesundheitsnote.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| health_grade | string | – | HonestDog S–E health grade (S = healthiest breeding basis) |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| query | string | – | Breed name or part of it, in German or English, umlauts optional — e.g. 'pudel', 'german shepherd', 'schaeferhund' |
| size | string | – | Size class filter. Breeds are recorded as small/medium/large (toy and giant currently match nothing) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_shelter_dogs Search adoptable shelter dogs ~274
Use when someone wants to adopt a dog from a shelter in Germany, e.g. 'adopt a dog in Berlin' or 'Hund aus dem Tierheim adoptieren Bayern'. Searches dogs currently listed for adoption by German partner shelters on HonestDog (coverage is still small — a few shelters, mostly mixed breeds), by breed (German or English), size, gender, or Bundesland. Returns name, photos (only where the shelter consented), age in years, size, shelter and the honestdog.de listing URL; adoption happens with the shelter via the linked pages. / Durchsucht die aktuell zur Adoption gelisteten Tierheimhunde nach Rasse, Größe, Geschlecht oder Bundesland.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| breed_text | string | – | Breed in German or English, umlauts optional (e.g. 'Schäferhund', 'german shepherd', 'Mischling'); matched against the shelter's breed text and HonestDog's breed catalogue |
| gender | string | – | – |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| size | string | – | Size class (shelters list sizes in German; mapped server-side) |
| state | string | – | German Bundesland of the shelter, e.g. 'Nordrhein-Westfalen' (English names like 'North Rhine-Westphalia' are mapped) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
