## 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 2026-08-03.

- **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**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 728 tokens (~145/item across 5 items; 5 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**: 86/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 57% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-02 (score 61, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_breeds` (~131 tokens)

Search dog breeds

Search HonestDog's breed catalogue by name, size class, or S–E health grade. Returns breed slugs for the other tools plus the honestdog.de breed page URL. / Durchsucht den HonestDog-Rassenkatalog nach Name, Größe oder S–E-Gesundheitsnote.

Input parameters:

- `health_grade` (string): HonestDog S–E health grade (S = healthiest breeding basis)
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string): Breed name (substring, case-insensitive), e.g. 'pudel'
- `size` (string): Size class filter

### `get_breed_health_profile` (~115 tokens)

Breed health profile (S–E grade + required health tests)

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. / HonestDogs Gesundheitsprofil je Rasse: S–E-Note, Erbkrankheiten und die (vom Zuchtverband vorgeschriebenen) Gesundheitstests.

Input parameters:

- `breed_slug` (string, required): Breed slug as returned by search_breeds, e.g. 'zwergpudel'

### `search_breeders` (~139 tokens)

Search approved breeders

Search HonestDog's directory of vetted, APPROVED dog breeders, optionally by breed and location.

Input parameters:

- `breed_text` (string): Breed text as listed by the shelter (substring match)
