Trust breakdown (6 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Supply Chain Security86
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 907 tokens (~151/item across 6 items; 6 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
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

  • 3 Aug 26 +1

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

MCP tools — 6 exposed · ~907 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens
asktian_best_time_for_action ~175

Find the most auspicious time windows in the next N days for a specific action. Use this when the user asks 'when should I do X', 'should I move this meeting', 'is tomorrow a good day to launch', 'when should I have the hard conversation', etc. Returns top 3 best windows and any windows to avoid. This is the most useful tool for real-time decision support inside any AI assistant — it lets you give specific scheduling advice instead of vague reflections.

NameTypeReqDescription
actionstringWhat kind of action. Pick the closest match; use 'generic' if unsure.
birthdatestringyesISO YYYY-MM-DD birthdate of the person taking the action.
range_daysnumberHow many days ahead to search. Default 7. Max 30.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

asktian_compatibility ~152

Compute fate compatibility between two people via Chinese metaphysics (八字 pairing, 5-element generation/clash). Returns qualitative label first (e.g. '互补型 Complementary'), then a numeric score (hidden if <60 to avoid making low-compat feel like rejection — this is intentional per the asktian design principles). Useful when user asks about compatibility, fit, or 'will this person and I work'.

NameTypeReqDescription
dimensionstringWhich dimension to weight. Default 'general'.
person_a_birthdatestringyesISO YYYY-MM-DD birthdate of the first person.
person_b_birthdatestringyesISO YYYY-MM-DD birthdate of the second person.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

asktian_daily_reading ~160

Get today's personalized Chinese metaphysics (八字 bazi + 干支 daily energy) reading for a person. Returns their archetype (one of 8 trigrams 八卦), today's energy, favorable colors/direction/hours, headline advice, and any caution. Use this when the user asks how today will be for them, what colors to wear, where to face their desk, or for general daily guidance.

NameTypeReqDescription
birth_hourstringOptional 24h time HH:MM. If unknown, omit (defaults to noon).
birthdatestringyesISO date YYYY-MM-DD (Gregorian calendar).
genderstringOptional. Some metaphysics traditions weigh gender; pass 'any' if unsure.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

asktian_market_read ~224

Get a Chinese-metaphysics signal on a binary prediction-market question (Polymarket/Kalshi style yes/no outcomes). Use when a user — or a trading agent — wants an UNCORRELATED, for-fun read on a market: 'will X happen by date Y'. Returns a lean (yes/no/neutral), a confidence, the 五行 reasoning from the resolution date's energy, and a mandatory disclaimer. This is ENTERTAINMENT and a falsifiable ritual — NOT financial advice. Always present it as a novelty signal, never as a recommendation to place a bet.

NameTypeReqDescription
questionstringyesThe binary market question, e.g. 'Will BTC be above $100k by 2026-12-31?'
resolve_datestringOptional ISO YYYY-MM-DD when the market resolves. Defaults to today.
subject_birthdatestringOptional ISO YYYY-MM-DD. If the market is about a specific person (e.g. 'will X win'), their birthdate adds their bazi element to the read.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

asktian_name_analysis ~96

Quick energetic profile of a name (姓名学 name-analysis). Useful when the user asks about someone's name, a baby name, a company name, or 'what kind of person is X' when no birthdate is available. Returns a one-line vibe + dominant element guess.

NameTypeReqDescription
languagestringLanguage hint. Default 'auto'.
namestringyesThe name to analyze. Can be in any script.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

asktian_today_energy ~100

Get today's GENERAL energy (no person needed) — the 干支 (stem + branch) and the dominant 5-element character of the day. Useful when the user asks 'what kind of day is it', 'what's the energy today', or when an AI agent wants to add cosmic context to a generic suggestion without needing the user's birthdate.

NameTypeReqDescription
datestringOptional ISO YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today (UTC).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
