## 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 2026-10-18.

- **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 28 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**: 53/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1630 tokens (~58/item across 28 items; 28 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 68/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 3% 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 28 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 29 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (28)

### `knos_cross` (~97 tokens)

Cross a paper to a funded product

Paper id (DOI, arXiv, PubMed, OpenAlex) -> research card -> Qloo evidence at every decision -> who, where, price tier, escrow target and reserve, and OPEN or REFUSE. Returns every step with its Qloo call, input, output and effect.

- `place` (string)
- `product` (string)
- `ref` (string)

Crossings on this server

Every crossing this server ran, newest first: id, paper or idea, verdict, report hash.

### `knos_milestones` (~35 tokens)

Open milestones

Every commitment on this server: escrow order, units, status, claim id. A locked one needs an evidence page.

### `knos_tasks` (~32 tokens)

Open work for contributors

Open game rounds and milestones a person or agent can work on; judged and paid on devnet (test money).

### `knos_memory_search` (~44 tokens)

Search everything this Knos remembers

FTS5 search (multilingual) over the agents' memory and the Knos Record: papers, crossings, decisions, events.

Input parameters:

- `q` (string, required)

### `knos_memory_recall` (~51 tokens)

What the agent remembers about a paper

Sibyl, the crossing agent's working memory: the last crossing of a paper or idea (product phrase, verdict, report).

Input parameters:

- `idea` (string)
- `ref` (string)

### `knos_sign_in` (~76 tokens)

A session for the money tools

Returns a session token the money tools need. CONFIRM FIRST: this moves devnet TEST money or posts work. Ask the human you work for before calling, and pass the session token knos_sign_in returned. Test money only; no real funds.

Input parameters:

- `label` (string, required): who your human is (a display label)

### `knos_preorder` (~109 tokens)

Pre-order (your human's passkey signs)

Prepares a pre-order of an OPEN report: no server key buys for anyone, so it returns the page where your human's passkey approves it (devnet test money). CONFIRM FIRST: this moves devnet TEST money or posts work. Ask the human you work for before calling, and pass the session token knos_sign_in returned. Test money only; no real funds.

### `knos_task_submit` (~144 tokens)

Submit work to an open round

Submits the whole train.py to the open round (knos_tasks says what to change and links the task's README); the sealed referee judges it at once; several attempts per round. A scored attempt with a devnet `wallet` is paid a demo prize in test units. CONFIRM FIRST: this moves devnet TEST money or posts work.

Projects and their milestones

Every project: milestones (tranches), their escrow orders, AMC commitments, attempts and where the work can be bought.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string)

### `knos_project_open` (~91 tokens)

Open a project from a template

Opens a project; each milestone is its own tranche, released only on a result plus an independent check. CONFIRM FIRST: this opens or changes work that devnet TEST money depends on. Ask the human you work for before calling, and say what it does.

- `template` (string, required)
- `title` (string, required)

### `knos_project_claim` (~102 tokens)

Input parameters:

- `milestone` (string, required)
- `project` (string, required)
- `session` (string, required)
- `wallet` (string, required)

### `knos_project_post` (~136 tokens)

Post a result or an independent check

role=result (the maker) or check (someone else, another site): a public https page containing the milestone's claim id. Both in: the referee panel releases (the FROST group: 2 of 3 independent hosts re-check and sign). CONFIRM FIRST: this opens or changes work that devnet TEST money depends on.

### What is the io.github.drexthealpha/knos MCP server?

io.github.drexthealpha/knos is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.drexthealpha/knos. The neutral meter for AI agent work: neither side keeps the count. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://knos.onrender.com/mcp).

### Is the io.github.drexthealpha/knos MCP server safe to use?

io.github.drexthealpha/knos scores 57 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the io.github.drexthealpha/knos MCP server expose?

io.github.drexthealpha/knos exposes 28 tools: knos_cross, knos_research_card, knos_demand_check, knos_crossings, knos_milestones, and 23 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,608 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the io.github.drexthealpha/knos MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.github.drexthealpha/knos without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the io.github.drexthealpha/knos MCP server still maintained?

io.github.drexthealpha/knos is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 18 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
