Category Maps and Location
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 → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs uv_build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 1 of 31 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 12 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 419 tokens (~209/item across 2 items; 2 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 Management43
- Stability observed for 13 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
calculate_toll ~165
Estimate toll costs (AUD) for driving between two places in NSW, with the toll roads used. origin/destination: a place name, address or 'lat,lng'. when: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM' Sydney time (tolls vary by time of day); default now. vehicle: "car" (class A, incl. motorcycles) or "truck" (class B). compare_toll_free: also return the quickest toll-free route so the time saved can be weighed against the cost. Results are estimates from Transport for NSW and may differ from what is actually charged.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| compare_toll_free | boolean | – | – |
| destination | string | yes | – |
| origin | string | yes | – |

get_traffic_hazards ~168
Live Traffic NSW hazards: crashes, breakdowns, roadworks, floods, fires, alpine conditions and major events. categories: which feeds to read (default: all). area: text matched against suburb, region and road names (e.g. "Parramatta", "M4", "Blue Mountains"). near: a place name, address or 'lat,lng'; only hazards within radius_km are returned, nearest first. include_ended: also return hazards that have finished. Open roadworks and events include planned ones that haven't started yet; check `start`.

What is the NSW Roads MCP server?
NSW Roads is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.fisher98kim/nsw-roads. NSW live traffic hazards (crashes, roadworks, floods, fires, events) and toll costs. This page covers its PyPI package (mcp-au-nsw).
Is the NSW Roads MCP server safe to use?
NSW Roads scores 72 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. 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 NSW Roads MCP server expose?
NSW Roads exposes 2 tools: get_traffic_hazards, calculate_toll. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 333 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the NSW Roads MCP server still maintained?
NSW Roads is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the NSW Roads MCP server under?
NSW Roads declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
