## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 50/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs uv_build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 1 of 31 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 13 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (2)

### `get_traffic_hazards` (~168 tokens)

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`.

Input parameters:

- `area`
- `categories`
- `include_ended` (boolean)
- `limit` (integer)
- `near`
- `radius_km` (number)

### `calculate_toll` (~165 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `compare_toll_free` (boolean)
- `destination` (string, required)
- `origin` (string, required)
- `vehicle` (string)
- `when`

## Common questions

### 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 58 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 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 5 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.
