## 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 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 60/100
  - 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 9 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 773 tokens (~85/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 20/100
  - Stability observed for 6 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 84/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 52% 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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **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.

### 2026-09-28 (score 67, 0)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-27 (score 67, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (9)

### `media_whats_on` (~103 tokens)

What is airing right now, or at a given time. Returns programmes with descriptions and, for each, when the claim was observed and when it expires. Accepts free text.

Input parameters:

- `at` (string): ISO 8601 instant. Defaults to now.
- `limit` (number)
- `outlet` (string): Restrict to one channel by name.
- `query` (string): Free text: a title, genre, or channel name. Optional.

### `media_receivable` (~144 tokens)

Which television transmitters reach a specific latitude and longitude, graded by real terrain between the tower and that point. Answers "what can I actually watch from here", which listings services cannot.

Input parameters:

- `antenna_ft` (number): Receiving antenna height in feet above ground. Default 30.
- `full_power_only` (boolean)
- `lat` (number)
- `lon` (number)
- `query` (string): Free text, e.g. "42.4086,-73.3054" or a note about the location.
- `terrain` (boolean): Compute terrain grades. Default true. First call for a location takes ~15s; cached after.

### `media_still_true` (~70 tokens)

Is a remembered claim about a programme still current? Returns when it was observed, whether it has expired, and what replaced it. This is the question a model cannot answer about its own training data.

Input parameters:

- `outlet` (string)
- `query` (string, required): The programme or claim to check.

### `media_outlets` (~77 tokens)

Search stations, networks and streaming channels by name, callsign, network or owner. Returns licence status, transmitter power and antenna height where filed.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): broadcast_station | network | streaming_service
- `limit` (number)
- `query` (string, required)
- `region` (string): Two-letter US state.

### `media_closed` (~46 tokens)

Channels that have shut down, with the date they closed. Useful for checking whether a channel a model remembers still exists.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number)
- `query` (string)

### `media_verify` (~146 tokens)

Verify a signed record from this service. Pass an airing_id, or pass back a record you cached earlier with its signature and we will confirm it is byte-identical to what we signed. The public key and exact canonicalisation are at /.well-known/dtv-intel-signing.json so you can also verify offline without calling us.

Input parameters:

- `airing_id` (number)
- `query` (string): Free text; an airing id is picked out of it if present.
- `record` (object): A previously returned signed claim.
- `record_type` (string): Defaults to "airing".
- `signature` (string): Base64 Ed25519 signature that came with the record.

### `media_station_readiness` (~110 tokens)

Whether a US television station website can be read by an AI assistant: which AI crawlers it blocks by name in robots.txt, whether it publishes llms.txt or /.well-known/ai, and whether it has structured data. Pass a callsign for one station, or nothing for the industry-wide summary broken down by owner group.

Input parameters:

- `callsign` (string)
- `query` (string): A callsign such as WNYT, or free text. Omit for the summary.

### `media_freshness` (~45 tokens)

How current this dataset is: when each source last ran, how many assertions are live versus expired, and the gaps we know we have.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string)

### `media_sources` (~32 tokens)

Where the data comes from, each with its licence and whether it may be redistributed.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string)

## Common questions

### What is the global.rootz.dtv/broadcast MCP server?

global.rootz.dtv/broadcast is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as global.rootz.dtv/broadcast. Which TV transmitters actually reach an address, terrain-graded, and what is on now. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://dtv.rootz.global/mcp).

### Is the global.rootz.dtv/broadcast MCP server safe to use?

global.rootz.dtv/broadcast scores 67 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 global.rootz.dtv/broadcast MCP server expose?

global.rootz.dtv/broadcast exposes 9 tools: media_whats_on, media_receivable, media_still_true, media_outlets, media_closed, and 4 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 773 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the global.rootz.dtv/broadcast MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to global.rootz.dtv/broadcast without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the global.rootz.dtv/broadcast MCP server still maintained?

global.rootz.dtv/broadcast is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
