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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass

  • Stability observed for 2 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 20 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass

How do I install the A2A Cosmetics MCP server?

A2A Cosmetics is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.a2a-cosmetics.ai/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 20 exposed · ~1,606 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. 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 →

Tool Tokens
a2a_handoff ~99

Hand the buyer to the right agent over Agent-to-Agent (A2A): with an allow decision the order intent goes to the counterparty's agent (envelope + card URL); with a deny, the market agent of the ship-to (the regulator's home page beside it) — a referral, never a sale to a consumer.

What tools does the A2A Cosmetics MCP server expose?

A2A Cosmetics exposes 20 tools: resolve_jurisdiction, resolve_actor, gate_transaction, get_ingredient_record, get_market_status, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,606 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the A2A Cosmetics MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to A2A Cosmetics without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the A2A Cosmetics MCP server still maintained?

A2A Cosmetics is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 22 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
