Available components
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 →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 304 tokens (~304/item across 1 items; 1 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 Management97
- Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

get_evaluated_savings Find Best Auto Service Deal ~304
Find the best current auto-service deal near a US ZIP or metro and see what you'd actually pay. Returns the local typical price for the service (oil change, brakes, battery, diagnostic, coolant flush, tire rotation, tires), the best current coupon, discount, or rebate, and the net out-of-pocket "effective price" after discounts and rebates, with caveats. Optionally compares against a shop quote the user already has. Use when someone asks what a repair should cost, whether a quote is fair, or where to find a coupon. US only; 16 major metros are priced locally, other ZIPs use national averages.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | string | – | Metro slug, e.g. "new-york-city", "los-angeles", "houston". Overrides zip. |
| quoted_price | number | – | A quote the user already has, in USD, e.g. 119. Enables "is this quote fair?" comparison. |
| service_category | string | – | Service to price. |
| service_variant | string | – | Oil type (oil_change only). Omit to evaluate each offer on its own stated oil type. |
| shop_name | string | – | Shop or chain the user mentioned, e.g. "Jiffy Lube", to prioritise that brand's deals. |
| zip | string | – | 5-digit US ZIP, e.g. "11205". Give zip or city for local pricing; omit both for national averages. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| benchmark | object | yes | – |
| best_match | – | yes | Highest-savings offer, or null if none found. |
| cached | boolean | yes | True if served from the 12-hour deal cache. |
| offers_count | number | yes | – |
| summary | string | yes | Plain-English summary of the local price and best deal. |
