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. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation. 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 Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 816 tokens (~272/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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 3 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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 →
audit_repair_quote Audit Auto Repair Quote & Find Deals ~179
Audit a mechanic quote, repair estimate, or bill from an image URL or pasted text against US fair market labor rates and parts benchmarks.

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.

submit_feedback Report Missing Auto Service, Metro, or Tool Issue ~333
Report a gap or problem after attempting a task for the driver — for example, when get_evaluated_savings does not yet support a requested repair category or metro, when no active coupon was matched for a major chain, or when audit_repair_quote encountered an unparseable estimate. If the driver has a written quote, estimate, or line-item price for a repair category not listed in get_evaluated_savings, call audit_repair_quote first before reporting a gap. Only call submit_feedback once at the end of the turn after completing your best effort with get_evaluated_savings or audit_repair_quote. Never include customer names, phone numbers, emails, or 17-digit VINs.

| description | string | yes | What tool call you tried and what was missing, broken, or unclear. |
| error | string | – | Exact error received, with any personal data removed. |
| impact | string | yes | How the task ended: "blocked", "worked_around", or "friction". |
| kind | string | yes | What kind of gap: "missing" (unsupported repair category, metro, or chain coupon), "broken" (tool error or failed quote parse), "confusing" (unclear benchmark or statutory fee rule), or "idea". |
| operation | string | – | Tool name involved: get_evaluated_savings or audit_repair_quote. |
| suggestion | string | – | What service category, metro, or schema change would have helped. |
| task | string | yes | Short phrase naming what the driver asked for, e.g. "Price wheel alignment in 78701". |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
