Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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. How we score →

Supply Chain Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (96 of 100), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (96 of 100), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability54
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 911 tokens (~130/item across 7 items; 7 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 Management0
  • Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage79
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 37% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

MCP tools — 7 exposed · ~911 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.

Tool Tokens
cancel_letter ~35

Cancel a letter before it enters production. Cancellation windows are short and provider-specific.

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

preview_letter ~212

Generate a PROOF of a letter WITHOUT charging or mailing. Returns `proof_url` (a viewable PDF of exactly what will be printed and mailed, including the address cover sheet), the CASS-verified recipient address, the exact price, and a `draft_id`. Best practice: call this FIRST, show the user the proof_url and price, get explicit confirmation, then call send_letter with the returned draft_id + a payment_token. Managed/gateway mode only.

NameTypeReqDescription
body_textstringPlain text body. Rendered to a letter-sized PDF server-side. Managed/gateway provider only.

extra_servicestringAdds tracking. `certified` for legal/compliance mail.
file_urlstringPublic URL to a pre-rendered PDF letter. Letter-size 8.5x11 expected.

No examples provided.

send_letter ~355

Send a physical letter via USPS. RECOMMENDED FLOW: first call preview_letter, show the user the returned proof_url + price, get explicit confirmation, then call send_letter with the returned `draft_id` and a `payment_token` — this charges and mails exactly the proofed letter. You may also send one-shot by providing the full letter (to, from, and body_text or file_url) plus payment_token, without a draft_id. `body_text` (plain text, rendered server-side) is managed/gateway-mode only; click2mail/lob require file_url. Use `extra_service: 'certified'` for certified mail (recommended for legal notices).

NameTypeReqDescription
body_textstringPlain text body of the letter. Newlines preserved. Rendered to a letter-sized PDF server-side. Managed/gateway provider only.

draft_idstringConfirm a letter previewed via preview_letter. Provide this plus payment_token to charge and mail exactly that proof. Omit for a one-shot send.
