## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 66/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (update_search_preferences).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 79/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1320 tokens (~94/item across 14 items; 13 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 41/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 15 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions.
- **Tool Coverage**: 83/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 41% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (23% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 13 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 15 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.

## MCP tools (13)

### `search_guides` (~50 tokens)

Search RentReboot guides

Search RentReboot public NYC renter guides by keyword and return canonical URLs.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required): Keywords such as rent stabilization, guarantor, or security deposit

### `list_alerted_listings` (~111 tokens)

List apartments sent in my alerts

List apartments RentReboot already sent to the connected renter, newest first, with saved, hidden, and contacted/toured/applied state. Pass nextCursor to see older alerts (up to the latest 200). Hidden apartments are left out unless includeHidden is true. Links open the listing through RentReboot. Never returns account identifiers or broker contact details.

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (string): nextCursor from the previous page
- `includeHidden` (boolean)
- `limit` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `count` (integer)
- `nextCursor` (string|null)
- `results` (array)

### `update_alerted_listing` (~97 tokens)

Save, hide, or track an apartment from my alerts

Change the connected renter's state for one apartment from their alerts: save it, hide it, or mark it contacted, toured, or applied (status "none" clears it). Same as the buttons on the RentReboot dashboard. Use a listingId from list_alerted_listings.

Input parameters:

- `hidden` (boolean)
- `listingId` (string, required)
- `saved` (boolean)
- `status` (string)

### `get_account` (~44 tokens)

Get my RentReboot account

Show the connected renter's plan (free or paid), whether apartment alerts are on or paused, market, alert frequency, and delivery channel, plus a link to manage the account.

### `get_search_preferences` (~58 tokens)

Get my saved apartment search

Show the connected renter's saved alert search: budget, bedrooms, bathrooms, neighborhoods, move-in date, no-fee and rent-stabilized filters, amenities, subway lines, alert frequency, and channel. Read this before changing the search.

### `find_search_neighborhoods` (~67 tokens)

Find neighborhoods for my alerts

Look up neighborhood names and ids the connected renter can add to their alert search, in their own market. Returns names only, not listings.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string): Part of a name, for example "williams" or "upper"

### `update_search_preferences` (~333 tokens)

Change my apartment search

Change the connected renter's saved alert search. Send only the fields to change; everything else stays. Saves exactly like the RentReboot preferences page, so its rules apply (for example a search always keeps at least one neighborhood). For a new account, set city together with neighborhoods once; after that the market cannot change here. Confirm the change with the renter first. Weekly recap pauses individual alerts.

Input parameters:

- `alertFrequency` (string): minimal (1-2/day), medium (3-4/day), all, or weekly_recap
- `amenities` (array): Replaces the whole amenity list
- `bathrooms` (array)
- `bedrooms` (array): 0 is a studio, 4 means 4 or more
- `channel` (string): Text alerts need a phone number already on the account
- `city` (string): Only for a new search with no neighborhoods yet; send neighborhoods with it
- `includeNearbyBedroomCounts` (boolean)
- `includeUndisclosedAddresses` (boolean)
- `maxRent` (integer)
- `minRent`: null removes the minimum
- `moveInDate`: YYYY-MM-DD, or null for no date

Input parameters:

- `enabled` (boolean, required)

### `list_historical_matches` (~50 tokens)

List historical apartments matching my search

- `results` (array)
