## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 49/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 8 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 81/100
  - 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 3316 tokens (~43/item across 76 items; 8 tools + 68 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 89/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 68% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 20/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

## MCP tools (8)

### `search_clinics` (~237 tokens)

Find veterinary specialty clinics by city + specialty. Returns a ranked shortlist with credentials, address, rating, review count, and a contact action. Promoted listings rank first. `state` is genuinely optional: omit it and the city is resolved across states; if that city slug exists in more than one state the error carries a `data.candidates` array (state, state_name, clinic_count) to re-call with.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string, required): City slug (e.g. "denver", "austin", "new-york"). Display names ("Denver", "New York") are accepted and normalised.
- `limit` (integer)
- `specialty` (string, required): Specialty slug (e.g. "orthopedic-surgery", "oncology", "emergency-critical-care", "generalist"). Closed set; use list_specialties.
- `state` (string): Optional 2-letter state slug ("co", "tx", "ca"). Omit it unless you know it — it is only needed to disambiguate a city slug shared by several states, and the error response tells you when that happen…

### `get_clinic` (~81 tokens)

Fetch a single clinic's full record by slug: credentials, inline reviews, procedures performed, contact action, canonical URL.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string, required): City slug.
- `slug` (string, required): Clinic slug. Clinic slugs are unique per city, not globally — pair with city + state for disambiguation.
- `state` (string, required): State slug.

### `get_procedure` (~92 tokens)

Fetch a procedure article with cost band, contraindications, emergency signals, FAQ, citations. When state is supplied, also returns a ranked clinic finder pre-filtered to that state.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Procedure slug (e.g. "tplo", "hemilaminectomy", "lymphoma-chop").
- `state` (string): Optional 2-letter state slug to pre-filter the finder.

### `list_specialties` (~49 tokens)

Closed-set enum of recognized veterinary specialty slugs. Returns slug, display_name, and credentialing_board.sameAs (when applicable). Always call this before search_clinics if uncertain about specialty mapping.

### `list_procedures` (~34 tokens)

Published procedure catalog. Returns slug, display_name, also_known_as, specialty_slug for every procedure with a live article.

### `find_specialists_by_procedure` (~64 tokens)

Convenience: combines get_procedure + state filter. Returns the ranked specialist finder list for a procedure in a given state.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `procedure` (string, required): Procedure slug.
- `state` (string, required): 2-letter state slug.

### `estimate_procedure_cost` (~75 tokens)

Anonymous cost estimate. Returns $low–$high range computed from regional + case factors. Deterministic on identical inputs. PII fields are rejected — use quote_for_case for the PII path.

Input parameters:

- `case_factors` (object, required)
- `procedure_slug` (string, required)
- `zip` (string, required)

### `quote_for_case` (~176 tokens)

Composite tool. Always computes an estimate. When owner_email is also present, additionally submits a confirmation-gated lead and dispatches a confirmation email to the owner (requires X-Agent-Attribution header). When PII is absent, behaves identically to estimate_procedure_cost and returns status="estimate_only".

Input parameters:

- `case_factors` (object, required): Same shape as estimate_procedure_cost.case_factors.
- `case_notes` (string): Optional. Free-text notes from the owner for the receiving clinic.
- `owner_email` (string): Optional. When present, triggers the lead-capture write path and requires X-Agent-Attribution.
- `owner_name` (string): Optional. Required if owner_email is present.
- `owner_phone` (string): Optional.
- `procedure_slug` (string, required)
- `zip` (string, required)
