## 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 2026-10-01.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 84/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 451 tokens (~90/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 50/100
  - Stability observed for 15 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (5)

### `list_digests` (~67 tokens)

List editions

Newest-first list of every published energypod.io edition (weekly energy-industry digests): slug (YYYY-MM-DD), week label, and episode count. Call this FIRST — the first entry is the latest week, and its slug feeds get_digest / list_digest_episodes.

Output parameters:

- `digests` (array)

### `get_digest` (~65 tokens)

Read one edition

Full briefing markdown + metadata for one edition. ``slug`` is the YYYY-MM-DD edition date from list_digests; omitting it returns the LATEST edition.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string): YYYY-MM-DD edition date (from list_digests); omit for the latest

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string)
- `episode_count` (integer)
- `episode_ids` (array)
- `episodes_url` (string)
- `markdown` (string): The full briefing (dossier) markdown
- `since` (string)
- `slug` (string): YYYY-MM-DD edition date
- `url` (string)
- `version` (integer)
- `week_label` (string)

### `list_digest_episodes` (~71 tokens)

List an edition's episodes

The episodes a given edition references (title + show + published date + episode ids) — the cheapest way to map a week. Omitting ``slug`` returns the latest edition's episodes.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string): YYYY-MM-DD edition date (from list_digests); omit for the latest

Output parameters:

- `digest` (object)
- `episodes` (array)

### `get_episode` (~80 tokens)

Read one episode

One episode's title, show, summary, and full transcript. Scoped to episodes referenced by a published digest. Pass ``digest`` when an episode spans more than one week.

Input parameters:

- `digest` (string): Optional YYYY-MM-DD edition date to disambiguate an episode that spans weeks
- `eid` (string, required): Episode id (from list_digest_episodes)

Output parameters:

- `chapters` (array): Chapter list (often empty): [{"start": seconds, "title": str}]
- `description` (string|null): RSS episode description
- `digest_slug` (string)
- `duration_sec` (integer|null)
- `eid` (string)
- `published` (string)
- `show` (string)
- `speakers` (array)
- `summary` (string)
- `title` (string)
- `transcript` (string)
- `url` (string)

### `search` (~67 tokens)

Search everything

Typo-tolerant search across digests, episodes, people, companies, and channels (same ranking + excerpts as the site's /search). Use for ad-hoc discovery when you don't know which edition or episode id you need.

Input parameters:

- `q` (string, required): Search text (≥2 chars)

Output parameters:

- `results` (array)
