Category Data and Analytics
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 Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 1 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability53
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 822 tokens (~822/item across 1 items; 1 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 Management47
- Stability observed for 14 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 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
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

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. 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 →
pulse_analyze ~751
Estimate a causal effect from a dataset and answer a business question. Provide exactly one of ``csv`` (CSV text) or ``data`` (list of row objects). Returns the full long-form Pulse report (the same answer an email reply contains) as the primary text content and as ``report`` in the structured result, followed by chart PNGs as image content blocks (unless ``include_charts`` is false). Structured fields: the adjusted effect size (``ate``/``effect_size``) with its confidence interval (``ci_low``, ``ci_high``, ``ci_range``), per-channel effects (``channels``, keyed by outcome), confidence, and caveats. A ``test_design`` (how long a spend-cut test would take to confirm the effect, and whether the data already suffices) is included only when the question asks about sample size, power, or how long a test would take, or when ``include_test_design`` is true; otherwise it is null. With ``include_guardian_verdict`` it also returns ``guardian_verdict`` ``{verdict: pass|caution|hold, reason}``, computed locally. All numbers are deterministic statistics, never LLM-generated. Args: question: The business question, e.g. "Does ad spend drive sales?". csv: Dataset as CSV text. data: Dataset as a list of row records (alternative to ``csv``). cause: Treatment column (inferred from the question if omitted). effect: Outcome column (inferred if omitted). confounders: Columns to adjust for, in addition to those discovered. outcomes: Several outcome columns, for by-channel effects. time_col: Time column (used for the test-design cadence). include_guardian_verdict: Also return a pass/caution/hold verdict. include_charts: Attach chart images (DAG, effect, trend) as image content. include_test_design: Force the spend-cut test design / sample-size section on (true) or off (false). Omit (null) to include it only when the question asks about sample size, statistical power, or how long a test would take. estimator: Optional estima…

How do I install the Syl Pulse MCP server?
Syl Pulse is a hosted endpoint at https://pulse.sylai.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.
