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 Security78
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port redirected somewhere other than https, so enforcement is unproven. View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability0
- Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint redirected instead of responding directly. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2258 tokens (~188/item across 12 items; 12 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 Management3
- Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage92
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 75% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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 →
shippit_book_orders Book orders with carriers ~157
WRITE: book labelled orders with their carriers for pickup (the Shippit 'book' step). Shippit returns one manifest per carrier; the carrier then collects and bills the parcels. Orders must have been labelled first (shippit_label_order). The call fails as a whole when a tracking number is unknown; otherwise each manifest reports success or an error per order. Booked orders can no longer be edited. Requires confirm: true. A reply where every manifest failed is an error. POST /book.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be true. Booking commits the orders to carrier pickup and charges; ask the user to confirm first. |
| tracking_numbers | array | yes | Tracking numbers of the labelled orders to book. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
shippit_cancel_order Cancel order ~143
WRITE: cancel a Shippit order by tracking number (the order ends in state cancelled and cannot be revived; for some carriers Shippit also sends a cancellation request to the carrier). Shippit refuses with a 422 and the reason when the order can no longer be cancelled, for example once the carrier has it. Requires confirm: true. DELETE /orders/{tracking_number}.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be true. A cancelled order cannot be recovered; ask the user to confirm first. |
| tracking_number | string | yes | The Shippit tracking number of the order (returned by shippit_create_order; usually starts with PP). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
shippit_create_order Create order ~601
WRITE: create a domestic shipping order in Shippit. Shippit then allocates a carrier (your account rules, or the carrier named in courier_allocation) and, unless suppress_communications is true, emails the recipient tracking notifications. Requires confirm: true. Standard, express and click-and-collect orders are only booked with the carrier later, by shippit_label_order and shippit_book_orders (priority and on-demand orders, which book inside the create request, are not supported here). validate defaults to true: the order is not saved when the suburb and postcode do not match (a suggested address is returned instead). Creating twice creates two orders. International orders (customs data) are not supported here. POST /orders.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| authority_to_leave | string | – | Whether the parcel may be left unattended. |

| delivery_state | string | yes | State. Australian orders use NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT or NT. |
| delivery_suburb | string | yes | – |
| features | array | – | Carrier add-on services; some need prior approval from Shippit. |
| parcels | array | yes | The parcels (qty and weight are the minimum; leave qty out when you also send products). |
| products | array | – | Optional line items for the packing slip. |
| receiver_contact_number | string | – | – |
| receiver_name | string | – | Name of the person receiving it, if different from the customer. |
| retailer_invoice | string | – | Your order number, printed on the label and packing slip. |

shippit_get_manifest_document Get manifest document ~97
The booking manifest document for a manifest id (from shippit_book_orders or shippit_get_order): carrier, order count, tracking numbers and a pre-signed PDF URL valid for 7 days. A 422 means the manifest is still generating: retry shortly. GET /book/{manifest_id}/document.

Ask the carriers enabled on the account for a price and delivery estimate to a destination, for given parcels. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged.

Dangerous goods cannot be quoted. POST /quotes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| authority_to_leave | string | – | Whether the parcel may be left unattended. |
| dropoff_address | string | – | Street address (required for on-demand quotes). |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
shippit_label_order Label order ~159
WRITE: confirm an order for shipping and fetch its label. This is the Shippit 'label' step: it finalises the carrier and price (the order moves to Ready to Ship) and returns the carrier, tracking and consignment details plus pre-signed PDF URLs (valid 7 days) for the shipping label, packing slip and any customs documents. A 422 means the order is still processing or has no valid carrier or quote: retry shortly or read the error. Labelling is the step before shippit_book_orders. GET /orders/{tracking_number}/label.
