## 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 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 78/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port redirected somewhere other than https, so enforcement is unproven.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
  - The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint redirected instead of responding directly.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3136 tokens (~165/item across 19 items; 19 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 90/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 70% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 19 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 20 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

WRITE: create ONE new UNSHIPPED order in Starshipit (order number, destination, optional items, parcels, sender). No label is printed, no shipment is booked and no postage is bought; staff still print the label in Starshipit. Not idempotent: creating the same order_number twice may create a duplicate, so check with starshipit_search_orders first. Starshipit rules configured in the account (carrier selection, validation) may run on the new order. POST /api/orders.

Input parameters:

- `carrier` (string): Starshipit carrier code, e.g. AusPost (optional; rules may choose one).

### `starshipit_update_order` (~259 tokens)

Update an order's details

WRITE: change details of ONE UNSHIPPED order by order_id (the order is read first and refused if it is already printed or shipped): addresses, shipping method/carrier/service, items, packages, reference or an internal note. This tool never sends status or manifest flags. It does not print a label or buy postage. Items/packages: include item_id / package_id (from starshipit_get_order with include=Items,Packages) to modify an existing line; a line without an id may be added. Nothing is deleted. Send only the fields you want to change. PUT /api/orders.

Input parameters:

- `carrier` (string): Starshipit carrier code, e.g. AusPost.
- `carrier_service_code` (string)
- `currency` (string)
- `destination` (object)
- `items` (array)
- `note` (string): Internal order note.
- `order_id` (integer, required): Starshipit order id.
- `order_number` (string)
- `packages` (array)
- `reference` (string)
- `sender_details` (object)
- `shipping_description` (string)
- `shipping_method` (string)
- `signature_required` (boolean)

### `starshipit_add_order_tags` (~112 tokens)

Add tags to an order

WRITE: add up to 10 tags to ONE UNSHIPPED order (read first; refused if printed or shipped) (a tag that does not exist yet is created). Tags are used for filtering and can drive the account's automation rules. Adding a tag the order already has changes nothing. Tags are not removed. POST /api/tags/order.

Input parameters:

- `order_id` (integer, required): Starshipit order id.
- `tags` (array, required): Tag names to add (1-10).
