Available components
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 →
Endpoint Security46
- 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 3 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 check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability63
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 802 tokens (~267/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management27
- Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

get_builder_risk ~176
Get the factual risk profile for one builder by slug: NSW licence number/class/status (current, expired, suspended, cancelled), ACN/ABN and ASIC registration status (incl. deregistration/strike-off), disciplinary record count, and computed risk signals such as disciplinary history or licence problems. All facts come from official public registers, archived longitudinally by BuilderVet. Use when a user asks 'is <builder> licensed?', 'is <builder> safe to sign a contract with?', or 'has <builder> been in trouble?'. Example: slug='acme-building-pty-ltd-1a2b' (get the slug from search_builders first).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | Builder slug from search_builders, e.g. 'acme-building-pty-ltd-1a2b' |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_builder_timeline ~159
Get the dated event timeline for a builder by slug: licence status changes, deregistration/strike-off, disciplinary findings, public warnings, and building work rectification orders. Each event carries its severity (info/watch/risk), the official register it came from, and a flag when the record was deleted upstream and now exists only in BuilderVet's archive — cite that flag explicitly when present, it is the strongest signal. Returns up to 50 most recent events. Example: slug='acme-building-pty-ltd-1a2b' → '2026-03-14 — [risk] Building work rectification order (nsw.bc.rectification-orders)'.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | Builder slug from search_builders |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_builders ~160
Search Australian (currently NSW) builders, contractors and building companies by name; optionally filter by postcode. Returns matching entities with their licence status and a slug to pass to get_builder_risk / get_builder_timeline. Example: query='Acme Building' → '- Acme Building Pty Ltd (Current), 2099 → slug: acme-building-pty-ltd-1a2b'. Names are matched loosely, so try the trading name AND the legal (Pty Ltd) name if the first search misses. Query must be at least 2 characters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| postcode | string | — | Optional NSW postcode filter, e.g. '2099' |
| query | string | yes | Builder or company name, e.g. 'Acme Building' |
