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 → Why this is hard to 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 Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 786 tokens (~262/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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 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
How do I install the BuilderVet — NSW builder licence & risk history MCP server?
BuilderVet — NSW builder licence & risk history is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.buildervet.au/, 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.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
get_builder_risk ~166
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), total timeline event count (not disciplinary finding count), and recorded source flags such as disciplinary history or licence problems. All facts come from official public registers, archived longitudinally by BuilderVet. Use for identity and dated evidence. This does not establish safety, financial health or complete coverage. 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 ~153
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 whether the source is archived. A removal notice is not a new finding or proof of wrongdoing. Do not imply exclusive access. 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' |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
