## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_builders` (~160 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `postcode` (string): Optional NSW postcode filter, e.g. '2099'
- `query` (string, required): Builder or company name, e.g. 'Acme Building'

### `get_builder_risk` (~176 tokens)

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).

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Builder slug from search_builders, e.g. 'acme-building-pty-ltd-1a2b'

### `get_builder_timeline` (~159 tokens)

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)'.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Builder slug from search_builders
