## 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 2026-08-16.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 81/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 457 tokens (~152/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**: 40/100
  - Stability observed for 12 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**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `skim_read` (~128 tokens)

Read a web page as clean Markdown

Fetch a public URL and return clean, agent-ready Markdown via Skim (skim402.com): strips nav, ads, and boilerplate; preserves the article body plus metadata (title, byline, published date, language, excerpt). Use for articles, docs, blog posts, READMEs, and research papers. Free tier is rate-limited; with an X-Skim-Wallet-Key connector header each call is paid ($0.002 USDC on Base via x402) and unmetered.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Fully-qualified URL to fetch and clean (https://...).

### `skim_extract` (~178 tokens)

Extract structured data from a web page

Read a public URL and extract structured JSON from it via Skim (skim402.com). Either pick a preset (article, product, job, review, event, table) or supply a JSON Schema (top-level type "object") describing the fields you want. Costs $0.015 USDC per call on Base via x402, paid from the wallet configured in the X-Skim-Wallet-Key connector header — this tool does not work without one.

Input parameters:

- `instructions` (string): Optional natural-language hint to bias the extraction.
- `preset` (string): Named extraction preset. Provide either this or `schema`.
- `schema` (object): JSON Schema object (top-level {"type":"object", ...}) describing the desired output. Provide either this or `preset`.
- `url` (string, required): Fully-qualified URL to read and extract from.

### `skim_signals` (~151 tokens)

Get a Skim intelligence signal feed

Fetch the latest items from one of Skim's curated intelligence feeds (skim402.com/signals): ai-news, sec-filings, deals, research, campaign-finance, film-incentives, crypto-news, macro, security, regulations, courts, recalls, launches, trending, energy, entertainment, studio-jobs, entity-formations. Returns structured items, newest first. Costs $0.005 USDC per call on Base via x402, paid from the wallet configured in the X-Skim-Wallet-Key connector header — this tool does not work without one.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max items to return (default 50).
- `signal` (string, required): Which signal feed to fetch.
