## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 19/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 130 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 425 tokens (~60/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (7)

### `list_signals` (~130 tokens)

List scored research signals from swarm intelligence. Each signal has a composite score based on urgency, buyer intent, durability, and source count. Signals come from HN, Reddit, ArXiv, GitHub, and other sources.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Filter by category: ai, infrastructure, security, devtools, data, business, career, market
- `limit` (number): Max signals to return (default: 25)
- `min_score` (number): Minimum score filter
- `sort` (string): Sort by: score (default), urgency, buyer_intent, durability

### `trending_signals` (~45 tokens)

Get breakout signals (trending at 1.8x+ their rolling average) and hot signals (score 6+). Use this to find what's surging right now.

### `triage_signals` (~70 tokens)

Group research signals into build_now, monitor, and ignore buckets with product mapping for cloud-agent, mcp-audit, web-recon, and lead-gen plus a one-sentence recommended action.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max signals to include in the triage summary (default: 25)

### `signal_detail` (~63 tokens)

Get deep detail on a specific research signal including full evidence, score breakdown (urgency, buyer intent, durability), actionable-for audience, and trend history.

Input parameters:

- `topic` (string, required): The signal topic to look up (partial match supported, use hyphens for spaces)

### `signals_by_category` (~45 tokens)

Get all signals in a specific category. Categories: ai, infrastructure, security, devtools, data, business, career, market.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required): Category name

### `signal_stats` (~36 tokens)

Get aggregate statistics: total signals, category breakdown (count + avg score + top topic per category), and the top 10 signals overall.

### `recalculate_scores` (~36 tokens)

Force a recalculation of all signal scores. Applies time decay to urgency and detects new breakout trends. Use after ingesting new data.
