## 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 2026-08-19.

- **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 6 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**: 88/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 606 tokens (~86/item across 7 items; 6 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-19 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-17 (score 67, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (6)

### `list_rows` (~47 tokens)

List the rows on the Honesty Index

The roster: every vault the Kerne Honesty Index measures, with its key, protocol, symbol, chain and contract address. Cheap. Call this first to find the key for get_row.

### `get_board` (~105 tokens)

Get the whole board

The full Kerne Honesty Index: what each of the measured synthetic and yield-bearing dollars ADVERTISES against what its holders actually REALIZED, computed from ERC-4626 share-price growth on chain over a 30 day window, plus the board summary and the provenance of the snapshot. Kerne Protocol publishes this board, is on it, and lists its own row first by rule. A gap of null means the two figures are not comparable, never that the protocol paid zero.

### `get_row` (~79 tokens)

Get one row in full

One row with everything behind it: the verbatim advertised quote and the first-party page it was read from, the capture date, both block heights, both share prices, the arithmetic, the exact eth_call payloads needed to reproduce it, and any right of reply the protocol has published.

Input parameters:

- `row` (string, required): Row key, from list_rows.

### `get_methodology` (~54 tokens)

How the numbers are produced, and where the method stops being fair

The measurement, the comparability rules that decide when a gap may be stated at all, the capture expiry, what this board deliberately does not cover, and the standing commitment if you reproduce a row and get a different answer.

### `get_corrections` (~59 tokens)

The append-only corrections log

Every time this board changed something it had stated about a named company, or changed a method rule, with the old value, the new one, the date and the rule that stops a repeat. Append only: entries are never edited or removed.

### `get_right_of_reply` (~48 tokens)

The Right of Reply, and everything published under it

The free, permanent, unedited reply slot every measured protocol has on its own row, its terms, the only three things that will not be published, and every reply received so far.
