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 Security63
- 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 5 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1717 tokens (~156/item across 11 items; 11 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 Management44
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 15 days we've observed: 0 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage95
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 85% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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_deliverable Fetch the agreement ~112
Once a lawyer has released it: the agreement in Markdown with placeholders ([Client], [Customer] or [Vendor], and blank addresses and signatures), so you can explain it to the user. The final agreement with the parties' details, in PDF and Word, is only on the private page and in the e-mail to the person who signs.

open_matter Open a matter ~491
Starts a request for a data processing agreement ($350) or, with tool "baa", a business associate agreement ($350). Send only the service, the governing law (CALIFORNIA by default, or SPAIN; CALIFORNIA only for a BAA), the client's role (PROCESSOR by default, or CONTROLLER; BUSINESS_ASSOCIATE for a BAA, with receivesPhi false) and, if useful, a short label that names no one. Do not ask the user for, and do not send, any name, e-mail address or postal address: the firm never needs them from you. Write "the Client" for the user's company and "the Customer" (or "the Vendor", when the client is the controller) for the other party. Returns a matter id, a matter token (shown once: keep it) and a private link. Give the private link to the user and ask them to open it in their browser within 24 hours. There the user enters their company's details, their own and the other party's, and the firm runs its conflicts check. You never see those details. The firm accepts the engagement when its automatic conflicts check is clear and payment is received (for a subscriber, when the engagement is accepted and the check is clear). If a possible conflict is found, nothing is charged, or the payment is refunded in full. A vendor whose services handle protected health information should use request_consultation.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| governingLaw | string | – | The law of the DPA: CALIFORNIA by default, or SPAIN. The law of the BAA: CALIFORNIA only. |
| label | string | – | Optional. A short label for the user to recognize the request, for example "customer DPA, October". It must name no one. |
| receivesPhi | boolean | – | BAA only, and required for it: whether the client's services are designed to create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information. Only false is accepted; for services that handle it, u… |
| role | string | – | The client's role under the agreement: PROCESSOR by default, or CONTROLLER. For a BAA: BUSINESS_ASSOCIATE (the default and the only role offered). |
| tool | string | yes | The service: "dpa" (data processing agreement) or "baa" (business associate agreement). |
No output schema declared.

|---|---|---|---|
| string | yes | – | |
| name | string | yes | – |
| topic | string | yes | One line, no confidential facts. |

submit_dpa_facts Send the DPA facts ~211
The fact package for the agreement, in the "dealroom.solo-intake/1" shape described by get_dpa_requirements. Accepted only once the engagement has begun, and again when the lawyer asks for changes. Leave out counterpartyLegalName: the firm adds the other party from the private page. Do not ask the user for, and do not send, any name, e-mail address or postal address: the firm never needs them from you. Write "the Client" for the user's company and "the Customer" (or "the Vendor", when the client is the controller) for the other party.

submit_facts Send the facts ~258
The fact package for the matter's service, in the "dealroom.solo-intake/1" shape described by get_requirements.
