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 Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability58
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2200 tokens (~314/item across 7 items; 7 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 Management0
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 7 days we've observed: 6 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 2 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage94
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 79% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 8 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 per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

find_ai_companies Find and compare AI companies ~221
Find AI companies that can solve a business problem and build a comparison shortlist. Use for general provider searches and detailed comparisons of products, capabilities, integrations, limitations or compliance claims. Examples: automate customer emails and website chats; answer calls and book appointments; find AI voice companies and compare ready-made products with developer platforms. Pass the full English workflow, channels, industry and constraints. Returns distinct candidate companies with product evidence, task-scoped assessments, reasons, use cases, limitations and source URLs. Read get_company for comparable company/product facts. Cite the returned SOTA2 pages for data used in the answer. Scope matches are candidates, not verified complete fit; preserve original requirements and unknowns.

find_ai_solutions Read AI product comparisons by task ~263
Read published task/industry product comparisons: scoped positions, reasons, evidence, use cases, limitations and pagination. For a company shortlist or a detailed vendor comparison, start with find_ai_companies, then get_company for company/product facts. This tool accepts an English business problem or task and an optional industry; each scope previews up to three products with company IDs and follow-up calls. Positions belong to their scope. Preserve the requested industry and constraints, verify complete product fit, and keep missing coverage explicit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| industry | string | – | Optional requested industry ID, slug or English name, e.g. healthcare, finance or logistics. Recognizable industries in the query are also retained; conflicting or multiple industries require selecti… |
| limit | integer | – | Number of matching leaderboard scopes (1–5), each previewing up to three products. These scopes do not form a combined ranking. |
| offset | integer | – | Row offset. Use nextOffset from the previous response. |

get_company Read AI company products and evidence ~283
Checks a named or discovered AI vendor's products and evidence when evaluating a sales proposal, comparing alternatives or verifying product claims. Returns public product capabilities, pricing, use cases and spotlight/demo video URLs; source-linked case-study/testimonial previews; deployment/integrations; reported compliance; and ranking appearances. Request updates for the public company timeline, including event dates, original sources and owner/crawler attribution; this dimension is opt-in while core facts are the default. Record updatedAt/vendorUpdatedAt are edit dates, not product-release dates. Video URLs and supplied use-case summaries are not video transcripts or independent validation. Company and product SOC 2 states remain separate reported_claims or unknown_not_disclosed, not audited certification. Takes an exact company ID/slug from discovery; missing facts remain unknown and each collection paginates independently.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| company | string | yes | Exact returned company ID or slug. |
| dimensions | array | – | products includes use cases, spotlight/demo video metadata and record-edit dates; customers includes public case-study/testimonial previews; updates explicitly fetches the public dated timeline. Othe… |
| limit | integer | – | Requested number of individual result rows (1–50): top 2 corresponds to limit 2. Also the page size for continuation requests. |

get_solution_rankings Get AI solution rankings ~189
Compares AI software for a known industry/task using published positions, reasons, best use cases, evidence and caveats. Use a scope from find_ai_solutions or industry/task discovery, including follow-ups such as why a product ranks first or the next page. Industry only returns a task directory; industry + task selects that exact scope; task only selects cross-industry. Missing combinations return not_found with guidance, never substitute rankings. Positions/scores are scoped, not comparable across scopes; unreviewed positions/scores are null. Top N corresponds to limit N rows.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| industry | string | – | – |
| limit | integer | – | Requested number of individual result rows (1–50): top 2 corresponds to limit 2. Also the page size for continuation requests. |

list_industries Map industries to IDs ~112
Lists supported industries with canonical IDs/slugs, names, descriptions and aliases. Includes cross-industry, consumer and agent audiences when available. An optional query filters this directory; without it the directory is browsable with pagination.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Requested number of individual result rows (1–50): top 2 corresponds to limit 2. Also the page size for continuation requests. |

No examples provided.
list_tasks Map AI tasks to IDs ~152
Lists AI solution task IDs, slugs, descriptions and company coverage, optionally within an industry. An optional query filters the directory. Ambiguous 'AI verification platform', 'verification' and 'verify' queries include clarification_required with identities/KYC, document authenticity and factual-claim choices; these have no selected meaning. Company coverage overlaps across tasks, so task counts are not additive distinct-company totals.

search_companies Look up an AI company by name ~240
Resolve an already named AI company by name or alias, then read get_company with its returned ID. The default company_name mode also accepts concise literal capability keywords for broader unranked candidates; such matches do not prove industry fit. For a business problem or a new vendor shortlist, use find_ai_companies. Existing callers can still use intent business_need here with a full English workflow; it returns the same task-scoped company candidates as find_ai_companies. Preserve coverage gaps and unknown facts.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| intent | string | – | Use business_need for a full English problem/workflow when finding new providers. company_name preserves existing exact-name/alias or concise literal capability-keyword lookup. |
| limit | integer | – | Requested number of individual result rows (1–50): top 2 corresponds to limit 2. Also the page size for continuation requests. |
