## 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 2026-10-22.

- **Endpoint Security**: 69/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 404, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1062 tokens (~212/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

### 2026-10-21 (score 62)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_companies` (~192 tokens)

Searches the SEC EDGAR company directory by ticker or company name fragment and returns each match's CIK (the SEC's permanent company ID), primary ticker, name, exchange, and industry (SIC code and description). Use to find a company's identifiers before calling get_company or the financial tools; use get_company instead when you already hold a ticker or CIK and want one company's full profile. Read-only lookup of the stored directory; no API key. The directory covers all EDGAR filers and is refreshed from the SEC's ticker files; an exact ticker match ranks first, name matching is case-insensitive, and a query over 40 characters is rejected.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max results (default 20, max 1000)
- `query` (string, required): Ticker symbol or company name fragment, e.g. 'NVDA' or 'nvidia' (max 40 characters)

### `get_company` (~183 tokens)

Returns one company's EDGAR profile by ticker or CIK — name, exchange, industry (SIC), fiscal year end, entity type, and state of incorporation — plus whether standardized financials are loaded for it and, if so, how many facts and the latest reported period. Use after search_companies to confirm a company's identity and financials availability; use get_financials instead for the statements themselves. Read-only; no API key. Provide `ticker` or `cik`; if both are given, `cik` takes precedence. Any listed ticker for a company resolves to that company, not just its primary ticker.

Input parameters:

- `cik` (number): SEC CIK number, e.g. 1045810 (takes precedence over ticker)
- `ticker` (string): Ticker symbol, e.g. 'NVDA' (any ticker the company lists)

### `get_financials` (~279 tokens)

Standardized financial statements for one company from its SEC EDGAR XBRL filings — revenue, net income, EPS, cash flow, and balance-sheet concepts per fiscal period, latest periods first. Use for period-by-period statements; use get_metric_history instead for one concept's long time series, and list_financial_concepts to see which concepts exist. Read-only; no API key. Values are cleaned: when a period was reported more than once the latest filing wins, fiscal periods are verified, and two concepts (total_liabilities, gross_profit) may be derived from reported components and are tagged 'derived:' in their source tag. Every value carries per-value provenance (form, filed date, accession number). Identify the company by ticker or CIK (CIK wins if both are given). Coverage loads progressively — roughly 25 more companies refreshed per day, priority tiers first — so a valid company can legitimately return 'no financials stored yet'.

Input parameters:

- `cik` (number): SEC CIK number (takes precedence over ticker)
- `limit` (number): Number of periods (default 5, max 20)
- `period` (string): Annual (10-K) periods, quarterly (10-Q) periods, or all. Default: annual
- `ticker` (string): Ticker symbol, e.g. 'NVDA'

### `get_metric_history` (~267 tokens)

Time series for one standardized financial concept for one company (e.g. 'revenue', 'net_income', 'eps_diluted', 'total_assets'), from SEC EDGAR XBRL filings with history back to 2015. Use for a single metric's trend; use get_financials instead for full statements per period, and list_financial_concepts for the valid concept slugs. Read-only; no API key. Each point carries the period start/end, fiscal year and period labels, the value and unit, and per-value provenance (form, filed date, accession number); duplicates and restatements are resolved latest-filed-wins, and values computed from reported components are tagged 'derived:'. `period` defaults to all (annual plus quarterly points); `limit` defaults to 40 points, max 200.

Input parameters:

- `cik` (number): SEC CIK number (takes precedence over ticker)
- `concept` (string, required): Canonical concept slug (see list_financial_concepts)
- `limit` (number): Max data points (default 40, max 200)
- `period` (string): Annual points, quarterly points, or all. Default: all
- `ticker` (string): Ticker symbol, e.g. 'NVDA'

### `list_financial_concepts` (~141 tokens)

Lists the 22 standardized financial concepts this API builds from SEC XBRL (revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit, operating and net income, EPS, assets, liabilities, equity, cash flow, capex, dividends, shares, and more), each with its label, unit, kind (duration flow vs instant balance-sheet snapshot), and the ordered source XBRL tags it is built from. Use to discover valid `concept` values before calling get_metric_history. Read-only reference data; no API key. A concept missing for a given company means the company reports none of its source tags — absence is honest, never approximated.
