Category Data and Analytics
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 Security69
- 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 404, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 813 tokens (~271/item across 3 items; 3 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 not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 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
Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

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_cash_rents ~345
County cash rents in dollars per acre, from the USDA NASS annual Cash Rents survey — each row is one county (or an 'OTHER COUNTIES' aggregate) in one year, with the average rent in USD per acre and a utilization-practice category (the stored data currently carries the all-practices average). Use for what farmland rents for; use get_land_values instead for land values (what the land is worth), and list_coverage to check covered states, counties, and years. Read-only lookup of stored survey data; no API key. The survey is annual and the stored copy refreshes once a year after the August NASS release — the latest stored year is 2026. `state` takes a two-letter code (case-insensitive), `county` a county name exactly as stored (uppercase, e.g. 'HANCOCK'), and `year` a single survey year. Returns up to `limit` rows (default 1000), newest year first; a filter combination with no stored rows returns a no-data result rather than an empty list.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| county | string | – | County name exactly as stored (uppercase, e.g. 'HANCOCK'); some rows are 'OTHER COUNTIES' aggregates covering counties NASS does not publish individually |
| limit | number | – | Max rows to return (default 1000, max 1000) |
| state | string | – | Two-letter state code, e.g. 'IA' (case-insensitive; stored uppercase) |
| year | number | – | Survey year as an integer, e.g. 2026 (currently the only stored year — see list_coverage) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_land_values ~346
Average farmland values in dollars per acre by state, from the USDA NASS annual Land Values survey — each row is one state and year with its per-acre value (USD/acre) and a utilization-practice category (the stored data currently carries the all-practices average). Use for what farmland is worth; use get_cash_rents instead for what it costs to rent, and list_coverage to confirm which states and years are stored before querying. Read-only lookup of stored survey data; no API key. The survey is annual and the stored copy refreshes once a year after the August NASS release — the latest stored year is 2026. `state` takes a two-letter code (case-insensitive) and `year` a single survey year; land values are state-level, so county fields are empty and a `county` filter normally matches nothing. Returns up to `limit` rows (default 1000), newest year first; a filter combination with no stored rows returns a no-data result rather than an empty list.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| county | string | – | County name as stored (uppercase, e.g. 'HANCOCK'). Accepted for parity with the REST endpoint and get_cash_rents, but land values are state-level rows with no county, so this normally matches nothing |
| limit | number | – | Max rows to return (default 1000, max 1000) |
| state | string | – | Two-letter state code, e.g. 'IA' (case-insensitive; stored uppercase) |
| year | number | – | Survey year as an integer, e.g. 2026 (currently the only stored year — see list_coverage) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_coverage ~122
Lists what the Farmland API actually holds: row counts and the year range for each dataset (land values and cash rents), the total number of distinct states and counties covered, and the state codes present in each dataset. Use before get_land_values or get_cash_rents to confirm a state or year is covered — the stored data is currently a single survey year, 2026 — or to size a query. Read-only; no API key. This mirrors the REST /v1/status summary and adds the per-dataset state lists. It takes no parameters.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
