## 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 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1349 tokens (~149/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 20/100
  - Stability observed for 6 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 97/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 91% 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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (9)

### `search_results` (~364 tokens)

Search published test results

Search Laboratory.love’s published product-test records. Use this before answering whether a product, brand, or category has been tested. Records are either Laboratory.love-commissioned tests or clearly labeled PlasticList-derived historical records; report which. Results describe the samples tested, not every unit of a product. Covers chemicals that come from plastics (phthalates, BPA and other bisphenols, and phthalate substitutes), the usual meaning of "plastic chemicals" in food; it does not measure microplastic particles, so say so if someone asks about microplastics. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `analyte` (string): Analyte abbreviation or name from list_analytes, e.g. DEHP or BPA. Keeps only results where it was measured.
- `brand` (string): Brand words. PlasticList records have no separate brand field, so this also matches their product name.
- `category` (string): Category slug.
- `cursor` (string): next_cursor from a previous call with the same filters.
- `detected` (boolean): With analyte: true keeps results where that analyte was detected in at least one sample; false keeps results where it was measured but never detected. Without analyte: any analyte.
- `limit` (integer)
- `q` (string): Words to match in the product name, brand, category, or tags, e.g. "Coca-Cola Zero" or "tofu".
- `sort` (string): Defaults to relevance when q is given, otherwise tested_on_desc.
- `source` (string): Only commissioned (Laboratory.love-commissioned) or plasticlist_derived records.
- `tag` (string): A PlasticList source tag such as "sodas" or "baby_food".

### `get_result` (~132 tokens)

Get one test result

Get the full public record for one result id from search_results: provenance, every sample with its lot and analyses, every analyte measurement with its status, LOQ where known, and Laboratory.love’s per-serving exposure ratings with their assumptions. When answering: name the source (commissioned vs PlasticList-derived), keep detected / below_limit_of_quantitation / not_detected / not_tested distinct, give sample counts, and do not call a product safe because values are low or not detected. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Result id such as "cf-116" or "pl-72".

### `list_analytes` (~65 tokens)

List analytes

List the chemicals Laboratory.love reports (abbreviations such as DEHP, DBP, BPA, BPS), their categories, lab panels, and how each feeds the exposure ratings. Use it to explain abbreviations or to pick an analyte filter. Read-only.

### `search_crowdfund` (~95 tokens)

Search crowdfunding products

List products the public can fund toward laboratory testing, with goal, amount funded, amount remaining, and status. Defaults to products currently accepting contributions. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (string): next_cursor from a previous call with the same filters.
- `limit` (integer)
- `q` (string): Words to match in the product name or brand.
- `status` (string): Defaults to accepting_contributions.

### `get_crowdfund_status` (~59 tokens)

Get crowdfunding status

Get live funding status for one crowdfunding product id: goal, funded, remaining, allowed contribution range, and the result link once tested. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Crowdfunding product id from search_crowdfund.

### `create_contribution_checkout` (~161 tokens)

Create contribution checkout link

Write (treat as a sensitive, purchase-starting action; confirm the product and amount with the person first). Creates a secure Stripe-hosted checkout link for a contribution toward testing one crowdfunding product. Nothing is charged by this call: the person must open checkout_url and pay. Returns the amount, currency, seller, refund terms, and expiry. Use get_checkout_status to see whether they paid.

Input parameters:

- `amount` (integer, required): Whole US dollars; must be within the product’s contribution range (minimum $5, or less if less remains).
- `id` (string, required): Crowdfunding product id.
- `idempotency_key` (string): Optional key; repeating a call with the same key and arguments returns the same checkout instead of a new one.

### `list_testing_tiers` (~48 tokens)

List testing tiers

List the direct testing packages a person can buy to have Laboratory.love test products they choose: price, number of products, samples, panels, turnaround, and refund terms. Read-only.

### `create_testing_checkout` (~146 tokens)

Create testing order checkout link

Write (treat as a sensitive, purchase-starting action; confirm the tier, price, and product links with the person first). Saves a pending testing order and creates a secure Stripe-hosted checkout link for it. Nothing is charged by this call: the person must open checkout_url and pay. Use get_checkout_status to see whether they paid.

Input parameters:

- `idempotency_key` (string): Optional key; repeating a call with the same key and arguments returns the same checkout.
- `products` (array, required): Products to test (at most the tier’s product count), each a public http(s) product page.
- `tier` (string, required): Tier id from list_testing_tiers.

### `get_checkout_status` (~56 tokens)

Get checkout status

Check whether a checkout created by this connector is awaiting payment, paid, processing, or expired. Report "paid" only when this returns paid. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `checkout_id` (string, required): checkout_id returned by a checkout tool.
