Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 1 of 23 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability83
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1621 tokens (~124/item across 13 items; 12 tools + 1 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 Management90
  • Stability observed for 27 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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
  • 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 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 14 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~1,186 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
analyze_intent ~87

Parse a creative prompt into structured intent dimensions. Returns: detected camera language, motion, lighting, style, mood signals, identified gaps, and which models suit the current signals best.

NameTypeReqDescription
mediumstring"image", "video", or "auto" (default, auto-detected)
promptstringyesRaw creative text (rough idea or full prompt — both work)

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

community_benchmark ~91

Compare your prompt against community top scorers for this model. Scores your prompt, then queries the Dali graph to find: - Which A-grade community patterns are absent from your prompt - Which enhancement patterns would give you the biggest score gain - Where you sit vs the community average for this model

NameTypeReqDescription
modelstringyesTarget generation model
promptstringyesYour prompt to benchmark

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

creative_patterns ~156

Community graph intelligence: which patterns consistently produce high-grade prompts for this model? Powered by the Dali V3 graph brain — every prompt scored by every Dali user contributes to this. The more community usage, the richer the signal. Also returns: enhancement unlocks (which patterns added during enhance_prompt have produced the highest score gains for this model).

NameTypeReqDescription
gradestringMinimum grade filter — "A" (only A-grade), "B" (A+B), "C" (A+B+C)

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

dali_version ~46

Return the current Dali server version and changelog. Useful for checking if your MCP is connected to the latest server, or for debugging version mismatches between the pip package and hosted API.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

enhance_prompt ~133

Rewrite a prompt using AI to score higher on the target model. Returns a rewrite brief — YOU (the LLM) write the enhanced prompt from it. Dali provides creative intelligence: what's missing, the model's native language rules, structure template, priority fixes, and length target. You provide creative execution: actually writing the better prompt.

NameTypeReqDescription

my_story ~103

Your Dali creative intelligence report. Shows your prompt scoring history across all models: - Total prompts scored + this month's count - Average score and model breakdown - Grade distribution (how many A, B, C, D, F scores) - Your creative DNA: patterns that define your highest-scoring work (V3 graph) - A personal insight on where you'd improve fastest Requires login at dali.getlulu.dev. History is tied to your GitHub account.

score_and_enhance ~107

Score a prompt AND get an AI-enhanced version in one call. Combines score_prompt + enhance_prompt into a single round-trip. Returns: original score, enhanced prompt, and new score — so you can see the exact improvement before deciding which version to use.

score_prompt ~162

Score a prompt for a specific generation model (0–100). Returns a ScoreCard: overall score, letter grade (A–F), per-dimension breakdown, what's missing, detected anti-patterns, and a one-line verdict on whether it's safe to generate. Supported models: veo3, seedance, kling, runway, wan, minimax, higgsfield, sora, flux, midjourney, ideogram, firefly, imagen Aliases: "veo" → veo3, "mj" → midjourney, "sd" → flux, "gen4" → runway, "hailuo" → minimax

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

Common questions

What is the Dali by Lulu MCP server?

Dali by Lulu is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Lulu-The-Narwhal/dali. The prediction MCP, score your prompt before you generate, so you never waste a credit. This page covers its PyPI package (dali-mcp).

Is the Dali by Lulu MCP server safe to use?

Dali by Lulu scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Dali by Lulu MCP server expose?

Dali by Lulu exposes 12 tools: analyze_intent, score_prompt, enhance_prompt, creative_patterns, community_benchmark, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,186 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Dali by Lulu MCP server still maintained?

Dali by Lulu is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
