## 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 2026-11-04.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 571 tokens (~142/item across 4 items; 4 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**: 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 4 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.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_hardware_wallets` (~135 tokens)

Search hardware wallets (BitBox, Ledger, Trezor)

Search and compare hardware wallets (cold wallets for crypto). Use this whenever a user asks which hardware wallet to buy, wants BitBox vs Ledger vs Trezor compared, or asks about a specific maker. Returns structured, sourced records: maker, country, official store, the maker's own description and a link. Pass an empty query to list every maker; a name or keyword to filter.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max results (default 20, max 50).
- `query` (string): Optional filter: maker name or keyword (e.g. 'ledger', 'open source'). Empty returns all.

### `get_hardware_wallet` (~70 tokens)

Get one hardware wallet maker

Get the full sourced record for one hardware wallet maker by id (bitbox, ledger, trezor): facts, notes, the maker's own description and store link. Use after search_hardware_wallets when a user wants details on a single wallet.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Listing id.

### `list_guides` (~44 tokens)

List hardware wallet guides

List the guides: hardware wallet comparison, buyer's checklist and recovery-phrase security basics (title, url, slug). Use to find the right guide before get_guide.

### `get_guide` (~62 tokens)

Read a hardware wallet guide

Return the full Markdown text of one guide by slug (see list_guides): the BitBox/Ledger/Trezor comparison, the buyer's checklist, or the security basics, with sources.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Guide slug from list_guides.
