## 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 2026-08-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 49/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 8 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 406, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 62/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1173 tokens (~146/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 33/100
  - Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 96/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 89% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

## MCP tools (8)

### `search_businesses` (~262 tokens)

Search businesses

Search the Agora registry of verified local businesses. Coverage currently centres on Malaysia (Klang Valley) and expands market by market — if a search returns nothing for a place, say Agora does not cover it yet rather than that no such business exists. Use this to find a business by need and location, e.g. "aircon repair near Bangsar". Results are ranked by verification tier first, then how recently the business confirmed its details, then distance. Every result carries a verificationTier you should respect: never describe an "unverified" listing as verified.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Category slug from the taxonomy, e.g. "home-services/aircon". Matches sub-categories too.
- `limit` (integer)
- `minTier` (string): Require at least this verification tier.
- `near` (object): Search origin. Results include distance and are ranked partly by proximity.
- `query` (string): Free text, e.g. "aircon repair" or "halal chicken supplier".
- `radiusM` (integer): Search radius in metres. A business is also matched if the origin falls inside its own service area.
- `verifiedOnly` (boolean): Exclude unverified listings. Recommended when you will act on the result.

### `get_business` (~71 tokens)

Get business

Full public profile for one business: offerings and prices, opening hours, area served, languages, photos and verification status. Contact details are never included — use contact_business to reach them.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string): Business id.
- `slug` (string): Business slug, as it appears in the listing URL.

### `get_attestation` (~97 tokens)

Get attestation

Check whether a business holds a current Veri5 attestation. Returns the reference, the exact claim that was hashed, and the chain coordinates — so the badge can be checked against Veri5 chain 63868 WITHOUT trusting Agora. Use this before telling a user a business is verified, and prefer the payload’s own `note` when describing how far the claim goes.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Business id OR slug. Both are accepted.

### `request_quote` (~239 tokens)

Request a quote

Ask a business for a price on a specific job, as a structured request. Prefer this over contact_business whenever the customer wants a price — the reply comes back with a parsed price, conditions and availability, so quotes from several businesses can be compared. Requires an authorized key. Neither side sees the other’s contact details.

Input parameters:

- `budgetMaxSen` (integer): The most the customer will pay, in sen. Used to filter, never shown to the business as a target.
- `id` (string, required): Business id OR slug. Both are accepted.
- `locationArea` (string): Where the work is, e.g. "Bangsar, KL".
- `neededBy` (string): When they need it, e.g. "next week" or "2026-09-01".
- `offeringId` (string): Offering id from get_business, when the customer picked one.
- `quantity` (number)
- `scope` (string, required): What the customer needs done, in plain language. Be specific — a vague scope gets a vague price.
- `unit` (string): e.g. "units", "rooms", "kg".

### `contact_business` (~152 tokens)

Contact business

Send an enquiry to a business through the Agora relay. The message reaches the business on the channel it already uses; its reply comes back on the same thread. Neither side sees the other’s contact details. Only verified businesses can be contacted. Returns a threadRef to poll with get_thread.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Business id OR slug, exactly as returned by search_businesses. Both are accepted.
- `message` (string, required): The enquiry, written for a human to read on their phone. Include what is needed, where, and when. Do NOT include links or ask for credentials — those are rejected.
- `subject` (string): Short subject line, e.g. "Aircon service in Bangsar".

### `wait_for_reply` (~116 tokens)

Wait for a reply

Hold on until the business answers an enquiry or quote request, up to about a minute. PREFER THIS over polling get_thread in a loop: it returns the moment a reply lands. If it returns answered=false, the business simply has not replied yet — say so and offer to check again rather than treating it as a failure.

Input parameters:

- `threadRef` (string, required): Thread reference returned by contact_business or request_quote.
- `timeoutSeconds` (integer): How long to hold the connection open waiting. Default 45, maximum 55.

### `get_thread` (~60 tokens)

Get thread

Read a relayed conversation, including any reply from the business. Poll this after contact_business — businesses answer on their own time, so a reply may not be there immediately.

Input parameters:

- `threadRef` (string, required): Thread reference returned by contact_business or request_quote.

### `report_listing` (~69 tokens)

Report listing

Flag a listing that is wrong, unreachable, or not a real business. This feeds re-verification and keeps the registry trustworthy.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Business id OR slug. Both are accepted.
- `note` (string)
- `reason` (string, required): Why this listing should be reviewed.
