## 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 2026-10-24.

- **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**: 37/100
  - 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 980 tokens (~163/item across 6 items; 3 tools + 3 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 40/100
  - Stability observed for 12 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 95/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 83% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 73/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## MCP tools (3)

### `create_draw` (~418 tokens)

Creates a Secret Santa / Amigo Invisible / Amigo Secreto / gift exchange draw and pairs the participants randomly, honouring exclusion rules (e.g. couple-couple, sibling-sibling). The first participant in the list is the organizer. The required inputs are the date and at least 3 participants; the budget, the exclusions, a personal invitation message and the locale are optional. The draw is created immediately and cannot be modified from this server afterwards. The result returns the draw id and its share code, and lists two ways to invite the participants: send_invitations_email (an email to each participant) or get_group_share_message (a message to paste into a group chat).

Input parameters:

- `date` (string, required): Date of the draw, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
- `drawName` (string): Optional. If omitted, a localized default is generated (e.g. "Amigo Invisible 2026", "Amigo Secreto 2026", "Intercambio de regalos 2026", or "Secret Santa 2026").
- `locale` (string): Optional BCP 47 language tag for the user (e.g. "es-ES", "es-MX", "es-AR", "en-GB"). It determines the Secret Santa Raffle brand (website) and the language of the message templates and emails: argume…
- `message` (string): Optional invitation email body. If omitted, a localized default is used. The placeholder "ParticipanteX" is replaced with each recipient name.
- `participants` (array, required): Minimum 3 participants. The first is the organizer.
- `price` (string): Optional gift budget, free text. Examples: "20€", "$25".

Output parameters:

- `brand` (string)
- `date` (string)
- `drawId` (integer)
- `drawName` (string)
- `organizerName` (string)
- `participantCount` (integer)
- `price` (string)
- `shareCode` (string)
- `widgetLabels` (object)

### `send_invitations_email` (~230 tokens)

Sends the email invitation to all participants of a draw created in this same conversation. Each participant receives a personal email invitation. The send is immediate and cannot be recalled; a draw admits one bulk send. Takes the drawId and shareCode returned by create_draw.

Input parameters:

- `drawId` (integer, required)
- `locale` (string): Optional BCP 47 language tag for the user (e.g. "es-ES", "es-MX", "es-AR", "en-GB"). It determines the Secret Santa Raffle brand (website) and the language of the message templates and emails: argume…
- `shareCode` (string, required): Access credential of the draw, returned by create_draw (structuredContent.shareCode). Whoever holds it can send the invitations of that draw.

Output parameters:

- `brand` (string)
- `drawId` (integer)
- `invitationsSent` (boolean)

### `get_group_share_message` (~229 tokens)

Generates a ready-to-paste WhatsApp/Telegram message announcing a freshly created draw, which the user copies into the relevant chat. Localized in Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Mexico) or English according to the brand. It is the alternative to send_invitations_email for sharing without emails: nothing is sent.

Input parameters:

- `drawName` (string, required)
- `locale` (string): Optional BCP 47 language tag for the user (e.g. "es-ES", "es-MX", "es-AR", "en-GB"). It determines the Secret Santa Raffle brand (website) and the language of the message templates and emails: argume…
- `organizerName` (string, required): Usually the first participant of the draw (the organizer).

Output parameters:

- `brand` (string)
- `locale` (string)
- `messageText` (string)
