Available components
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. How we score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability83
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 452 tokens (~113/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
- Stability observed for 8 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
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 17 Aug 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

check_conformance Check an MCP server for conformance and disclosure ~165
Measure a public MCP endpoint against five conditions: it speaks MCP, it publishes an A2A agent card, it declares who pays it, identical input returns identical output, and the verdict itself can be recomputed by anyone. Free, no key. Conformance and disclosure only; this says nothing about whether any figure the checked server returns is correct. By default no tool on the checked server is called, so determinism comes back as not measured rather than guessed. Set allow_tool_call true only for a server you control.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| allow_tool_call | boolean | – | Consent to executing one tool on the checked server, twice, with empty arguments. Only set this for a server you own. Default false. |
| endpoint | string | yes | https URL of the MCP endpoint to measure |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_conditions Get the conformance conditions ~56
Return the five conditions this gate measures, what it explicitly does not verify, and the tier definitions. Takes no arguments and returns identical output every time. Read this before running a check so you know what a verdict does and does not claim.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
lookup_server Look up an MCP server on this register ~137
Look up what this register already holds about an MCP endpoint: whether it is watched, how often it is re-measured, how many measurements exist, when the first and latest were taken, and the latest verdict with the record_sha256 you can recompute yourself. Reads stored measurements only — it contacts nothing and measures nothing, so use check_conformance for a fresh reading. An endpoint that is absent is reported as absent and that is NOT a negative verdict: it means nobody has measured it here, not that it failed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| endpoint | string | yes | https URL of the MCP endpoint to look up, exactly as it appears on the register |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify_verdict Recompute a verdict hash without trusting the issuer ~94
Take a verdict this gate issued and recompute its record_sha256 independently. Removes record_sha256 and recompute_note, serialises the remainder in key order, and hashes it. Returns whether the verdict was altered after it was issued. You do not have to trust the party that issued the verdict, including this one.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| record | object | yes | The full verdict object as returned by check_conformance or GET /self |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
