## 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 2026-08-03.

- **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**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 516 tokens (~129/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**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `list_templates` (~105 tokens)

List all available legal agreement templates as a paginated compact catalog. Returns lightweight metadata for discovery — call get_template for full per-field detail. Templates are returned in stable lexicographic order by template_id. For finding templates by topic, jurisdiction, or source, use search_templates instead.

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (string): Opaque pagination cursor returned by a prior call. Omit on the first page.
- `limit` (integer): Page size (default 25, max 100).

### `search_templates` (~204 tokens)

Search for legal agreement templates by keyword. Uses BM25 ranking to find the most relevant templates matching your query. Searches across template names, descriptions, categories, sources, and field definitions. Use this instead of list_templates when you know what kind of agreement you need.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category filter (exact, case-insensitive). Values: confidentiality, employment, sales-licensing, data-compliance, deals-partnerships, professional-services, venture-financing, other.
- `max_results` (number): Maximum results to return (1-50, default 10).
- `query` (string, required): Search query. Examples: "NDA", "employment offer letter", "NVCA stock purchase", "data processing GDPR", "non-compete Wyoming".
- `source` (string): Optional source filter (exact, case-insensitive). Values: "Common Paper", "Bonterms", "Y Combinator", "NVCA", "OpenAgreements".

### `get_template` (~39 tokens)

Fetch a single template definition with full field metadata.

Input parameters:

- `template_id` (string, required): Template ID, e.g. "common-paper-mutual-nda".

### `fill_template` (~168 tokens)

Fill a legal agreement template with field values and return a document via URL or MCP resource preview metadata. For field-selector templates (e.g. NVCA), also generates a redline (track-changes) document comparing the filled output against the standard form.

Input parameters:

- `include_redline` (boolean): Generate a redline (track-changes) document. Defaults to true for field-selectors.
- `redline_base` (string): Base document for redline comparison. "source" = raw standard form (default), "clean" = cleaned intermediate.
- `return_mode` (string): Artifact return mode. Defaults to "url".
- `template` (string, required): Template ID, e.g. "common-paper-mutual-nda".
- `values` (object): Field values to fill in the template.
