## 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**: 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**: 85/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1482 tokens (~87/item across 17 items; 11 tools + 6 resources), lean.
  - 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (11)

### `search` (~179 tokens)

Search the Pinnacle Ask child-development knowledge corpus (pinnacleblooms.org/ask) — real parent questions with clinically grounded, non-diagnostic answers covering speech, motor, social, cognitive, sensory, feeding and behavioural development from birth to 18 years. Returns ranked results with ids; pass a result id to `fetch` for the full answer. Optionally filter by child age in months and/or developmental domain.

Input parameters:

- `age_months` (integer): Optional child age in months (0–216) to bias results.
- `domain` (string): Optional developmental domain filter, e.g. 'speech', 'motor', 'social'.
- `limit` (integer): Max results (1–25, default 10).
- `query` (string, required): Natural-language question or topic, e.g. 'my 2 year old is not talking'.

Output parameters:

- `note` (string)
- `query` (string)
- `results` (array)
- `source` (string)
- `total` (integer)

### `fetch` (~91 tokens)

Fetch the full published answer for a Pinnacle Ask result. `id` accepts a slug from `search`, an /ask path, or a full pinnacleblooms.org/ask URL. Returns the complete answer document (markdown), Everyday Therapy™ tip, what-to-watch guidance, FAQs, and the canonical URL to cite.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Result id — slug, /ask path, or full URL.

Output parameters:

- `id` (string)
- `metadata` (object)
- `text` (string)
- `title` (string|null)
- `url` (string|null)

### `milestones` (~109 tokens)

Developmental milestones from the Pinnacle Ask corpus, optionally filtered by child age in months and developmental domain. Use to answer 'what should my child be doing at N months' style questions. Non-diagnostic.

Input parameters:

- `age_months` (integer): Child age in months (0–216). Strongly recommended.
- `domain` (string): Optional domain filter, e.g. 'speech', 'motor', 'social'.

- `source` (string)
- `tool` (string)

### `red_flags` (~118 tokens)

Early warning signs ('what to watch') for a developmental topic, domain, and/or age in months — framed as guidance to seek professional evaluation, never as a diagnosis. Use when a caregiver asks whether a behaviour is concerning.

Input parameters:

- `age_months` (integer): Optional child age in months (0–216).
- `domain` (string): Optional domain filter.
- `limit` (integer): Max items (1–25, default 12).

### `lookup_code` (~112 tokens)

Look up Pinnacle Ask content by clinical/standards code — WHO ICF (e.g. 'b167'), ICD-11, ICHI, or SNOMED. Returns corpus entries crosswalked to that code. Useful for clinicians, researchers, and policy teams.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): Standards code, e.g. 'b167' (ICF), '6A02' (ICD-11).
- `limit` (integer): Max items (1–25, default 8).

Output parameters:

- `source` (string)
- `tool` (string)

### `pathway` (~87 tokens)

Trace how a developmental topic or skill progresses across age stages — a staged pathway view (e.g. how 'speech' develops from babbling to sentences). Returns corpus entries grouped per stage.

Input parameters:

List the available values for one taxonomy kind across the corpus: persona, route, domain, condition, or age-band. Use this to discover what can be passed to `topic`.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string, required): Taxonomy kind to enumerate.

Output parameters:

- `data`: Sanitised jsonb projection from the locked ask_* RPC layer.
- `disclaimer` (string)
