Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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
Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 7 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
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 Usability82

100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
Tool/resource definitions use about 18693 tokens (~24/item across 771 items; 7 tools + 764 resources), lean.Pass
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management7

Stability observed for 2 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

MCP tools — 7 exposed · ~949 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens

fetch Fetch one document ~100

Retrieve the full text of one item by id. Accepts a doc_id from search (fauci_diary:entry:00026) and also an OKF concept id (anthony-s-fauci), so a person, organization or topic document can be read the same way. Every response carries the citation to the page of the Committee's PDF it came from.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
id	string	yes	A doc_id from search, or a concept id.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_concept Read one concept in full ~168

Fetch a concept document from the OKF bundle — frontmatter and body — with every cross-link rewritten to an absolute URL, so the bundle can be traversed from what this returns. A person carries activity, correspondents, organization and a chronological statement timeline; a topic carries its principal voices; a source carries provenance and SHA-256. Accepts a slug (anthony-s-fauci), a bundle path (people/anthony-s-fauci.md), a person_id from the site or JSON API (anthony_s_fauci), or a display name (Anthony S. Fauci).

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
id	string	yes	Slug, bundle path, site person_id or display name.
type	string	—	Disambiguates when the same name exists in two collections.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_record Fetch one record ~59

Retrieve a single communication in full by doc_id, with its citation, participants and neighbouring messages where it sits in a conversation.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
doc_id	string	yes	Identifier from search_records, e.g. fauci_diary:entry:00026

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search Search the corpus ~102

Search 18,094 communications from the U.S. Senate HSGAC COVID-19 releases. Returns id, title, excerpt and URL for each match; pass an id to fetch for the full text. This is the standard search contract — search_records offers keyword mode for exact strings and control over quoted material, and search_pages searches the raw OCR text, which is what settles whether something is absent from the corpus.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
query	string	yes	A question or phrase.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_concepts Find a person, organization, topic or package ~162

Search the analysis layer: one cross-linked document per person, organization, topic, released package, media outlet and substantial conversation, each carrying provenance back to the pages it derives from. Use this when the question is who someone is, what a topic covers, or what a package contains — rather than which records match a string, which is search_records. Matches names, aliases and descriptions; get_concept then returns one in full.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
limit	integer	—	Maximum concepts to return (default 20).
query	string	yes	A name, alias, organization or subject, e.g. 'Fauci', 'EcoHealth', 'gain of function'.
type	string	—	Restrict to one collection. Omit to search all of them.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_pages Search the raw page text ~135

Literal search over the OCR text of all 5,247 pages, before segmentation into records. This is the completeness layer: it reaches duplicate copies and pages no record covers, and matches across a whole page rather than within a chunk. Use it to settle whether a phrase appears in the corpus at all — a miss here is much stronger evidence of absence than a miss in search_records, though OCR error and page-spanning lines still make it imperfect.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
limit	integer	—	Maximum pages to return (default 20).
query	string	yes	Literal FTS query; wrap a phrase in double quotes for an exact match.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_records Search the record ~223

Find communications matching a question or phrase. Returns records with speaker, date, grade and a citation to the page of the Committee's PDF. Retrieval only: nothing is summarised, and a record's wording is the record's, not this server's.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
include_quoted	boolean	—	Default false. About 38% of statements are someone else's words and are hidden so they are not attributed to the speaker — but a quote circulating elsewhere is often exactly that, so set this true wh…
limit	integer	—	Maximum records to return (default 20).
mode	string	—	hybrid (default) fuses dense and keyword retrieval and is right for a question. keyword is literal FTS and is the only way to confirm an exact string: dense retrieval matches meaning, so it cannot pr…
query	string	yes	A question, phrase or identifier such as a Bates number. In keyword mode, wrap a phrase in double quotes for an exact match.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
