## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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 2026-08-20.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it.
  - 2 of 30 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 32/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - License check failed: the license (MIT License) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license.
  - Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 658 tokens (~329/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-20 (score 62)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (2)

### `diagnose_symptoms` (~303 tokens)

Real, ranked next troubleshooting steps for a PC that won't boot or
show any display, given what's already been tried. Not a diagnosis of
the exact broken part — a real technician's standard sequence, ordered
by what's cheapest/fastest to rule out first.

powers_on: does ANYTHING happen when you press the power button (any
  light, any fan movement, any sound) — false means dead/no-power,
  a completely different problem class than a POST failure.
fans_spin: do the fans spin at all when powered on.
fans_stay_running: do they keep spinning, or spin briefly then stop
  (the latter is a real, specific PSU/motherboard protection signal).
display_output: is there ANY video signal reaching the monitor.
tried_cmos_reset: already removed the CMOS battery / used the
  CLR_CMOS jumper.
tried_minimal_config: already stripped to CPU + 1 RAM stick + no
  discrete GPU (or GPU alone) to isolate the cause.
tried_different_cable_or_monitor: already confirmed the monitor and
  cable work on a different, known-good computer.

Input parameters:

- `display_output` (boolean)
- `fans_spin`
- `fans_stay_running`
- `powers_on` (boolean, required)
- `tried_cmos_reset` (boolean)
- `tried_different_cable_or_monitor` (boolean)
- `tried_minimal_config` (boolean)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `lookup_beep_code` (~221 tokens)

Looks up a beep pattern against real, sourced BIOS beep-code
tables. bios_type must be one of: ami_legacy, ami_aptio, award_phoenix
— ami_legacy and ami_aptio are genuinely different tables (legacy
AMIBIOS vs. modern AMI Aptio/UEFI use different codes for the same
beep counts), pick the wrong one and you'll get the wrong answer, so
check which BIOS the actual board uses before trusting the result.

pattern: free text describing what you heard, e.g. "10 short",
  "1 long, 2 short", "continuous", "3 short, 3 long, 3 short".

Returns None-equivalent text (not a fabricated guess) when the exact
pattern isn't in the real table this tool has data for — modern
boards increasingly have no speaker at all and use debug LEDs
instead, so no match is real information, not a tool failure.

Input parameters:

- `bios_type` (string, required)
- `pattern` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)
