## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 86/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 37 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 634 tokens (~126/item across 5 items; 5 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**: 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.

**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.

## MCP tools (5)

### `metrics` (~162 tokens)

Get a public social post's metrics. Give a post URL (YouTube, X/Twitter incl. view counts, TikTok incl. photo posts, Bluesky, Mastodon (major instances), Hacker News (points + comments), Stack Overflow (views + score + answers), Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn — short links like vm.tiktok.com and t.co resolve automatically) and get normalized { platform, views, likes, comments, shares, quotes, bookmarks, publishedAt, title, author, thumbnail } — shares = reshares (X retweets, TikTok shares, Bluesky reposts); quotes = quote posts (X, Bluesky); bookmarks = saves (X). Free.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The public post URL (short links OK).

### `metrics_batch` (~73 tokens)

Get metrics for many posts and/or profiles in one call. Pass an array of URLs (max 50, mixed post and profile URLs welcome); returns { count, results }, order preserved — each result is the metrics object or { url, error }.

Input parameters:

- `urls` (array, required): Public post URLs (max 50).

### `history` (~159 tokens)

Get the recorded metrics history of a post OR a profile — the growth curve. Every fresh metrics fetch records a { t, views, likes, comments, shares, quotes, bookmarks } snapshot (profiles: { t, followers, posts }); this returns the series (oldest first). Pass `since` (ISO-8601 or unix ms) to get only the points after that moment — poll the delta, not the whole series. An empty series means the URL hasn't been fetched yet: call `metrics` or `profile` on it to start the series.

Input parameters:

- `since` (string): Optional — ISO-8601 date or unix milliseconds; only points after this moment are returned.
- `url` (string, required): The public post or profile URL.

### `profile` (~134 tokens)

Get account-level metrics for a profile URL — { platform, handle, name, followers, following, posts, likes, verified, avatar }. Live: YouTube channels (subscribers), TikTok users (exact counts + total hearts), Instagram accounts (exact counts), Facebook pages (page followers), X accounts (followers/following/posts), Bluesky accounts (exact counts), Mastodon accounts (exact, major instances). Threads, LinkedIn, and login-walled Facebook need a session cookie.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The profile URL (e.g. youtube.com/@handle, tiktok.com/@user, instagram.com/user).

### `profile_batch` (~106 tokens)

Get account-level metrics for many profile URLs in one call — same as `profile` but up to 50 URLs at once. Mixed platforms welcome (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Bluesky, Mastodon). Returns { count, results }, order preserved — each result is a profile object or { url, error }. Useful for comparing follower counts across a list of creators/accounts.

Input parameters:

- `urls` (array, required): Profile URLs (max 50, mixed platforms OK).
