## 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 2026-09-21.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 11 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 53/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 582 tokens (~52/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 67/100
  - Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

### What is the Trust Switchboard MCP server?

Trust Switchboard is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.paul-salviani/trust-switchboard. Ask "Are you on Trust Switch?" before your agent deals with another agent. Free. Never blocks. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://170.64.146.185.sslip.io/mcp).

### Is the Trust Switchboard MCP server safe to use?

Trust Switchboard scores 67 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Trust Switchboard MCP server expose?

Trust Switchboard exposes 11 tools: whats_good_for, trust_check, handshake, log_intent, commit_recommend, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 582 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Trust Switchboard MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Trust Switchboard without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Trust Switchboard MCP server still maintained?

Trust Switchboard is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
