- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability62
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 820 tokens (~273/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management23
- Stability observed for 7 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
ca_rx_new_drug_launches ~242
California manufacturer disclosures of a NEW prescription drug launched with a Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC — published list price) exceeding the Medicare Part D specialty-drug cost threshold — California's "launch price" transparency requirement, filed with HCAI's Cost Transparency Rx (CTRx) program (same law as ca_rx_wac_increases, different trigger: a NEW drug's starting price rather than an existing drug's price increase). Search by drug name/fragment or manufacturer, optionally pinned to one report year (2019-present). Returns the launch WAC, estimated patient population, and breakthrough-therapy/priority-review FDA designations when disclosed. California-only. Keyless.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| drug | string | – | Drug name or fragment, e.g. "Vraylar", "Opdualag". |
| limit | number | – | Max records to return, 1-100 (default 25). |
| manufacturer | string | – | Manufacturer name or fragment, e.g. "AbbVie", "Bristol Myers Squibb". |
| year | string | – | Report year, "2019".."2026". Omit to search every available year. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
ca_rx_wac_five_year_history ~183
The 5-year WAC increase history California requires manufacturers to disclose alongside each WAC Increase Report — every prior increase for that NDC over the preceding 5 calendar years, with its date and amount. Use this to see a drug's full price trajectory rather than just its latest jump (ca_rx_wac_increases). Lookup is by NDC (get one from ca_rx_wac_increases first if you only have a drug name). Part of HCAI's CTRx program. California-only. Keyless.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | number | – | Max history rows to return, 1-200 (default 50). |
| ndc | string | yes | National Drug Code, any common format. |
| year | string | – | Report year to pin to, "2019".."2026". Omit to search every available year. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
ca_rx_wac_increases ~335
California manufacturer disclosures of a prescription drug's Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC — the published list price before rebates/discounts) going UP. Required by California law (SB 17/AB 265) whenever a drug's WAC exceeds $40 for a course of therapy AND the increase exceeds the statutory cumulative threshold; filed with HCAI's Cost Transparency Rx (CTRx) program. Search by drug name/fragment, manufacturer, or NDC, optionally pinned to one report year (2019-present; omit to search every year). Returns each increase's amount, the WAC after the increase, and whether the record comes from the still-open current year or a closed annual archive. This is the LIST price a manufacturer sets, not what any payer or pharmacy actually pays — for that, see the drug-prices pack's nadac_price/asp_payment_limit tools. California-only: see the pack README for which other states publish this and in what form. Keyless.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| drug | string | – | Drug name or fragment, e.g. "Humira", "insulin glargine", matched against the drug product description. |
| limit | number | – | Max records to return, 1-100 (default 25). |
| manufacturer | string | – | Manufacturer name or fragment, e.g. "AbbVie", "Novo Nordisk". |
| ndc | string | – | National Drug Code, any common format. |
| year | string | – | Report year, "2019".."2026". Omit to search every available year (recommended for a single drug/manufacturer/NDC lookup). |
No output schema declared.
