## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-hcup-inpatient-stats).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 536 tokens (~268/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**: 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 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.

**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 (2)

### `condition_hospital_costs` (~299 tokens)

National U.S. inpatient hospital discharges and aggregate costs by principal diagnosis (CCSR category) and year, from AHRQ HCUP's published "Most Expensive Conditions by Payer" Statistical Brief series — e.g. heart failure, septicemia/sepsis, acute myocardial infarction, COVID-19, stroke (cerebral infarction). Returns the top-20 most expensive conditions nationally (or filtered to one condition) with discharge counts, aggregate cost, and mean cost per stay. Years available: 2022, 2017 (AHRQ has not published a 2021 edition of this cross-condition table as of 2026-10-21). Optionally filter by expected payer (Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay) for 2022.

Input parameters:

- `condition` (string): Condition name (e.g. "heart failure", "sepsis", "stroke") or CCSR code (e.g. "CIR019") to filter to. Omit to get the full top-20 table for that year/payer.
- `payer` (string): Expected payer to filter by. Only 2022 has per-payer tables; other years return the all-payer table regardless of this argument.
- `year` (number): Statistical Brief edition year. One of: 2022, 2017. Defaults to 2022 (the most recent AHRQ has published).

### `sepsis_hospital_outcomes` (~177 tokens)

National U.S. inpatient hospital length of stay and mean cost per stay for sepsis (principal diagnosis), by patient population and year, 2016-2021, from AHRQ HCUP Statistical Brief #306. This is the only public AHRQ cross-year table found that reports a 2021-specific national figure. Separately reports any-listed-diagnosis sepsis stay counts (a broader population than principal diagnosis) for the years AHRQ printed a figure (2016, 2019, 2021).

Input parameters:

- `period` (string): Reporting period. "y2021" is the full-year 2021 estimate (with and without a co-occurring COVID-19 diagnosis combined). Defaults to "y2021".
- `population` (string): Patient population. Defaults to "all".
