## 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.

  - 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.

### `pa_medical_check_exclusion` (~506 tokens)

Is this healthcare provider precluded from the Pennsylvania Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program? Screens a person or business name, an NPI, a license number, and/or a federal EIN against the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) Medicheck Precluded Providers List — the state-level counterpart to the federal HHS OIG LEIE (see the leie pack) for Pennsylvania specifically, and the sibling of ny_omig_check_exclusion (New York), ca_medical_check_exclusion (California), tx_medical_check_exclusion (Texas) and fl_medical_check_exclusion (Florida). Answers "is this provider precluded from Pennsylvania Medicaid", "check this NPI against the PA Medicheck list", or pre-payment/credentialing screening for a Pennsylvania Medicaid provider. An NPI, license-number, or FEIN match is an IDENTIFICATION (all three are exact, provider- or business-specific identifiers); a name match — even an exact one — is a CANDIDATE lead only, since this list carries no date of birth to tell same-named providers apart. Every match carries DHS's own Status field (Precluded, Terminated, Reinstated, Suspended, Withdrawal, and similar) and a currently_precluded flag DERIVED from that status — null with status_unknown:true on the minority of rows where DHS's own Status is blank, rather than a guess. This dataset covers everyone EVER precluded, not only those currently precluded. Pass npi, license, or fein to turn a name lead into an identification. Sourced from the Pennsylvania DHS Medicheck Precluded Providers List, keyless.

Input parameters:

- `fein` (string): Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) of the business, if known. An EIN match is an identification.
- `license` (string): Pennsylvania professional license number, if known, e.g. "AJ006399L". A license match is an identification.
- `limit` (number): Maximum matches to return (default 10, max 50).
- `name` (string): Provider or business name to screen, e.g. "John Smith" or "Acme Home Health Inc". Matched against the provider's individual name, business name, and any recorded alias, any word order.
- `npi` (string): The provider's 10-digit NPI, if known. An NPI match is an identification rather than a name lead — always pass it when known.

### `pa_medical_exclusion_coverage` (~233 tokens)

What the Pennsylvania DHS Medicheck Precluded Providers data covers and how current it is: total rows ever recorded, how many are currently precluded vs. ended vs. status-unknown, how many carry an NPI, license number, or FEIN, the distinct status values DHS uses, and the oldest/newest preclusion effective dates. Use to check the screening data is fresh enough to rely on before a compliance decision, and to see the one-line notes on the status field's gaps and the ever-vs-currently-precluded distinction. Pass year (e.g. 2025) or start_date/end_date to instead COUNT how many preclusions have an effective date in that year or range, counted over the whole 6,700+ row list, not a page — answers "how many PA Medicheck preclusions took effect in 2025". The response names the date field counted (begin_date / DHS's BeginDate — never list_date, which answers a different question and gives a different number). Sourced from the Pennsylvania DHS Medicheck Precluded Providers List, keyless.
