Category Maps and Location
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency97
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-rentcast). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 615 tokens (~205/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 →
get_property ~84
Get property details for a US address. Returns bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lot size, year built, property type, and owner info when available.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | Rentcast API key |
| address | string | yes | Full street address with city, state, and ZIP (e.g., "123 Oak Ave, Denver, CO 80202") |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_rent_estimate ~98
Get a rental price estimate for a US property address. Returns estimated monthly rent, price range, and comparable rental data. Example: "1234 Main St, Austin, TX 78701".
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | Rentcast API key |
| address | string | yes | Full street address with city, state, and ZIP (e.g., "5500 Grand Lake Dr, San Antonio, TX 78244") |

No examples provided.
search_rental_listings ~380
Search ACTIVE rental listings — individual homes and apartments currently for rent in the US, from RentCast's listing feed. Filter by city+state, ZIP code, or a latitude/longitude radius, plus bedrooms, bathrooms, and property type. Returns each listing's address, monthly rent, beds/baths, square footage, and listing date. Note: bedrooms/bathrooms filters are exact-match (e.g. bedrooms 3 returns only 3-bed homes; for "3-4 beds" call twice). This is the tool for "find homes/apartments for rent near X" — unlike area rent statistics (HUD Fair Market Rents) or single-address rent estimates.
