## 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 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 691 tokens (~172/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 37/100
  - Stability observed for 11 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_stories` (~217 tokens)

Search market-linked news stories

News stories from the last 48 hours for one country (IN or US) that are linked to a listed company, commodity, index or the rupee. Each story says what it reports about those instruments and names up to three sources. Information only — never investment advice. Without a query it returns the most relevant stories; with one, the stories that mention the query's words. Results are paged with a cursor.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Market the story affects: 'IN' (India) or 'US'.
- `cursor` (string): next_cursor from the previous page of the same search. Omit for the first page.
- `hours` (integer): Lookback window in hours, default 24, max 48 — older stories are purged.
- `limit` (integer): Stories per page, default 5, max 10.
- `query` (string): Words to look for, e.g. a company, commodity or topic: 'crude oil', 'Reliance', 'RBI'.

Output parameters:

- `code` (string)
- `country` (string)
- `next_cursor` (string|null)
- `stories` (array)
- `total` (number)
- `window_hours` (number)

### `list_instruments` (~121 tokens)

List instruments with stories

The listed companies, commodities, indices, currency and central-bank policy rates that have at least one FocusPulse story right now, for one country (IN or US), with how many stories each has. Use it to see what is covered before asking for an instrument's stories with get_instrument_stories. Information only — never investment advice.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Market: 'IN' (India) or 'US'.
- `hours` (integer): Lookback window in hours, default 24, max 48 — older stories are purged.

Output parameters:

- `code` (string)
- `country` (string)
- `instruments` (array)
- `total` (number)
- `window_hours` (number)

### `get_instrument_stories` (~248 tokens)

Get stories for one instrument

News stories linked to one instrument, newest first, for one country (IN or US). The instrument can be a listed company by name or ticker ('Reliance', 'HDFCBANK'), a commodity ('crude oil', 'gold'), an index ('Nifty'), the rupee, or a central bank's policy rate ('repo rate'). Unlike search_stories, which matches words, this returns the stories linked to that instrument. A name FocusPulse does not track returns UNKNOWN_INSTRUMENT — use list_instruments to see what is covered. Stories are kept 48 hours. Information only — never investment advice.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Market the story affects: 'IN' (India) or 'US'.
- `cursor` (string): next_cursor from the previous page of the same request. Omit for the first page.
- `hours` (integer): Lookback window in hours, default 48, max 48.
- `instrument` (string, required): One company (name or NSE/US ticker), commodity, index, 'rupee' or 'repo rate'.
- `limit` (integer): Stories per page, default 5, max 10.

Output parameters:

- `code` (string)
- `country` (string)
- `instruments` (array)
- `next_cursor` (string|null)
- `stories` (array)
- `total` (number)
- `window_hours` (number)

### `get_story` (~105 tokens)

Get one story

One story by its id, as returned by search_stories or get_instrument_stories: the headline, a summary, what it reports about the instruments it is linked to, the publications that reported it (up to 10, with links) and earlier stories on the same instruments. Returns NOT_FOUND for an unknown id or a story older than 48 hours. Information only — never investment advice.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The story's id, from a previous result.

Output parameters:

- `code` (string)
- `earlier` (array)
- `story`
