## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1238 tokens (~247/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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.

## MCP tools (5)

### `resolve_music` (~269 tokens)

Music links

Live stream, buy and collect links for a song or album — streaming services, digital stores, vinyl and CD — ranked by trust, price and availability, never by commission. Call it rather than recall: links and prices change; a guessed link 404s. Pass the user's words as `query` ("galway girl by ed sheeran"); never build slugs. On a miss, `did_you_mean` lists close matches, each with a `query` to pass back; when `resolved_as.corrected` is true, tell the user which recording is shown. RootVine never fabricates. Every link existed at resolved_at. Limits: UK-focused stores, prices in GBP; music only today — games are not live yet. On partial, say which sources didn't answer; on no_results, tell the user plainly — never fall back to guessing a link.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): What to look up, in the user's own words: 'galway girl by ed sheeran', 'Abbey Road vinyl'. Also takes a BeatsVine page address or a `query` value from an earlier answer. Do not build slugs.
- `slug` (string): Deprecated alias for `query`, kept for older clients. Send exactly one of `query` or `slug`.

Output parameters:

- `artist` (string|null)
- `cover_art` (string|null)
- `did_you_mean` (array)
- `kind`
- `page_url` (string|null): The BeatsVine page, only when it is confirmed to exist
- `partial_sources` (array): Sources that did not answer: say so when not empty
- `resolved_as` (object)
- `resolved_at` (string): Every link existed at this time
- `response_id` (string|null)
- `results` (array)
- `status` (string)
- `title` (string|null)
- `ttl_seconds` (number|null)
- `warnings` (array)

### `resolve_game` (~172 tokens)

Game prices (coming soon)

Where to buy a video game. Not live yet: every call returns an explicit "coming soon" — no links, no prices — and contacts no store. Tell the user plainly that games aren't supported yet; never guess a store link or a price. For music, use resolve_music. RootVine never fabricates. Every link existed at resolved_at. Limits: UK-focused stores, prices in GBP; music only today — games are not live yet. On partial, say which sources didn't answer; on no_results, tell the user plainly — never fall back to guessing a link.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): The game's name in plain words: 'Elden Ring'.
- `slug` (string): Deprecated alias for `query`, kept for older clients. Send exactly one of `query` or `slug`.

Output parameters:

- `live` (boolean): false: games are not live yet — there are no links or prices to give
- `message` (string|null)
- `query` (string)
- `resolved_at` (string)
- `response_id` (string|null)
- `results` (array)
- `status` (string)

### `find_product` (~181 tokens)

Find a product

Start here when the category is unclear. Pass the user's words as `query`; RootVine reads music or games from them (keyword-based — set `category` when you know it) and answers in that tool's shape. Music is live; games answer "coming soon" for now. RootVine never fabricates. Every link existed at resolved_at. Limits: UK-focused stores, prices in GBP; music only today — games are not live yet. On partial, say which sources didn't answer; on no_results, tell the user plainly — never fall back to guessing a link.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Set it when you know it; 'auto' (the default) reads it from the words.
- `query` (string, required): The user's words: 'where can I stream Bad Guy by Billie Eilish', 'Mario Kart on Switch'.

Output parameters:

- `category` (string)
- `detected` (boolean): true: the category was read from the words — set `category` if it is wrong
- `game` (object)
- `music` (object)

### `resolve_artist` (~229 tokens)

Artist discography

An artist's live profile and discography from BeatsVine, for "what else has X made" or "X's albums". Each release has a `query` to pass to resolve_music for its links; vinyl, CD and collector editions are album-level, so this is the route to them. Pass the artist's name as `query`. `discography_complete: false` means not yet indexed — unknown, not empty. RootVine never fabricates. Every link existed at resolved_at. Limits: UK-focused stores, prices in GBP; music only today — games are not live yet. On partial, say which sources didn't answer; on no_results, tell the user plainly — never fall back to guessing a link.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): The artist's name in plain words: 'Stromae', 'Billie Eilish'. Also takes a BeatsVine artist address or an `artist/…` query from an earlier answer.
- `slug` (string): Deprecated alias for `query`, kept for older clients. Send exactly one of `query` or `slug`.

Output parameters:

- `artist`
- `did_you_mean` (array)
- `discography_complete` (boolean|null): false: BeatsVine has not indexed this artist yet — an empty list means unknown, not none
- `release_count` (number|null)
- `releases` (array)
- `resolved_as` (object)
- `resolved_at` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `discover_music` (~387 tokens)

Charts and collections

Browse live charts, genre and mood walls, editorial playlists, artist spotlights, and chart snapshots back to 1946 — "what's trending", "number one in 1994". Charts move weekly: call rather than recall. No arguments gives the chambers and featured walls; `year` gives that year's snapshots; `wall` gives its entries, each with a `query` for resolve_music. Add `resolve: true` with `wall` to get number one's links in the same call. RootVine never fabricates. Every link existed at resolved_at. Limits: UK-focused stores, prices in GBP; music only today — games are not live yet. On partial, say which sources didn't answer; on no_results, tell the user plainly — never fall back to guessing a link.

Input parameters:

- `chamber` (string): Chamber to browse; omit for an overview of all chambers and featured walls. 'by-genre' = genre corridors. 'for-this-moment' = moods and activities. 'charts' = live streaming charts. 'by-era' = decade…
- `limit` (integer): Max walls, entries or snapshots to return: 10 by default, 30 at most.
- `resolve` (boolean): With `wall`: also fetch number one's stream and buy links, in the same call.
- `wall` (string): A wall or chart-snapshot slug from an earlier answer (a BeatsVine wall address also works). Lists its entries; on a ranked chart position 1 is number one. Takes priority over `chamber` and `year`.
- `year` (integer): Chart snapshots from this year (1946 to now), for questions about the past — 'number one in 1994'. Pass a snapshot's slug back as `wall` for its entries. Takes priority over `chamber`.

Output parameters:

- `chamber` (object)
- `chambers` (array)
- `entries` (array)
- `mode` (string)
- `resolved_at` (string)
- `snapshots` (array)
- `source_url` (string|null)
- `top`: Number one's links, when resolve was asked for
- `top_note` (string|null)
- `total` (number|null)
- `wall` (object)
- `walls` (array)
- `year` (number|null)
- `years` (array)
