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. How we score →

Endpoint Security63
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability62
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1264 tokens (~252/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 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
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 5 exposed · ~913 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens
call_engine ~216

Call a ReefAPI engine action — POST /<engine>/v1/<action> with `params`. Returns the uniform { ok, data, meta, error } envelope. Get param names from get_engine_schema first. Needs YOUR ReefAPI key (the local server reads REEFAPI_KEY; the hosted server reads the `Authorization: Bearer ak_live_...` header you configure on the connection). Get a key at https://reefapi.com. Failed calls cost no credits.

NameTypeReqDescription
actionstringyesThe action to run on that engine (e.g. 'search'), as listed by get_engine_schema.
enginestringyesThe engine's name to call (e.g. 'zillow'), as returned by search_engines or get_catalog.
paramsThe action's parameters as a JSON object, e.g. {'query': 'NYC'}. Get the valid param names and values from get_action_schema first. Omit or pass null for actions that take none.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_action_schema ~163

FULL detail for ONE engine action: every parameter (type, required, description, allowed_values dropdown, default, example, min/max), what it returns, pricing, and a ready-to-run example_params. Call this right before call_engine so you send valid params — invalid enum values are rejected with the allowed list.

actionstringyesThe action's name on that engine (from get_engine_schema, e.g. 'search'). Returns the full param detail (type, required, allowed_values, default, example, min/max), what it returns, pricing, and read…
enginestringyesThe engine's name (e.g. 'zillow'), as returned by search_engines or get_catalog.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_catalog ~130

The FULL ReefAPI catalog — EVERY engine with its one-line title, grouped by category. This is the whole menu (≈ a few thousand tokens); SCAN IT AND PICK THE BEST ENGINE YOURSELF. You are an LLM, so you match the user's intent semantically — across ANY language, typo, or phrasing — far better than a keyword search can. Use this whenever search_engines didn't surface the right engine (or to be sure you didn't miss a better one). After you pick: get_engine_schema(engine) -> get_action_schema -> call_engine.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_engine_schema ~139

COMPACT overview of ONE engine: every action with its description, required params and what it returns — but NOT the full param detail (kept lean so a 90-action engine stays token-cheap). Call this after search_engines to pick the right ACTION, then get_action_schema(engine, action) for that action's full params before call_engine.

NameTypeReqDescription
enginestringyesThe engine's name (the `engine`/`name` field from search_engines or get_catalog, e.g. 'zillow', 'amazon'). Returns each action with its description, required params, and what it returns.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_engines ~265

Find the right ReefAPI engine for a task — pass ENGLISH keywords or a short natural-language use-case ("detect a website's tech stack", "company reviews", "check a package for vulnerabilities", "is this domain available"). The catalog is in English: if the end-user asked in another language, translate their INTENT into English keywords first (you are an LLM — do this inline). Ranks engines by how well the query matches each engine's name/title/category/ACTION descriptions (stem-matched, so plurals/word-forms still hit). Empty query = list all. Returns name/title/category/actions + match score. Call this FIRST, then get_engine_schema(engine) to pick an action. This is a fast keyword pre-filter — if the right engine isn't in the results (or you want to be sure), call get_catalog and pick from the full list YOURSELF (you semantically match any language/phrasing better than keywords).

NameTypeReqDescription
querystringEnglish keywords or a short use-case, e.g. 'company reviews', 'detect a website's tech stack', or 'is this domain available'. Translate non-English intent to English first. Empty = list all engines.

No output schema declared.
