## 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**: 71/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - The endpoint enforces authorisation, but returns a challenge with no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 401, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to verify sse.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read it.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read them.

**Unverified: 6 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

Ask a natural language question about Canadian government data. Uses AI to search the pipeline sources it can reach (committees, lobbying, procurement, regulations, courts, oversight) and return a cited, synthesized answer. The answer is model-generated from retrieved records; verify the cited records before relying on the synthesis, and absence of an answer is not evidence of absence in the source.

- `format` (string): Output format (default: summary)
- `query` (string): Search for sources/tools matching text

### `signal_check` (~101 tokens)

Check for new or changed items across the government data sources this tool watches (committees, Gazette, lobbying, procurement, oversight). Returns items first seen since the last check, as recorded by this tool's local signal store; a source that did not respond yields no items rather than a negative finding. Use this proactively to detect new regulatory filings, committee activity, or lobbying registrations.

Input parameters:

- `sources` (array): Sources to check (default: every watched source)

### `system_health` (~99 tokens)

Check the MapleSpike API service health. Returns service status, version, environment, tenant tier, current API call usage (daily/monthly), local free-tier quota (1,000 calls/month per identity, then x402 charged per call), per-dependency health checks (API server, storage, cache) with response times, and query optimization statistics (cache hit rate, result limits). Use this to verify the API is responding and to check your quota.

### `resolve_entity` (~153 tokens)

Resolve a person or organization name to the mentions found in MapleSpike data sources. Returns a consolidated profile with canonical name, aliases, source appearances (committees, lobbying, procurement, corporate, etc.), roles, and dates. Coverage is limited to modules that have ingested and linked records for this name — a missing registry means no linked record, not that none exists.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Name to resolve — person (e.g. "John Smith") or organization (e.g. "Lockheed Martin Canada")
- `threshold` (number): Fuzzy matching threshold (default: 0.7, higher = stricter)
- `type` (string): Entity type hint (default: auto-detect)

### `find_connections` (~125 tokens)

Discover the relationship network around a person or organization. Returns connected entities (people, organizations), relationship types (employs, lobbies, directs, owns), and confidence scores. Use this for conflict-of-interest detection, influence mapping, and network analysis. Example: find who a committee witness is connected to via lobbying or corporate roles.

Input parameters:

- `maxConnections` (number): Maximum connections to return (default: 20)
- `name` (string, required): Name to center the network on — person or organization
- `type` (string): Entity type hint (default: auto-detect)

### `linked_entities` (~153 tokens)

Cross-reference an entity across the registries Quill currently tracks (lobbying, GIC, committees, corporate, CanLII, elections, oversight, municipal, provincial). Resolves the name to its canonical entity, then assembles per-registry evidence with confidence. A registry with no linked record returns no hits; confidence is a resolver score, not a source attestation. Use this to answer "what does each registry say about X" in a single call.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Entity name to cross-reference (person or organization)
- `threshold` (number): Fuzzy matching threshold (default: 0.7)
- `type` (string): Entity type hint (default: auto-detect)

### `verify_claim` (~137 tokens)

Look up a Quill claim hash and, when data is supplied, compare the SHA-256 of its canonical JSON representation. A store match checks that a record with this hash is indexed; a recomputed match checks record integrity. Neither establishes source authenticity, completeness, accuracy, or reuse rights. Returns { verified, matches, recomputedSha256 }.

Input parameters:

- `data` (string): Optional JSON value — Quill recomputes the hash of this value after canonical JSON serialization; this does not authenticate its source
- `sha256` (string): SHA-256 hash to verify (accepts "sha256:<hex>" or bare hex)

### `resolve_quill_id` (~155 tokens)

Resolve a question about Canadian public data into canonical Quill IDs you can pass to query_quill. Returns ranked IDs (e.g. /committees, /ircc/study-permits, quill://entity) with descriptions, provenance scores (Quill-computed record-quality signals, not publisher declarations), update cadence, and the underlying tool each ID routes to. You MUST call this before query_quill unless the user provided an ID directly. Do not call more than 3 times per question.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max results (default 5)
- `query` (string, required): The user's question or task — used to rank which Quill IDs are relevant. Do not include sensitive or confidential information.

### `query_quill` (~197 tokens)

Execute a Canadian public data query by Quill ID. You MUST call resolve_quill_id first to obtain a valid ID (format: /category, /category/dataset, or quill://entity) UNLESS the user provided one directly. Each result reports the routed tool name and, when available, a SHA-256 claim hash with a verify_claim recipe for checking the canonical record hash; this does not authenticate the source. Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question.

Input parameters:

- `args` (object): Optional tool-specific arguments (limit, filters, dates) forwarded to the routed tool.
- `id` (string, required): Canonical Quill ID from resolve_quill_id (e.g. "/committees", "/ircc/study-permits", "quill://entity").
- `query` (string, required): What to look up — scoped to a single concept. The routed tool receives this as its primary query.

### `x402-deposit` (~89 tokens)

Deposit USDC on Solana to pre-fund your credit balance. Provide a verified transaction signature and the amount in USDC. Subsequent tool calls draw from this balance without per-call on-chain latency.

Input parameters:

- `expectedAmount` (number, required): Expected USDC amount (decimal, e.g. 0.10)
- `signature` (string, required): Base58 Solana transaction signature proving the deposit
