## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 514 tokens (~102/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 89/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 67% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **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 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_models` (~104 tokens)

搜索模型

按名字或类型查找模型 ID。查询模型显存需求前先用它确认 ID；模型名有别名（Qwen3.8 27B / qwen3.8-27b）。返回 id、类型、最小显存、参数规模。

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): 默认 10
- `query` (string): 模型名或别名；省略则列出全部
- `type` (string)

### `model_requirements` (~120 tokens)

模型硬件需求

查询部署某个模型需要的硬件配置：指定量化下的权重大小、最小/推荐显存、证据等级与出处，以及各张显卡的 fits/tight/no 判定与租价。数据可能过期，响应里会给出 data_updated 与 stale。

Input parameters:

- `context_tokens` (integer): 默认 4096
- `model` (string, required): 模型 id 或别名
- `quant` (string): 量化档，如 Q4_K_M；省略则用推荐档

### `fit_check` (~125 tokens)

模型能否跑在某张卡上

判断某模型（指定量化、指定上下文）能否跑在某张显卡上。返回 fits/tight/no/unknown、剩余显存、内存拆解、以及跑不动时的替代方案（降量化/减上下文/换更大卡），并附带该卡的租金。

Input parameters:

- `context_tokens` (integer): 默认 4096
- `gpu` (string, required): 显卡 id 或别名，如 rtx4090
- `model` (string, required)
- `quant` (string)

### `gpu_prices` (~76 tokens)

GPU 租价

查询租用不同类型 GPU 的价格：我们的即时档/排队档报价、host 实得、电费成本、竞品中位价与国内零售价。只有 RTX 4090 有报价，其余显示为未定。

Input parameters:

- `gpu` (string)
- `include_competitors` (boolean): 默认 true

### `data_status` (~45 tokens)

数据新鲜度

报告数据的新鲜度：每个数据文件的更新时间、距今天数、是否超过 60 天阈值。当用户质疑数据是否过时时调用。
