## 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 2026-08-18.

- **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**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 872 tokens (~290/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-17 (score 69, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-15 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-14 (score 67, 0)

- [functional] Server version: 1.0.4 → 1.0.5

### 2026-08-13 (score 67, +1)

- [functional] Server version: 1.0.3 → 1.0.4

### 2026-08-11 (score 66, +3)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

## MCP tools (3)

### `tru8_check` (~588 tokens)

Evidence research for a factual claim or article URL.

    Submit a claim as text or paste an article URL. URLs are auto-detected
    and trigger article mode: the pipeline extracts claims from the page
    and auto-selects up to 5 for evidence research.

    Tiers (in fallback order):
    - lookup    (~£0.02, instant) — cached prior analysis
    - consensus (~£0.03, instant) — cross-user aggregate landscape (k≥3 checks)
    - quick     (~£0.07, ~15s) — web search + heuristic classification
    - full      (~£0.15, ~60-90s) — web + specialist APIs, LLM classification, coverage recovery

    Charges based on tier actually executed, not tier requested.
    Set max_tier to control maximum spend per call.

    Output structure:
    - claims[].claimMap.elements[] — verifiable sub-claims with state
      (supported/disputed/unresolved)
    - claims[].claimMap.elements[].evidenceRefs[] — evidence mapped to elements
      with relationship (supports/challenges/context) and reasoning
    - claims[].evidence[] — sources classified by tier (primary/reporting/
      commentary) and type (data/official/news/analysis/opinion/academic)
    - claims[].claimMap.orientation — mechanical summary from element states
    - _meta — execution metadata: executedTier, chargedPence, limitations

    Per-argument guidance lives on the parameters themselves (see the
    Annotated/Field declarations above), which is where a client can actually
    read it — a docstring "Args:" block never reaches the tool's inputSchema.

Input parameters:

- `claim` (string, required): A factual claim ("The Earth's average temperature rose 1.1°C since 1880") or an article URL (https://example.com/article). URLs are auto-detected and the pipeline extracts claims from the page conten…
- `compact` (boolean): If true, strip the full evidence arrays and computed analytics from the response, leaving claims and claim maps. Smaller payload for agents that only need orientation.
- `max_age_hours`: Skip cache hits older than this many hours. Stale lookup hits are discarded and the pipeline re-runs at the next tier up to max_tier. 0 means never serve a cached result.
- `max_tier` (string): Maximum tier to attempt — "lookup", "consensus", "quick" or "full" (default). A CEILING, not a floor: cached and consensus hits still return instantly at their own lower price, so the default costs ~…

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `tru8_get_result` (~133 tokens)

Retrieve a previously submitted check with pre-computed analytics.

    Returns the full result including a _computed block with tier/type
    distributions, corroboration groups, diagnostic values, timeline
    analysis, element state summaries, and per-claim dispositions.

    Use this over tru8_get_result_raw when you want structured analytics
    ready for summarisation or comparison without post-processing.

Input parameters:

- `check_id` (string, required): The check UUID returned by tru8_check. Retrieval is free and limited to your own checks; a check still running returns its status rather than a result, so this is also the poll call.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `tru8_get_result_raw` (~97 tokens)

Retrieve a previously submitted check without computed analytics.

    Returns claims, elements, evidence, and claim maps only. No _computed
    block. Smaller response payload. Use this when you will compute your
    own aggregations or only need specific fields from the raw data.

Input parameters:

- `check_id` (string, required): The check UUID returned by tru8_check. Same retrieval as tru8_get_result, without the computed analytics block.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)
