MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~1,835 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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

did_inspect_tool ~293

Capability Trust: before calling an agent tool with real-world consequences (money, email, deploys, deletes, permissions), ask what it can actually affect. DidWork statically analyses the tool implementations in a project — MCP server.tool / registerTool handlers and did.tool() declarations, TypeScript/JavaScript only — and returns a capability profile per tool: evidenced capabilities (e.g. financial.refund, communication.external, data.delete) each backed by file:line evidence, a risk level (low/moderate/high/critical/unknown), a separate confidence level, and a status: verified (profile established), failed (DECLARATION_MISMATCH: the implementation exceeds what did.tool() declares), or unknown (insufficient evidence). Treat unknown as 'not shown to be safe', never as low risk; it usually means the tool calls something injected at runtime or loads code dynamically. Omit `tool` for the project summary and one row per tool; pass `tool` for the full profile with evidence and gaps. Runs locally, reads source only, no API key needed, nothing is uploaded.

did_verify ~727

Independently verify that an intended outcome is actually true. Sends claim fields (including private repository identifiers, branches and commit SHAs), optional subject/account labels and tool profiles to the configured DidWork API (default https://api.didwork.sh). DidWork reads provider state without modifying it, but authenticated verification creates a DidWork record containing the claim, verdict, timestamps and evidence, which may include provider response data. Verification evidence is retained under the account plan (Free: 7 days; Pro: 365 days). Keyless http.ok does not store a verification record. Host approval rejection means the tool was blocked, not a failed or unknown DidWork verdict; report it separately and do not retry through another route. Send a claim (type + expected); DidWork gathers evidence from the authoritative system and returns a verdict: verified, failed, or unknown. Gate your next action on the verdict — an agent should not grade its own work. Treat unknown as 'do not proceed yet'. Prefer the most specific claim type for the outcome; http.ok is the fallback and is unauthenticated, so it cannot see private repos, dashboards or anything behind a login — against those it reports a 404 as failed, which says nothing about whether the work landed. Claim types, by provider (connect providers at https://didwork.sh/console): stripe.refund, stripe.payment_succeeded, stripe.subscription_active, stripe.subscription_cancelled, stripe.invoice_paid, stripe.checkout_completed, stripe.payout_paid, stripe.payment_method_attached; github.pr_merged, github.workflow_passed, github.issue_closed, github.release_published, github.commit_in_branch, github.file_exists, github.deployment_succeeded, github.pr_review_approved, github.branch_exists; gitlab.mr_merged, gitlab.pipeline_passed, gitlab.issue_closed, gitlab.commit_in_branch, gitlab.file_exists, gitlab.release_published; linear.issue_completed, linear.issue_in_state, linear.issue_assigned; jira.issue_done,…

did_verify_contract ~257

Verify a reviewed version 2 outcome contract. Pass the requirements unchanged; never remove or weaken requirements to obtain a pass. The caller must load the contract from the trusted source. DidWork records caller-supplied provenance, independently gathers claim evidence and returns a run. Reuse the same idempotency_key after an interrupted request. A verified run covers only its required checks. Requires an API key. Sends claim fields (including private repository identifiers, branches and commit SHAs), optional subject/account labels and tool profiles to the configured DidWork API (default https://api.didwork.sh). DidWork reads provider state without modifying it, but authenticated verification creates a DidWork record containing the claim, verdict, timestamps and evidence, which may include provider response data. Verification evidence is retained under the account plan (Free: 7 days; Pro: 365 days). Keyless http.ok does not store a verification record. Host approval rejection means the tool was blocked, not a failed or unknown DidWork verdict; report it separately and do not retry through another route. The full contract and caller-supplied provenance are also sent and stored on the outcome run.

idempotency_keystringyes

No output schema declared.

did_watch ~410

Continuously re-verify a claim on an interval (e.g. '10m', '1h'). DidWork notifies the webhook_url on the first run and on verdict transitions. Plan limits apply: a free key may run one watch, hourly at most ('1h'), and a shorter interval or a second watch is refused with 402 watch_cadence_requires_pro or 402 watch_limit_reached. Pro keys run unlimited watches down to '5m'. If a watch is refused, say so — do not retry at the same cadence. Sends claim fields (including private repository identifiers, branches and commit SHAs), optional subject/account labels and tool profiles to the configured DidWork API (default https://api.didwork.sh). DidWork reads provider state without modifying it, but authenticated verification creates a DidWork record containing the claim, verdict, timestamps and evidence, which may include provider response data. Verification evidence is retained under the account plan (Free: 7 days; Pro: 365 days). Keyless http.ok does not store a verification record. Host approval rejection means the tool was blocked, not a failed or unknown DidWork verdict; report it separately and do not retry through another route. Stores the schedule and webhook URL in DidWork; sends notifications to that URL.

Common questions

What is the DidWork MCP server?

DidWork is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as sh.didwork/didwork. Verify that an agent's claimed outcome actually happened, using independently gathered evidence. This page covers its npm package (@didwork/mcp).

Is the DidWork MCP server safe to use?

DidWork scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 23 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the DidWork MCP server expose?

DidWork exposes 10 tools: did_verify, did_get, did_verify_contract, did_get_run, did_list, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,835 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the DidWork MCP server still maintained?

DidWork is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the DidWork MCP server under?

DidWork declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
