## 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 2026-08-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, 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**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 967 tokens (~241/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability observed for 9 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**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (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.

### 2026-08-16 (score 69, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-14 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 17 to 20. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 5 days of observed history at the previous scan, 6 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-12 (score 67, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-11 (score 66, +1)

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

### 2026-08-10 (score 65, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-09 (score 64, 0)

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03

### 2026-08-08 (score 64)

## MCP tools (4)

### `ilo_search_indicators` (~182 tokens)

Search ILOSTAT indicators

Search the ILOSTAT catalogue of ~1,200 indicator dataflows by keywords in the name or id (e.g. "unemployment rate sex age"). Returns dataflow ids to use with ilo_get_data / ilo_get_indicator_metadata. Searches the catalogue only — it does not return statistical values (use ilo_get_data) and does not cover non-ILO sources.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum results (default 20)
- `offset` (integer): Results to skip, for pagination (default 0)
- `provenance_mode` (string): Provenance verbosity: 'concise' (default — source, url, vintage, retrieval date, citation, license) or 'detailed' (full canonical block with dataset, dimension key and notices)
- `query` (string, required): Keywords, matched against dataflow name and id (AND between terms)

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (array)
- `has_more` (boolean)
- `indicators` (array)
- `next_offset` (number)
- `offset` (number)
- `provenance`
- `showing` (number)
- `total_matches` (number)

### `ilo_get_indicator_metadata` (~162 tokens)

Get ILOSTAT indicator metadata

Structure of one ILOSTAT dataflow: dimensions (in SDMX key order), their codelists, the time dimension, the source's default selection and the data vintage (last update at the ILO). Use before ilo_get_data to know which filters exist. Does not return statistical values and does not list the codes themselves (use ilo_list_dimension_values).

Input parameters:

- `dataflow` (string, required): Dataflow id from ilo_search_indicators (e.g. "DF_UNE_DEAP_SEX_AGE_RT")
- `provenance_mode` (string): Provenance verbosity: 'concise' (default — source, url, vintage, retrieval date, citation, license) or 'detailed' (full canonical block with dataset, dimension key and notices)

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (array)
- `data_vintage`
- `dimensions` (array)
- `id` (string)
- `name`
- `provenance`
- `time_dimension`
- `version` (string)

### `ilo_list_dimension_values` (~214 tokens)

List valid codes of a dimension

Valid codes (id + label) of one dimension of an ILOSTAT dataflow — e.g. the country/area codes of REF_AREA or the sex categories of SEX. Use to build correct ilo_get_data filters. Does not return statistical values; not applicable to the time dimension (filter it via start_period/end_period in ilo_get_data).

Input parameters:

- `dataflow` (string, required): Dataflow id the dimension belongs to
- `dimension` (string, required): Dimension id from ilo_get_indicator_metadata (e.g. "REF_AREA", "SEX")
- `limit` (integer): Maximum codes returned (default 200)
- `offset` (integer): Codes to skip, for pagination (default 0)
- `provenance_mode` (string): Provenance verbosity: 'concise' (default — source, url, vintage, retrieval date, citation, license) or 'detailed' (full canonical block with dataset, dimension key and notices)
- `search` (string): Case-insensitive filter on code id or label

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (array)
- `codelist` (string)
- `dataflow` (string)
- `dimension` (string)
- `has_more` (boolean)
- `next_offset` (number)
- `offset` (number)
- `provenance`
- `showing` (number)
- `total_codes` (number)
- `values` (array)

### `ilo_get_data` (~295 tokens)

Get ILOSTAT data

Statistical observations from one ILOSTAT dataflow, filtered by dimension codes (filters, e.g. {"REF_AREA": ["BRA","ARG"], "SEX": "SEX_T"}) and period (start_period/end_period, e.g. "2015"/"2024"). REF_AREA is required, maximum 30 areas per call — for broad panels, split areas into batches and/or paginate by period. Unfiltered dimensions return all their categories. Does not aggregate, convert or otherwise transform values (raw ILOSTAT data only), and does not search indicators (use ilo_search_indicators).

Input parameters:

- `dataflow` (string, required): Dataflow id from ilo_search_indicators (e.g. "DF_UNE_DEAP_SEX_AGE_RT")
- `end_period` (string): Last period, e.g. "2024"
- `filters` (object): Dimension id → code or list of codes (from ilo_list_dimension_values). REF_AREA is required (up to 30 area codes).
- `last_n_observations` (integer): Alternative to periods: only the latest N observations per series
- `provenance_mode` (string): Provenance verbosity: 'concise' (default — source, url, vintage, retrieval date, citation, license) or 'detailed' (full canonical block with dataset, dimension key and notices)
- `start_period` (string): First period, e.g. "2015"

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (array)
- `columns` (array)
- `dataflow` (object)
- `provenance`
- `rows` (array)
- `rows_count` (number)
