## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs uv_build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 1 of 32 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to Srikarmk/bostonmove).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 5 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 623 tokens (~124/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **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.
- **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**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (5)

### `find_nearby` (~84 tokens)

Find transit stops and bike stations nearby

Use to see what's near a place: MBTA stations and bus stops with walking distance, and Bluebikes stations with live bike and dock counts.

Input parameters:

- `place` (string, required): A station or stop name, an MBTA stop id, an address or landmark in greater Boston, or 'lat,lon'.
- `radius_m` (integer): Search radius in metres.

### `next_departures` (~115 tokens)

Next departures from a stop

Use for "when's the next train/bus": upcoming departures at a stop by route and direction, live when the MBTA has predictions (else the timetable), plus alerts at that stop.

Input parameters:

- `route`: Only this route, e.g. 'Red', 'Green-E', '1', 'CR-Worcester'.
- `stop` (string, required): A station or stop name or id, e.g. 'Northeastern', 'place-pktrm', '110'. A landmark or address uses its nearest stop.

### `service_alerts` (~81 tokens)

Current MBTA service alerts

Use to check for delays, suspensions, shuttles, detours and closures in effect now, for a route, a stop, or the whole system, most severe first.

Input parameters:

- `route`: A route, e.g. 'Red', 'Orange', 'Green-B', '39'.
- `stop`: A station or stop name or id.

### `bike_availability` (~89 tokens)

Bluebikes availability

Use to find a Bluebikes bike or a free dock: the nearest stations with live counts of bikes, e-bikes and empty docks.

Input parameters:

- `need`: Only stations with a bike, an e-bike, or a free dock.
- `place` (string, required): A station or stop name, an MBTA stop id, an address or landmark in greater Boston, or 'lat,lon'.

### `plan_trip` (~139 tokens)

Ways to get from A to B

Use for "how do I get from A to B": walking, Bluebikes and MBTA options with arrival times, using live departures and bike counts. MBTA options are one route, or one change between subway and light-rail lines (Red, Orange, Blue, Green, Mattapan); changes involving buses aren't planned.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string, required): A station or stop name, an MBTA stop id, an address or landmark in greater Boston, or 'lat,lon'.
- `origin` (string, required): A station or stop name, an MBTA stop id, an address or landmark in greater Boston, or 'lat,lon'.
