## 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 2026-11-04.

- **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 406, 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**: 75/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1811 tokens (~258/item across 7 items; 5 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 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.
- **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 7 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).

## MCP tools (5)

### `screen_name` (~452 tokens)

Screen one name against sanctions and terror lists

Screen a person, company, vessel or aircraft name against OFAC SDN + Consolidated, UN, EU, UK and the UAE Local Terrorist List. Returns up to 20 hits sorted by score with list, listed_name, aliases_matched, score, match_strength (exact / strong / possible / weak), matched_on (which alias, which normalisation, DOB / nationality / type agreement), programs, listed_on, DOBs, nationalities, id_numbers, reference and source_url, plus decision_hint. Example: name 'Mohamed Hussein Al-Tikriti', dob '1966', nationality 'IQ', entity_type 'individual'. Response: result plus data_confidence, estimated_items[], sources[] (official list pages), data_version (snapshot id), warnings[] (e.g. a list snapshot older than 7 days) and a disclaimer. Lists: ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae. Names are never logged; matching is deterministic (no AI) and runs offline against the bundled snapshot.

Input parameters:

- `dob`: Date of birth 'YYYY', 'YYYY-MM' or 'YYYY-MM-DD'. Year match adds, mismatch subtracts; omit if unknown.
- `entity_type` (string): individual | entity | vessel | aircraft | any (default). Disagreement with the listed type costs 20 points.
- `id_number`: Passport / national ID / registration number. An exact match on a listed number is reported as 'exact' (score 100).
- `lists`: Subset of lists to screen (default all): ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae.
- `min_score` (number): Minimum score (0–100) for a hit to be returned; default 85. 80 widens the net for onboarding, 92 for alert review.
- `name` (string, required): Full name to screen, Latin or Arabic script (e.g. 'Mohamed Al Rashid' or 'محمد الراشد').
- `nationality`: Nationality / country of incorporation as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 ('AE', 'IR', 'GB'). Omit if unknown.

### `screen_batch` (~314 tokens)

Screen up to 500 names in one call

Each subject may carry dob, nationality, entity_type, id_number and your reference. Identical rows are screened once (charged once). Returns per-subject decision_hint, hit_count, top_score and the top 5 hits, plus summary counts (clear / review / likely_match). Charged per unique name. Example: subjects [{name:'Ali Kony', reference:'C-17'}, {name:'شركة الأمل للتجارة', entity_type:'entity'}], default_nationality 'AE'. Response: result plus data_confidence, estimated_items[], sources[] (official list pages), data_version (snapshot id), warnings[] (e.g. a list snapshot older than 7 days) and a disclaimer. Lists: ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae. Names are never logged; matching is deterministic (no AI) and runs offline against the bundled snapshot.

Input parameters:

- `default_nationality`: ISO2 applied to rows without a nationality.
- `lists`: Subset of lists to screen (default all): ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae.
- `min_score` (number): Minimum score (0–100) for a hit to be returned; default 85. 80 widens the net for onboarding, 92 for alert review.
- `subjects` (array, required): Up to 500 subjects (name + optional dob / nationality / entity_type / id_number / reference). Identical rows are screened once.

### `audit_report` (~323 tokens)

Produce an HTML audit report of a screening

Screens 1–50 subjects and returns a self-contained HTML report (result.html): timestamp, each list with its version / fetched-at / SHA-256, the inputs, every hit with its explanation, and an explicit no-match statement for clear subjects — suitable for the client's AML file (open in a browser, print to PDF). One charge per report. Example: subjects [{name:'Qusay Saddam Hussein', dob:'1966'}], case_reference 'KYC-2026-0412', prepared_by 'MLRO'. Response: result plus data_confidence, estimated_items[], sources[] (official list pages), data_version (snapshot id), warnings[] (e.g. a list snapshot older than 7 days) and a disclaimer. Lists: ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae. Names are never logged; matching is deterministic (no AI) and runs offline against the bundled snapshot.

Input parameters:

- `case_reference`: Your case / client file reference, printed on the report.
- `lists`: Subset of lists to screen (default all): ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae.
- `min_score` (number): Minimum score (0–100) for a hit to be returned; default 85. 80 widens the net for onboarding, 92 for alert review.
- `prepared_by`: Name / role of the compliance officer, printed on the report.
- `subjects` (array, required): 1 to 50 subjects to include in one report.

### `list_status` (~167 tokens)

Freshness and provenance of every bundled list

Per list: entries (individuals / entities / vessels / aircraft), aliases, fetched_at, days_since_fetch (stale flag when older than 7 days), official source URL and page, SHA-256 of the downloaded file, licence/terms, and any failures of the last refresh. Free. Call it before relying on a 'clear' result in a regulated process. Response: result plus data_confidence, estimated_items[], sources[] (official list pages), data_version (snapshot id), warnings[] (e.g. a list snapshot older than 7 days) and a disclaimer. Lists: ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae. Names are never logged; matching is deterministic (no AI) and runs offline against the bundled snapshot.

### `explain_match` (~217 tokens)

Show why two names do or don't match

Normalises both names step by step (Unicode, Arabic letter folding, honorifics/particles dropped, merged 'Abdul…' forms split, romanisation variants folded) and returns every score component (token_sort, token_set, Jaro-Winkler, subset, or the cross-script skeleton) and the resulting score / strength. Free. Example: name_a 'Abd al-Rahman Al Shaikh', name_b 'عبدالرحمن الشيخ'. Response: result plus data_confidence, estimated_items[], sources[] (official list pages), data_version (snapshot id), warnings[] (e.g. a list snapshot older than 7 days) and a disclaimer. Lists: ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, un, eu, uk, uae. Names are never logged; matching is deterministic (no AI) and runs offline against the bundled snapshot.

Input parameters:

- `name_a` (string, required): First name to compare (Latin or Arabic).
- `name_b` (string, required): Second name to compare (Latin or Arabic).
