## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 70/100
  - 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 1068 tokens (~356/item across 3 items; 2 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

### `find_name_trend` (~274 tokens)

Find name popularity trend

Use this when the user asks how popular a baby name is or was, its rank or number of babies in a year, its trend, peak year, or wants to compare up to 5 names (e.g. "how popular is Olivia", "Emma vs Ava since 1990", "what rank was Jennifer in 1975"). Returns US Social Security birth counts per year 1880-2025, SSA ranks (top 1,000 for past years; listed names in 2025), peak year, highest rank, 10-year change, girls/boys split and other spellings, with a chart. US data only. Does not give name meanings or origins.

Input parameters:

- `names` (array, required): 1 to 5 first names to look up or compare, e.g. ["Olivia", "Charlotte"]. Add (girl) or (boy) to pick a sex per name, e.g. "Avery (boy)". Accents are ignored for lookup (Zoë finds Zoe).
- `sex` (string): Sex for all names, e.g. girl. Default any: each name uses the sex with more US births in 2016-2025.
