## 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**: 71/100
  - 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 1047 tokens (~349/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.

## MCP tools (2)

### `plan_gift_exchange` (~559 tokens)

Plan Secret Santa draw

Use this when the user wants to draw names for a Secret Santa or gift exchange (secret santa generator, name draw, no email needed), including exclusions such as couples, households, "Ana can't draw Bo", or last year's pairs, an optional no 2-person loops rule, a budget, an exchange date, wish lists, and an organizer note. Returns one private reveal link per participant plus copy-ready messages; each pairing is encrypted inside the link, so the result never shows who drew whom. Explains exactly why when no valid draw exists. Handles 3 to 60 people. Does not send emails or texts and does not store anything. Do not use for White Elephant or Yankee Swap games (use plan_white_elephant) or for picking one random winner.

Input parameters:

- `budget`: Gift budget as the group says it, e.g. $30, 25 EUR, or £20-£25.
- `event_name` (string): Name of the exchange shown on every link, e.g. Office Holiday Party 2026.
- `exchange_date` (string): Gift exchange date as YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-12-18.
- `exclusions` (array): One-way rules such as "Ana can't draw Cy" or last year's pairs, e.g. [{"giver":"Ana","cannot_draw":"Cy"}]. Cy may still draw Ana unless a second rule says otherwise.
- `households` (array): Couples or households whose members must not draw each other (both directions), e.g. [["Ana","Bo"],["Cy","Dee","Eli"]].
- `include_organizer_list` (boolean): true only when the organizer explicitly asks to see every pairing; adds a link to the full list, which spoils the surprise for them. Default false.
- `language` (string): Language of the reveal pages and share messages: en, es, fr, de, pl, pt, or ja (e.g. pl). Default en.
- `no_two_person_loops` (boolean): true = never let two people draw each other (no A gives to B while B gives to A). Default false.
- `organizer_note` (string): Optional note shown on every reveal page, e.g. Wrap gifts and bring them to the kitchen by 3 pm.
- `participants` (array, required): Everyone taking part (3 to 60 people), e.g. ["Ana","Bo","Cy","Dee","Eli","Fay"]. Names must be unique; add a last initial to tell two people with the same name apart. Any language or script works.
- `wish_lists` (array): Optional wish lists. Each one is shown only to the person who draws that participant.

Output parameters:

- `budget` (string|null)
- `downloads` (object)
- `draw_code` (string)
- `event_name` (string|null)
- `exchange_date` (string|null)
- `exchange_date_label` (string|null)
- `exclusions` (array)
- `households` (array)
- `language` (string)
- `message_template` (string)
- `mode` (string)
- `participants` (array)
- `rules` (array)
- `sampling` (string)
- `valid_arrangements` (object)
- `warnings` (array)

### `plan_white_elephant` (~387 tokens)

Plan White Elephant game

Use this when the user wants to run a White Elephant, Yankee Swap, or Dirty Santa gift game: shuffles a fair random turn order for 3 to 60 players and writes the rules (steal limit per gift, optional cap on steals per turn, no immediate steal-backs, player 1's final swap), with a printable PDF (Letter or A4) that includes a gift tracker and a printable web page. Does not run the game live or track steals. Do not use for Secret Santa name draws (use plan_gift_exchange).

Input parameters:

- `budget`: Gift budget, e.g. $25.
- `event_name` (string): Name printed on the rules sheet, e.g. Team White Elephant 2026.
- `first_player_final_swap` (boolean): true (default) = player 1 gets a final turn to swap with any unfrozen gift, since they never had a chance to steal.
- `max_steals_per_turn` (integer): Optional cap on steals in one turn's chain, e.g. 2. Omit for no cap.
- `no_immediate_steal_back` (boolean): true (default) = you cannot steal back the gift that was just taken from you.
- `paper` (string): PDF paper size: letter (default) or a4, e.g. a4.
- `participants` (array, required): Everyone playing (3 to 60 people), e.g. ["Ana","Bo","Cy","Dee","Eli","Fay","Gus","Hal"]. Names must be unique.
- `party_date` (string): Party date as YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-12-12.
- `steal_limit` (integer): How many times one gift can be stolen before it is frozen, e.g. 3 (default). 0 turns stealing off.

Output parameters:

- `budget` (string|null)
- `downloads` (object)
- `event_name` (string|null)
- `first_player_final_swap` (boolean)
- `max_steals_per_turn` (number|null)
- `mode` (string)
- `no_immediate_steal_back` (boolean)
- `party_date` (string|null)
- `party_date_label` (string|null)
- `rules` (array)
- `steal_limit` (number)
- `turn_order` (array)
- `warnings` (array)
