## 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 2026-10-22.

- **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**: 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 1082 tokens (~270/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `spin_wheel` (~371 tokens)

Spin the wheel

Use this when the user wants to spin the wheel, use a wheel spinner or random name picker, pick a random name or option from a list (wheel spinner with names, yes or no wheel, food wheel, custom wheel), or call on people one at a time. Draws 1 or more different winners with cryptographic, unbiased randomness and shows an animated wheel that lands on the winner. Repeated entries (matched ignoring case) or weights give bigger slices. Returns the winners, each entry's chance, and the remaining entries when remove_winners is true. For fun, classroom, and team decisions only; not for lotteries, gambling, or prize draws that have legal requirements. Does not store results between calls.

Input parameters:

- `count` (number): How many different winners to draw in this spin, a whole number from 1 to 50, default 1, e.g. 3 to pick 3 students.
- `entries` (array, required): The names or options on the wheel, 2 to 200, e.g. ["Ana", "Ben", "Chloe"]. A repeated entry gets a bigger slice: ["Pizza", "Pizza", "Tacos"] gives Pizza 2 of 3 slots.
- `remove_winners` (boolean): If true, the winners are taken off the wheel and the remaining entries are returned for the next spin, e.g. true for calling on each student once.
- `title` (string): Optional wheel title shown above the wheel, e.g. "Who presents first?".
- `weights` (array): Optional whole-number weight (1-1000) per entry, same order and length as entries, e.g. [3, 1, 1] makes the first entry three times as likely. Leave out for equal chances.

Output parameters:

- `chance_percent`
- `entries` (array)
- `equal_chance_percent` (number|null)
- `kind` (string)
- `remaining` (array)
- `remaining_weights`
- `removed` (boolean)
- `title` (string)
- `weights`
- `winner_indexes` (array)
- `winners` (array)

### `make_teams` (~343 tokens)

Make random teams

Use this when the user wants a random team generator: split a list of names into random teams or groups by number of teams or by team size, for a class, a game, a workshop, or a sports session. Team sizes differ by at most 1. Optional rules keep certain pairs apart or groups together. Returns each team's members. Does not balance by skill or rating (assignment is random), and is not for scheduling or seating charts. For fun, classroom, and team decisions only; not for lotteries, gambling, or prize draws that have legal requirements.

Input parameters:

- `keep_apart` (array): Optional pairs who must be on different teams, e.g. [["Ana", "Ben"], ["Chloe", "Dev"]].
- `keep_together` (array): Optional groups who must be on the same team, e.g. [["Eli", "Fay"]].
- `names` (array, required): Everyone to split into teams, 2 to 200 names, e.g. ["Ana", "Ben", "Chloe", "Dev"].
- `team_count` (number): Number of teams to make, a whole number from 2 up to the number of names, e.g. 3. Use this or team_size. Default 2.
- `team_names` (array): Optional team names in order, e.g. ["Red", "Blue", "Green"]. Missing names default to Team 1, Team 2, ...
- `team_size` (number): Target people per team, e.g. 4. Makes as many teams as needed so no team is larger than this; sizes differ by at most 1.

Output parameters:

- `keep_apart` (array)
- `keep_together` (array)
- `kind` (string)
- `people` (number)
- `renamed_duplicates` (array)
- `sizes` (array)
- `team_count` (number)
- `teams` (array)

### `pick_random_number` (~241 tokens)

Pick random numbers

Use this when the user wants a random number generator or number wheel: pick one or more random whole numbers between a min and a max (inclusive), with or without repeats, e.g. a random student number or who goes next. Uses cryptographic, unbiased randomness. Do not use for lottery or Powerball numbers, betting, or login credentials and security codes. For fun, classroom, and team decisions only; not for lotteries, gambling, or prize draws that have legal requirements.

Input parameters:

- `count` (number): How many numbers to pick, a whole number from 1 to 500, default 1, e.g. 5.
- `max` (number): Largest possible whole number, inclusive, -1000000000 to 1000000000, default 100, e.g. 30 for a class of 30.
- `min` (number): Smallest possible whole number, inclusive, -1000000000 to 1000000000, default 1, e.g. 1.
- `unique` (boolean): If true (default) no number repeats, e.g. false to allow repeats like dice rolls.

Output parameters:

- `count` (number)
- `kind` (string)
- `max` (number)
- `min` (number)
- `numbers` (array)
- `unique` (boolean)
