## 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**: 66/100
  - 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 2279 tokens (~759/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.

### `generate_seating_chart` (~1140 tokens)

Generate seating chart

Use this when the user wants a seating chart or seating plan: a classroom seating chart for students (rows, pairs or groups of 4; keep two students apart; seat some students near the front; mixed groups; a new random seating chart each week that avoids last week's neighbours) or a wedding, party or banquet seating chart (round or long tables of N, keep couples and households together, keep two guests apart, head table, kids table). Accepts typed names or an uploaded roster or guest list (CSV/Excel). It checks each hard rule and reports any conflict, naming the rules that cannot all hold together. Returns the chart, a soft-preference score, and links to a printable PDF, place cards and Excel. Same seed gives the same chart; change seed to reshuffle. Each call saves new PDF and Excel files (which include the names) on the plugin server for 1 hour (private download links), then deletes them. Rosters are not saved. Does not seat stadiums, theaters or airplanes.

Input parameters:

- `aisle_breaks_adjacency` (boolean): Classroom pairs: true if the aisle between desk pairs separates students, so the seat across the aisle does not count as beside. Default false (across the aisle counts as beside).
- `columns` (integer): Classroom: desks per row (rows), desk pairs per row (pairs), or groups per row (groups), e.g. 6.
- `escort_sort` (string): Events: sort the alphabetical escort card list by last_name (default) or first_name.
- `front_rows` (integer): Classroom: how many rows count as the front for needs_front_seat, e.g. 1 (default).
- `group_count` (integer): Classroom groups layout: number of groups, e.g. 7. Default: just enough for everyone.
- `group_size` (integer): Classroom groups layout: students per group, e.g. 4 (default).
- `head_table_seats` (integer): Events shorthand: add a long head table with this many seats for VIP guests, e.g. 10.
- `keep_apart` (array): Hard rule: people who must not sit next to each other (classroom: not beside, in front, behind or diagonal, nor in the same group; in pairs the seat across the aisle counts as beside unless aisle_bre…
- `keep_together` (array): Hard rule: people who must sit next to each other (classroom) or at the same table (events). Each inner list is one rule, e.g. [["Ann Lee","Bob Lee"]].
- `kids_table_seats` (integer): Events shorthand: add a kids table with this many seats for guests marked child, e.g. 8.
- `label_rule` (string): How to use labels: mix (spread each label across groups and neighbours; the classroom default), group (seat the same label together, e.g. college friends; the event default), or ignore.
- `layout` (string): Classroom desk layout: rows (single desks, default), pairs (desks in twos), or groups (pods/tables of group_size).
- `mode` (string, required): classroom for a teacher's seating chart of desks; event for a wedding, party, banquet or gala with tables.
- `people` (array): The students or guests: plain names ("Ava Martinez") or objects with flags, e.g. {"name":"Cara Diaz","needs_front_seat":true}. Leave out when a roster file is attached.
- `prefer_apart` (array): Soft preference: try to keep these people apart; scored, not forced. Each inner list is one rule, e.g. [["Uncle Joe","Aunt Sue"]].
- `prefer_together` (array): Soft preference: try to seat these people together; scored, not forced. Each inner list is one rule, e.g. [["Mia","Zoe"]].
- `previous_seat_order` (array): Classroom rotation: last chart's seat_order from this tool (names by seat number, "" for empty desks). The new chart avoids last time's neighbours and desks.
- `roster_file` (object): Optional class roster or guest list as CSV, TSV or Excel .xlsx with a header row: a Name column (or First/Last), and optional Party/Household, Group/Label, Front seat, VIP, Child, RSVP, Keep apart (n…
- `rows` (integer): Classroom rows/pairs: number of rows from the front, e.g. 5.
- `seats_per_table` (integer): Events shorthand: seats per regular table, e.g. 8 (default) or 10.
- `seed` (integer): Shuffle number, e.g. 1 (default). The same inputs and seed give the same chart; use another number to reshuffle.
- `table_count` (integer): Events shorthand: number of regular guest tables, e.g. 12. Default: just enough.
- `tables` (array): Events: table setup, e.g. [{"count":1,"seats":10,"type":"head","shape":"long"},{"count":12,"seats":8}].
- `title` (string): Title printed on the chart, e.g. Period 3 - Room 114, or Lee & Park Wedding.

### `check_seating_chart` (~1035 tokens)

Check seating chart

Use this when the user already has a seating chart (typed rows or tables, or a file with Name and Table columns) and wants to check it against rules: who must be kept apart, kept together, needs a front seat, households together, head table and kids table, table capacities. Returns each broken rule with the people involved, the soft-preference score, and the same printable PDF, place cards and Excel for that chart. Does not move anyone; to make a new chart use generate_seating_chart. Each call saves new PDF and Excel files (which include the names) on the plugin server for 1 hour (private download links), then deletes them. Not for stadium or airline seat maps.

Input parameters:

- `aisle_breaks_adjacency` (boolean): Classroom pairs: true if the aisle between desk pairs separates students, so the seat across the aisle does not count as beside. Default false (across the aisle counts as beside).
- `chart` (array): The existing chart to check. Classroom rows/pairs: one entry per row, front row first. Groups/events: one entry per group or table.
- `columns` (integer): Classroom: desks per row (rows), desk pairs per row (pairs), or groups per row (groups), e.g. 6.
