## 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**: 82/100
  - 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 520 tokens (~130/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**: 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 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.

## MCP tools (3)

### `show_speed_reader` (~166 tokens)

Show speed reader

Use this when the user wants to practice reading supplied text one word at a time. Accepts up to 20,000 characters, 100 to 1,000 words per minute, and 1 to 4 words per flash. Returns the word count and scheduled reading time; it is a training aid and does not measure comprehension.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): Text to pace in the reader, up to 20,000 characters, e.g. The harbor lights returned after the rain.
- `words_per_flash` (integer): Words shown together on each flash from 1 to 4, e.g. 1.
- `words_per_minute` (integer): Pacing speed from 100 to 1,000 words per minute, e.g. 350.

Output parameters:

- `limit_note` (string)
- `scheduled_time` (string)
- `scheduled_time_ms` (number)
- `word_count` (number)
- `words_per_flash` (number)
- `words_per_minute` (number)

### `estimate_reading_time` (~188 tokens)

Estimate reading time

Use this when the user needs a reading-time or speaking-time estimate from text or a word count. Accepts text up to 20,000 characters or 1 to 2,000,000 words, plus 100 to 1,000 wpm or a reader type. Returns a 150 to 800 wpm table; it does not assess reading ability.

Input parameters:

- `reader_type` (string): Optional speed profile when no numeric speed is supplied, e.g. average (250 wpm).
- `text` (string): Optional text to count without returning it, e.g. The report has three short sections.
- `word_count` (integer): Optional known word count when text is not supplied, e.g. 1200.
- `words_per_minute` (integer): Optional reading speed from 100 to 1,000 wpm, e.g. 250.

Output parameters:

- `pace_table` (array)
- `reading_time` (string)
- `reading_time_ms` (number)
- `selected_wpm` (number)
- `speaking_130_wpm` (string)
- `speaking_150_wpm` (string)
- `word_count` (number)

### `run_reading_speed_test` (~90 tokens)

Run reading speed test

Use this when the user wants an original timed reading-speed practice test with comprehension questions. Accepts short, medium, or long passages only. Returns the passage length and four multiple-choice questions with four options each; correct options stay in widget-only metadata. Do not use for medical or learning-disability assessment.

Input parameters:

- `passage_length` (string, required): Original passage length to test, e.g. medium.

Output parameters:

- `instructions` (string)
- `limit_note` (string)
- `passage_length` (string)
- `question_count` (number)
- `questions` (array)
- `word_count` (number)
