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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security83
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
- 89% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Partial
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 6305 tokens (~157/item across 40 items; 38 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage88
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 59% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 38 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 40 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
calculate_ap_score Predict an AP score ~143

get_practice_questions Get multiple-choice practice questions ~700
Returns original, course-specific multiple-choice practice questions. Free-text topics are matched against Fiveable's course map, so natural phrasing works. Omit topic to get balanced practice across the whole subject, with varied units, skills and stimulus formats. For history, science and language subjects this can return source-based sets — one stimulus with several questions off it — and stimulus images come back as viewable images. This is targeted or mixed practice, distinct from Fiveable's durable adaptive diagnostic. Every question carries a `Question id` that supports a saved answer submission for student progress. The recentCorrect and recentAnswered inputs allow the tool to drop to easier question types when a student is missing questions, helping find where understanding breaks down. A returned question set consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this practice feature. Moderate cost — roughly 300 tokens per question, more when images are attached.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| questionFormat | string | yes | "auto" matches what the subject's own practice UI leads with. "stimulus-set" requests source-based questions; "standalone" requests single questions with no shared source. |
| recentAnswered | integer | – | How many questions the student recently answered. Needs 3+ before the tier moves. |
| recentCorrect | integer | – | How many of the student's recent answers were correct, for automatic tier adjustment. |

get_study_plan Get a study plan ~74
Reads one owned study plan, stable task ids, completion state and revision. A plan that is still being built reports pending with a retry delay, so poll this after create_study_plan rather than creating again. Use its revision for task changes. Reading older plans never changes them.

Requires sign-in; one scoring preview is included without a plan, with further scoring available to eligible accounts. The attempt is saved to the student's Fiveable progress. Returns a pending scoring job; poll get_scoring_result. Reuse requestId for retries.

Fiveable for AP Students exposes 38 tools: list_subjects, get_subject_outline, get_study_guide, get_unit_overview, list_key_terms, and 33 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 5,655 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
