Available components
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 Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: this server exposes a tool marked destructive (gaip_watch_remove) and its handshake is open, but we could not confirm whether a tool call is gated, so we do not assert it is callable unauthenticated. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability74
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1570 tokens (~157/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Tools include usage examples.Pass
Stability & Change Management3
- Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage73
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 18% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the GAIP Witness Agent MCP server?
GAIP Witness Agent is a hosted endpoint at https://www.gaipagents.com/mcp/agents/witness, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. 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 →
gaip_citation_witness Witness citations ~194
Check that cited web pages contain the quoted text. Pass `citations` (1-20 {url, quote?, claimed_title?, claimed_date?}). GAIP fetches each public page once (robots.txt respected), and per citation returns QUOTE_FOUND / QUOTE_NOT_FOUND_IN_FETCHED_VERSION / SOURCE_UNREACHABLE / SOURCE_NOT_FOUND_404 / CONTENT_NOT_TEXT / ROBOTS_DISALLOWED, the fetch time, HTTP status, SHA-256 of the fetched bytes, a matched excerpt of at most 300 characters and a receipt. No page copies are kept. Facts about the fetched version only; pages change. Not legal advice and not a judgement on any author. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Need a GAIP receipt in another ecosystem's shape? Pass `receipt_id` and `format`: `x402` (Settlement Attestation Receipt proposal style), `erc8004` (validation-response shape for off-chain publication) or `vc` (W3C-VC-like JSON-LD). Unsigned: integrity via hash chain and Merkle proof only; no on-chain write. Free, read-only, no account.

Keep watching an agent you depend on, for free. kind=AGENT_READINESS re-checks an agent URL's readiness, SUPPLIER_CARD re-fetches its published card and flags BREAKING / NON_BREAKING changes, DELIVERY_TERMS replays witness terms (terms_id from witness_register_terms) and flags NOT_MET. Pass the `continuity_handle` an earlier GAIP result gave you (it proves the watches are yours) and optionally your own public https `webhook_url`: changes are POSTed there signed with X-GAIP-Signature (HMAC-SHA256; the `webhook_secret` is shown once). FREE: 3 watches, each checked at most every 24 hours; every change gets a receipt. Free, read-only, no account.
