## 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 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - 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**: 74/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Tools include usage 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**: 73/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 18% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### 2026-09-27 (score 66)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (10)

### `witness_register_terms` (~125 tokens)

About to depend on a public HTTPS service? Register what a good response looks like (`checks`: http_status_in, content_type_is, non_empty, json_parses) and get a `terms_id`. Then call witness_delivery to have GAIP independently check what the service returns. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `checks` (array, required)
- `data_classification` (string)
- `seller_ref` (string, required)
- `service_url` (string, required)

### `witness_delivery` (~178 tokens)

Check public delivery evidence

Check a service's real response against terms you registered with witness_register_terms. mode=PUBLIC_REPLAY makes GAIP fetch the public URL itself; mode=BUYER_SUBMITTED checks a response you pass in. Returns PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN per check and a receipt. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `body` (string)
- `body_sha256` (string)
- `content_type` (string)
- `continuity_handle` (object)
- `data_classification` (string)
- `episode_id` (string)
- `http_status` (integer)
- `independent_operator_id` (string)
- `mode` (string, required)
- `synthetic` (boolean)
- `terms_id` (string, required)

### `gaip_receipt_export` (~133 tokens)

Export a GAIP receipt

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. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `format` (string, required)
- `receipt_id` (string, required)

### `verify_gaip_receipt` (~118 tokens)

Verify any GAIP receipt ID: retained history, hash chain and Merkle inclusion proof. Integrity only; it does not make the underlying claim true. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `continuity_handle` (object)
- `data_classification` (string)
- `episode_id` (string)
- `independent_operator_id` (string)
- `receipt_id` (string, required)
- `synthetic` (boolean)

### `witness_dispute_bundle` (~71 tokens)

Export a neutral, no-fault evidence bundle for a witnessed delivery receipt, e.g. to share with the other party. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `receipt_id` (string, required)

### `gaip_watch_register` (~298 tokens)

Watch an agent, card or delivery

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. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `continuity_handle` (object, required): The continuity_handle from an earlier GAIP result; proves you own these watches.
- `data_classification` (string)
- `interval_hours` (integer)
- `kind` (string, required)
- `target_url` (string): Public https URL (AGENT_READINESS, SUPPLIER_CARD). No query string.
- `terms_id` (string): DELIVERY_TERMS: terms_id from witness_register_terms.
- `webhook_url` (string): Optional: your own public https endpoint for signed change events.

### `gaip_watch_list` (~92 tokens)

List my watches

See your watches: kind, target, last verdict, last and next check, and webhook endpoint (never the secret). Pass your `continuity_handle`. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `continuity_handle` (object, required): The continuity_handle from an earlier GAIP result; proves you own these watches.

### `gaip_watch_remove` (~98 tokens)

Remove a watch

Stop a watch: pass your `continuity_handle` and the `watch_id`. Its stored events are deleted; retained receipts stay verifiable. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `continuity_handle` (object, required): The continuity_handle from an earlier GAIP result; proves you own these watches.
- `watch_id` (string, required)

### `gaip_watch_events` (~113 tokens)

Read watch change events

Read recent change events for your watches (all, or one `watch_id`): verdict before and after, a compact change summary, the event receipt and whether the webhook delivery succeeded. Free, read-only, no account. Inputs must be public and non-personal; calling declares that (data_classification defaults to PUBLIC).

Input parameters:

- `continuity_handle` (object, required): The continuity_handle from an earlier GAIP result; proves you own these watches.
- `limit` (integer)
- `watch_id` (string)

### `gaip_citation_witness` (~194 tokens)

Witness citations

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).

Input parameters:

- `citations` (array, required)
- `data_classification` (string)
