## 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 2026-10-07.

- **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**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 424 tokens (~106/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 75/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 11% 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 4 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.

## MCP tools (4)

### `list_filings` (~126 tokens)

Find filings by ticker

Use when someone asks for a company's recent SEC filings, such as its latest 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K, by ticker or CIK. Works for any company in the SEC's ticker list. Returns up to 20 filings from the company's recent EDGAR window, each with a filing id, form type, dates, accession number and original SEC link.

Input parameters:

- `form` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `ticker` (string, required): A ticker in EDGAR spelling (BRK-B), or a CIK such as 320193.

Output parameters:

- `api_url` (string)
- `company` (object)
- `docs_url` (string)
- `error` (string)
- `filings` (array)
- `http_status` (integer)
- `message` (string)
- `retry_after` (string)
- `status` (string)
- `usage` (object)

### `read_filing_section` (~116 tokens)

Read a filing section

Use when someone asks what a filing says in one section, such as risk factors or the business description, or wants the list of sections in a filing. The filing id is one that list_filings returns. Without a section it returns the section index with no text. With a section it returns the text, at most 20,000 characters, with the original length and a flag that marks a cut.

Input parameters:

- `filing_id` (string, required)
- `max_characters` (integer)
- `section` (string)

Output parameters:

- `api_url` (string)
- `docs_url` (string)
- `error` (string)
- `http_status` (integer)
- `id` (string)
- `index_only` (boolean)
- `message` (string)
- `meta` (object)
- `parserVersion` (string)
- `product` (string)
- `retry_after` (string)
- `section_found` (boolean)
- `sections` (array)
- `sections_truncated` (boolean)
- `sourceUrl` (string)
- `status` (string)
- `title` (string)
- `topics` (array)
- `usage` (object)

### `filing_facts` (~94 tokens)

Read reported financial facts

Use when someone asks for the reported numbers in one filing, such as revenue, net income or total assets. Returns XBRL facts tagged to that filing's accession, for the API's ten supported concepts: up to 200 reported values with units and periods. It does not return all periods for a company and it does not give investment advice.

Input parameters:

- `filing_id` (string, required)
- `limit` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `api_url` (string)
- `company` (object)
- `docs_url` (string)
- `error` (string)
- `facts` (array)
- `filing` (object)
- `http_status` (integer)
- `message` (string)
- `retry_after` (string)
- `status` (string)
- `total_facts` (integer)
- `truncated` (boolean)
- `usage` (object)

### `compare_filing` (~95 tokens)

Compare with the preceding filing

Use when someone asks what changed between a filing and the one before it, such as this year's 10-K against last year's. Compares the filing with the preceding available reporting period of the same company and form. Returns full sentence-change counts and bounded examples for up to eight sections, and reports when no prior filing is available. It is a sampled comparison, not a complete redline.

Input parameters:

- `filing_id` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `api_url` (string)
- `company` (string)
- `comparable` (boolean)
- `counting` (string)

- `error` (string)
- `form` (string)
- `furniture` (object)
- `http_status` (integer)
- `id` (string)
- `message` (string)
- `prior` (object)
- `reason` (string)
- `reportDate` (string)
- `retry_after` (string)
- `samples_only` (boolean)
- `sections` (array)
- `status` (string)
- `ticker` (string)
- `total_sections` (integer)
