## 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**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 73/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 734 tokens (~183/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 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.
- **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**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `find_providers` (~284 tokens)

Find vets and pet-care providers

Find UK vet practices, vet hospitals, specialists and accredited practitioners (physiotherapists, hydrotherapists, behaviourists and others) near a place, nearest first. An emergency search starts with a fixed safety line and lists RCVS-accredited emergency service clinics and the nearest vets. Returns each listing's name, id, type, town, postcode, distance, phone, accreditations and a link to its page. Listings come from public professional registers. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked. No clinical advice.

Input parameters:

- `care` (string): Only providers that list services in this area of care. Many practices list none, so this can miss practices that offer it.
- `emergency` (boolean): True for a search for urgent care. The result then starts with a fixed safety line and lists emergency service clinics and the nearest vets.
- `limit` (integer): How many to return. Default 10, at most 20.
- `name` (string): Part of the provider's name, e.g. "Vets Now".
- `place` (string, required): A UK postcode, postcode district or town, e.g. "HP11 2LP", "BS1" or "Bristol".
- `radius_km` (integer): How far to look. Default 25.
- `type` (string): Only this kind of provider.

### `provider_details` (~94 tokens)

A provider's listing

One PetCare Atlas listing in full: address, phone, website, accreditations, services, who owns the practice when Companies House records show it, and the prices the practice publishes, each with its source and the date it was read. No clinical advice.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The id of a PetCare Atlas listing, as returned in search results, e.g. "vets-now-high-wycombe".

### `procedure_prices` (~137 tokens)

What UK vets charge for a procedure

What UK vet practices publish for a common procedure, such as a consultation, vaccination, neutering, dental work, X-ray, blood test or euthanasia. Gives the middle half of published prices, how many practices publish one, and when they were read, or a researched guide range where too few publish. A guide to help an owner plan. It is not a quote.

Input parameters:

- `place` (string): Optional UK town or area, to link its local price comparison page if there is one.
- `procedure` (string, required): The procedure in plain words, e.g. "dog spay", "consultation", "booster vaccination".

### `medicine_prices` (~116 tokens)

What online retailers charge for a medicine

What UK online retailers accredited by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate charge for a named veterinary medicine, pack by pack, with a link to each retailer and the date the price was read. Search by the medicine's name, e.g. "Bravecto" or "Apoquel 16 mg". Within a pack, retailers are listed by what the owner pays. Says when a medicine needs a vet's prescription. Does not suggest medicines or doses.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): The medicine's name as it appears on the pack or prescription.
