## 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 2026-08-19.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 80/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 423 tokens (~84/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-18 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-08-16 (score 67, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `get_today_races` (~46 tokens)

Today's GB & IRE horse races with Racing Alpha's published model picks (advised prices are database-frozen at publication). Returns race ids usable with get_race_signals.

### `get_race_signals` (~85 tokens)

Racing Alpha's derived signals for one race: per-runner AI score (0-100), de-overrounded fair price, value vs fair, plus race-level draw-bias verdict and the frozen model pick if the race made the public card.

Input parameters:

- `race_id` (string, required): Race id from get_today_races, e.g. rac_32294027584

### `get_tips_ledger` (~65 tokens)

Racing Alpha's public tips ledger — every pick database-frozen at publication with result, level-stakes P/L, and closing-line-value summary. Includes losses; that is the point.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Picks to return (default 50, newest first)

### `get_draw_bias` (~77 tokens)

3-year draw-bias aggregates for GB & IRE flat courses: impact value (IV), actual/expected (A-E) and percentage-of-rivals-beaten (PRB) by stall third, per course, surface and distance band.

Input parameters:

- `course` (string): Optional course name filter, e.g. 'lingfield'

### `get_combo_stats` (~57 tokens)

Trainer×jockey combination strike rates over settled GB & IRE races in Racing Alpha's archive.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max combos (default 100)
- `min_runs` (integer): Minimum runs together (default 5)
