## 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 2026-08-03.

- **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**: 17/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (poor).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 983 tokens (~491/item across 2 items; 2 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**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (50% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); 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.

### 2026-08-02 (score 59, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

BRING YOUR OWN ES STRATEGY. TEST WHETHER AUCTIONTRACE HELPS MANAGE ITS TRADES BETTER.

WHAT IT IS

For $5.00 USDC on Base mainnet, AuctionTrace delivers 751,598 validated, timestamped ES Book Pressure observations, a seven-category application map, matched historical evidence, rejected-use guidance, and an accompanying public toolkit for package verification, strict as-of alignment, and matched result comparison. Join the observations strict as-of after entries your strategy already makes; keep entries and baseline behavior fixed.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS

Across seven category-specific historical applications, relative profit-factor improvement versus matched price-only management ranged from 2.40% to 26.26%. All seven published AuctionTrace treatment profit factors remained below 1.0, ranging from 0.5130 to 0.9246. The evidence therefore supports better post-entry management versus each matched baseline; it does not establish a profitable standalone system, guarantee profitability, or predict future performance. Six high-sample studies covered 63,350 identical entries and improved all 18 of 18 study windows and all 36 of 36 chronological halves.

WHERE IT WAS TESTED

1\. Mean reversion — Use adverse pressure when it contradicts the mean-reversion thesis. PF 0.7882 -> 0.8835 (+12.09%).
2\. Range rotation — De-risk when pressure contradicts the return-to-center thesis. PF 0.6645 -> 0.8390 (+26.26%).
3\. Trend and momentum — Detect early post-entry failure while preserving the original entry. PF 0.8034 -> 0.9246 (+15.09%).
4\. Pullback and retracement — Distinguish pressure consistent with resumption from a failed reclaim. PF 0.7038 -> 0.8054 (+14.44%).
5\. Breakout and continuation — Cut risk when pressure contradicts the breakout while preserving runner logic. PF 0.7195 -> 0.7946 (+10.44%).
6\. Scalping and microstructure — Use immediate adverse pressure to de-risk short-horizon trades. PF 0.5010 -> 0.5130 (+2.40%).
7\. Reversal and exhaustion — Select which stopped t…
