## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 63/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - CVE data not yet available for this package.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Dependency-health data not yet available.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 19/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema quality not yet verified: we do not have a sandbox capture of the MCP schema this version of the package serves yet.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: we do not have a sandbox capture of the MCP schema this version of the package serves yet.
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we do not have a sandbox capture of the tool definitions this version of the package serves yet.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Protocol version not yet verified: we do not have a sandbox capture of the MCP handshake this version of the package performs yet.

**Unverified: 4 categories.** Categories scored 0 because our sandbox run of this package has not given us the schema these checks need to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until the capture succeeds. We are working through the fleet, so this normally clears without any action from you.

## MCP tools (5)

### `ask_kai` (~232 tokens)

Ask Kai Rivers, an AI M&E research analyst, any question about media & entertainment. Returns a full Pro research report with inline numbered citations ([1], [2], …) and a linked "Sources" list.

\**Speed:** Every query uses Gemini Pro + Google Search grounding. Expect **~2–4 minutes** for a cited report.

When presenting the report, preserve the inline [n] markers and the Sources list.

IMPORTANT: Use this tool for AD-HOC research. Examples:
\- "What's happening in the streaming wars?"
\- "Full report on Frame.io competitive positioning"
\- "Competitor research: Signiant vs Aspera"
\- "Analyze Disney's Q2 earnings"

Do NOT use this for "today's brief" or "today's pre-built deep dive" — use get_daily_brief or get_deep_dive instead.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Research question for Kai. Use "competitor research: X vs Y" for head-to-head comparisons, "SWOT analysis of X" only when SWOT is requested, "X Q2 earnings" for financial analysis.

### `get_daily_brief` (~126 tokens)

Fetch TODAY's pre-built Studio Signal executive intelligence brief — a curated summary of top M&E stories, market movers, and strategic implications, generated every morning.

Use this tool ONLY when the user asks for today's existing brief, such as:
\- "What's today's brief?"
\- "Give me the morning brief"
\- "Daily summary" / "Morning update"
\- "Show me the brief"

Do NOT use this for research requests like "brief me on Netflix" or "give me a brief about Disney" — those are ad-hoc research and should use ask_kai instead.

### `get_deep_dive` (~134 tokens)

Fetch TODAY's pre-built Studio Signal deep dive — a comprehensive analysis expanding on the morning brief's most impactful stories with strategic implications, competitive analysis, and market outlook.

Use this tool ONLY when the user asks for today's existing deep dive, such as:
\- "What's today's deep dive?"
\- "Show me the deep dive"
\- "Pull up the deep dive"

Do NOT use this when the user wants a NEW deep dive on a specific topic like "do a deep dive on Netflix" or "deep dive into Disney's strategy" — those are ad-hoc research requests and should use ask_kai instead.

### `get_stocks` (~97 tokens)

Get live M&E sector stock data — prices, changes, market caps, and analyst ratings for 30+ media & entertainment companies including NFLX, DIS, CMCSA, WBD, PARA, SPOT, ROKU, and more.

Input parameters:

- `symbols` (string): Comma-separated ticker symbols to filter (e.g., "NFLX,DIS,NVDA"). Omit to get all 30+ M&E stocks.

### `get_usage` (~73 tokens)

Check your Studio Signal API usage — calls used this period, free calls remaining from the one-time 50-call allowance, and estimated cost. Billing starts at $0.30/call with graduated volume discounts to $0.25 above 1,000 and $0.20 above 10,000 calls a month.
