The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_bond_portfolio ~203
Get FCC surety bond portfolio for satellite operators. Two distinct figures per operator: the POSTED bond, which is an amount an FCC document states and is absent for most authorizations, and the COMPUTED 47 CFR 25.165 liability, which is Orbit Sentinel's own arithmetic and is not a bond anyone has posted. Never report a computed figure as an operator's actual bond, and read 'not documented' as unknown rather than zero. Also returns summary statistics and FAA financial responsibility data. Use for questions about satellite operator financial obligations, bond compliance, or TPL coverage.

milestone_adherence ~348
FCC deployment milestone adherence (47 CFR 25.164): which authorized satellite systems met their deployment milestones. Grading is deliberately asymmetric — an adverse grade must be earned, a favourable grade must be labelled. 'missed' and 'met_late' appear only where a human verified a cited FCC document; otherwise the row reads 'verification_required', which asserts nothing about the operator and must not be reported as a miss. Favourable grades are never withheld, so read verification_status: 'arithmetic_corroborated' means the deployment counts independently agree — a computation, not a person, did the corroborating — and 'uncorroborated' means the arithmetic is SILENT, not that it disagrees; no favourable grade is currently contradicted by the data. computed_grade always carries the raw arithmetic even where classification withholds it. Filter by call_sign, classification, is_ngso; set summary=true for aggregate counts, which include withheld_adverse and uncorroborated_favourable.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| call_sign | string | – | Filter by FCC call sign (exact match) |

What is the Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings MCP server?
Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Viventine-Space/orbit-sentinel-mcp. Search 950K+ space regulatory filings from FCC, ITU, UNOOSA, FAA-AST: entities, spectrum, dossiers. This page covers its container image (ghcr.io/viventine-space/orbit-sentinel-mcp:0.6.6).
Is the Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings MCP server safe to use?
Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings scores 48 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings MCP server expose?
Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings exposes 21 tools: get_bond_portfolio, get_entity_dossier, get_entity_profile, get_filing_detail, get_filing_distribution, and 16 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,608 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings MCP server still maintained?
Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings MCP server under?
Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
