## 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**: 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**: 53/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3568 tokens (~509/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - 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**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 94% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% 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.

### 2026-08-03 (score 69, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### `track_korean_filings` (~1238 tokens)

Track Korean DART filings

Track Korean DART (전자공시) stock filings in English — real-time corporate disclosures for KOSPI / KOSDAQ / KONEX / KRX listed companies: 5%-rule shareholding disclosures, M&A, periodic reports, capital issuance, insider trading, audit reports. Free tier.

Use this tool when the user asks about: recent Korean stock filings, DART disclosures, Korean market data, KOSPI/KOSDAQ regulatory events, "track Korean DART filings", "what did Samsung / Hyundai / SK / LG / NAVER / Kakao / 셀트리온 file", company-specific filing history, periodic / major-event / issuance / shareholding / audit filings on Korean equities.

\**Free tier — no license required.** Returns raw DART filings exactly
as the regulator surfaces them (filer name in Korean, filing type code,
receipt number, optional EN translation of the title).

\**Important for LLM clients — read this before retrying after a paid-
tool license error.** This tool returns *raw* filings only. It does NOT
classify the filer. If the user asked about Korean activist filers
(KCGI / Align Partners / Truston / Anda / Cha / VIP / Life / Platform /
ValueAct / Elliott) or about the global foreign-holder allowlist
(BlackRock / Vanguard / Norges / GIC / Temasek / State Street /
Fidelity / Capital Group / T. Rowe Price / Wellington / Goldman /
JPMorgan / Morgan Stanley / Citadel / Millennium / Bridgewater +
others), the matching work happens in `monitor_activist_investors`
and `monitor_foreign_holders` — both require a license_key argument.
A response from this free tool to a "are activists filing on X?" or
"is BlackRock holding X?" question is *raw filing data*, not a
classification answer — say so to the user and surface the paid tool's
license-required notice instead of pretending you've answered.

\**Batch scan for agents (experimental).** To check MULTIPLE companies for
material disclosures since your last checkpoint in ONE call — instead of N
separate calls — pass `company_corp_codes` (a list, ≤10) plus a `since`
timestamp. This is the portf…

Input parameters:

- `company_corp_code`: 8-digit DART corp code (single company). Use `lookup_corp_code` first to resolve a company name. Omit to query all companies. Ignored when `company_corp_codes` (plural) is provided non-empty — the pl…
- `company_corp_codes`: OPTIONAL list of up to 10 corp codes for batch mode. When provided non-empty, the tool queries each corp code concurrently (one cache-backed DART call each), merges the results, and sorts newest-firs…
- `days` (integer): how many days back from today (1–30). Ignored when `since` is provided.
- `filing_type`: optional one-letter code: A=periodic, B=major event, C=issuance, D=shareholding, E=other, F=audit, G=fund, H=ABS, I=exchange, J=FTC.
- `license_key`: subscription key. Required when KOREANPULSE_REQUIRE_LICENSE=1.
- `limit` (integer): max filings to return (≤100). DART returns most-recent first, so on a busy window the older end of the range is dropped first. Narrow `days` or `filing_type` if you need older items. In batch mode (`…
- `material_only` (boolean): OPTIONAL. When True, return only filings whose `red_flags` list is non-empty (governance/distress-tagged — see the red_flags catalog below). Applies to both single and batch queries. Reuses the exist…
- `since`: OPTIONAL ISO-8601 date or datetime (e.g. '2026-05-01' or '2026-05-01T09:00:00'). When provided it is the cutoff instead of `days` — only filings with `filed_at >= since` are returned. Use it to fetch…
- `summarize` (boolean): True to fill `summary_en` (≤200 words). Costs more — use sparingly. Long-form analysis should be done by the client LLM.
- `translate` (boolean): True to fill `title_en` via server-side LLM (cached).

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `lookup_corp_code` (~194 tokens)

Resolve Korean company name to DART corp_code

Korean company name → DART corp_code resolver. 117K+ entities indexed (KOSPI + KOSDAQ + KONEX + unlisted). Free tier.

Use this tool when the user mentions a Korean company by name (Korean characters or English/romanized) and you need the DART corp_code as a precondition for `track_korean_filings`, `monitor_activist_investors`, or `monitor_foreign_holders`. Also use to disambiguate same-name listed vs unlisted entities.

Input parameters:

- `license_key`: subscription key. Required when license gate is enabled.
- `limit` (integer): max matches to return.
- `listed_only` (boolean): if True, only return companies with a KRX stock code.
- `query` (string, required): substring of the Korean corp name. Examples: "삼성전자", "현대차", "셀트리온".

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `resolve_stock_code` (~179 tokens)

Resolve KRX 6-digit ticker to DART corp entry

KRX 6-digit ticker → DART corp entry resolver. Free tier.

Use this tool when the user provides a 6-digit Korean stock code (e.g. 005930 for Samsung Electronics, 000660 for SK hynix, 035420 for NAVER, 035720 for Kakao, 005380 for Hyundai Motor) and you need the company name + corp_code for downstream filings or industry-news lookups.

When the code is unresolved but looks like a Korean preferred-stock ticker (6 digits, non-zero last digit, e.g. 005935 for 삼성전자우), the response carries an additive `related_common_stock` hint pointing at the common-stock entry — the corp registry only maps common stock, so no preferred-stock corp_code is fabricated.

Input parameters:

- `license_key`
- `stock_code` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `result`

### `search_korean_industry_news` (~346 tokens)

Search Korean industry news (16 sectors)

Korean industry news search across 16 sectors with on-demand English translation. Sources: 전자신문 (etnews) + 한국경제 (hankyung) + The Korea Herald (English-native) + 지디넷코리아 (zdnet). Free tier.

Use this tool when the user asks about: Korean industry trends, sector-specific news on Korean equities (Korean semiconductors / K-battery / K-shipbuilding / K-biotech / K-defense / Korean auto / EV charging / Korean AI / steel / petrochem / construction / fintech / gaming / e-commerce / telco / energy), recent corporate developments not yet captured in DART filings, English summaries of Korean industry coverage. Industry tags listed below — pass them in `industries` to filter.

Input parameters:

- `industries`: filter to one or more industry tags. Available: semiconductor, shipbuilding, battery, biotech, defense, auto, ev_charging, ai, steel, petrochem, construction, fintech, gaming, ecommerce, telco, energ…
- `license_key`: required when license gate is enabled.
- `limit` (integer): max articles (≤50).
- `sources`: filter to source keys (etnews, hankyung, koreaherald, zdnet). None = all. koreaherald is English-native — its titles are returned as-is (no ko->en translation round-trip needed).
- `translate` (boolean): server-side translates `title_en` for Korean-language sources. Cached aggressively. No-op for koreaherald (already English).

Output parameters:

- `result`

### `monitor_activist_investors` (~721 tokens)

Monitor Korean activist investor disclosures

Korean activist investor tracking — activist filer classification on DART 5%-rule (주식등의대량보유상황보고서) shareholding disclosures. Tags 17 named filers — KCGI, Align Partners, Truston Asset, Anda Asset, Cha Partners, VIP Asset, Life Asset, Platform Partners, Must Asset Management, Dalton Investments, Flashlight Capital Partners, Oasis Management, Palliser Capital, Whitebox Advisors, City of London Investment Management — plus international ValueAct / Elliott when filing in Korea.

Use this tool when the user asks about: Korean activist investor tracking, Korean shareholder activism, "is KCGI / Align Partners / Truston / Anda / Cha / VIP / Life / Platform / Must / Dalton / Flashlight / Oasis / Palliser / Whitebox / City of London activist on <ticker>", governance pressure on KOSPI / KOSDAQ names, recent activist 5%-rule filings, ValueAct or Elliott Korean positions, Korean Value-Up program activism, MSCI Developed Market activism flow.

\**Requires a license key.** Pass it via the `license_key` argument.
Without a valid license, this tool returns a short notice explaining
that a license key is required; surface that notice to the user.

\**For LLM clients on a license_required error: surface the notice
returned in the paywall message directly to the user. Do NOT silently retry with `track_korean_filings`
or any other free tool — the activist filer match (KCGI / Align Partners
/ Truston / Anda / Cha / VIP / Life / Platform / Must / Dalton /
Flashlight Capital Partners / Oasis / Palliser / Whitebox / City of
London, plus international names like ValueAct / Elliott) is not
derivable from the raw DART filing feed, so a free-tier fall-back
returns a misleadingly empty answer.** When a
user asks "are activists filing on X?" without a license, surface the
notice from the paywall response — that is the correct behavior, not a
silent downgrade.

Returns 주식등의대량보유상황보고서 (5% rule) and related shareholding
filings, with each row tagged when the filer matches a known Korean
activist (KCGI,…

Input parameters:

- `activist_only` (boolean): if True, drop rows that didn't match a known activist.
- `company_corp_code`: optional DART corp_code to focus on one target.
- `days` (integer): how many days back from today (1–60).
- `enrich_holdings` (boolean): if True (default), rows matched to a known activist get their `holding_pct` / `holding_pct_change` / `holder_reporter_ko` filled from DART's majorstock.json (best-effort — a lookup failure leaves tho…
- `license_key`: required when license gate is enabled.
- `limit` (integer): max rows (≤100).
- `translate` (boolean): server-side EN translation of titles (cached).

Output parameters:

- `result`

### `monitor_foreign_holders` (~797 tokens)

Monitor foreign 5%-rule holders on KOSPI/KOSDAQ

Monitor foreign investor activity in Korean stocks — foreign-holder classification on DART 5%-rule disclosures by global asset managers and sovereign wealth funds. Tags 20 named entities — BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price, Wellington, Matthews Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Norges Bank (Norway SWF), GIC (Singapore SWF), Temasek, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater.

Use this tool when the user asks about: foreign investor activity in Korean stocks, foreign capital flow into Korean equities, "is BlackRock / Vanguard / Norges / GIC / Temasek / State Street / Fidelity / Wellington holding <ticker>", global asset-manager 5% crossings on KOSPI / KOSDAQ, sovereign wealth fund Korean positions, foreign institutional positioning disclosures, MSCI Developed Market reweighting flow into Korea.

\**Requires a license key.** Pass it via the `license_key` argument.
Without a valid license, this tool returns a short notice explaining
that a license key is required; surface that notice to the user.

\**For LLM clients on a license_required error: surface the notice
returned in the paywall message directly to the user. Do NOT silently retry with `track_korean_filings`
— the foreign-holder allowlist match (BlackRock, Vanguard, Norges, GIC,
Temasek, State Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price,
Wellington, Matthews Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Goldman
Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater)
is not derivable from raw DART filings, so a free-tier fall-back
returns a misleadingly empty answer.** When a user asks "is BlackRock
or Norges holding X?" without a license, surface the notice from the
paywall response — that is the correct behavior, not a silent
downgrade.

Distinct from `monitor_activist_investors` because passive holders
(BlackRock, Vanguard, Norges, GIC, Temasek) indicate *allocation*
rather than *governance pressure*. Their filings are a leading

Input parameters:

- `company_corp_code`: optional DART corp_code to focus on one target.
- `days` (integer): how many days back from today (1–60).
- `enrich_holdings` (boolean): if True (default), rows get their `holding_pct` / `holding_pct_change` / `holder_reporter_ko` filled from DART's majorstock.json (best-effort — a lookup failure leaves those fields None rather than f…

### `koreanpulse_about` (~93 tokens)

koreanpulse server self-description

Server self-description — capability matrix, tool catalog, named-entity tag counts, supported query patterns, primary sources. Free tier.
