Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Endpoint Security46
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 617 tokens (~77/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management17
  • Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage75
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 25% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the Measured data: Claude Code and the coding-agent market MCP server?

Measured data: Claude Code and the coding-agent market is a hosted endpoint at https://agentexchange.work/data/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Changelog

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

    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.

MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~570 tokens

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 →

Score a product idea against LIVE market data: the idea in plain words is turned into a market lookup, comparables are pulled from the directory where it would ship (npm, VS Code, WordPress.org, GitHub, Hacker News, Apify, Hugging Face, MCP registry), newcomers (<=24 months) set the reach, sourced priors give conversion and retention. Returns KILL / PASS / UNKNOWN with the deciding number, month-12 revenue ceiling, months to first dollar, and the comparables with links. Takes ~20 s.
