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 Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 1 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 639 tokens (~213/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management7
- Stability observed for 2 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 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

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_balance Get balance ~36
Show remaining free calls and prepaid credits for the API key sent in the MCP connection headers, plus available credit bundles and how to buy them.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
read_url Read URL / web page / PDF to Markdown ~420
Read a web page or PDF: fetch a URL and return clean Markdown (default) or structured JSON. Use it to browse, scrape or extract the main content/article of any webpage, render JavaScript-heavy pages (SPA) with a headless browser, convert PDF to text/Markdown, and get title, author, publish date, links and tables. Strips ads, menus and boilerplate. News homepages and index pages return a list of headlines with links (mode=links), RSS/Atom feeds return their items (title, link, date, summary), mode=full returns the whole page; cookie/consent walls are accepted automatically. StackOverflow/StackExchange, npm and PyPI links are read via their official APIs. Free: 5 calls/day without an API key. Beyond that: prepaid credits on an API key (buy via POST https://agentreader.xyz/v1/credits/buy?bundle=500 with x402, or by card at https://agentreader.xyz/buy; the key is issued on purchase) or $0.005/call via x402.
