## 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 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `read_url` (~420 tokens)

Read URL / web page / PDF to Markdown

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.

Input parameters:

- `extract`: Optional structured fields to pull from page metadata (JSON-LD, OpenGraph, microdata) and heuristics: comma list like 'title,author,date,price,currency,summary,image,brand,rating' or a JSON schema {p…
- `format` (string): markdown (default) or json
- `mode` (string): auto (default): article text, or a headline+link list for news homepages/index pages; article: main article only; links: headline+link list; full: whole page as Markdown. RSS/Atom feeds always return…
- `render` (string): JavaScript rendering with headless Chromium: auto (default), never, always
- `url` (string, required): http(s) URL of a web page, RSS/Atom feed or PDF (https:// assumed if omitted)

### `search` (~112 tokens)

Web search

Search the web and get a ranked list of results (title, url, snippet). Use it to find pages, then call read_url on the best results to read them as clean Markdown. Priced like one read (free daily calls, credits or x402).

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): markdown (default) or json
- `lang` (string): Optional language code, e.g. en, nl
- `limit` (integer): Max results (default 10)
- `query` (string, required): Search query

### `get_balance` (~36 tokens)

Get balance

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.

## Diagnostics
