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 Security69
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 600 tokens (~200/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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 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
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
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.
- 17 Oct 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
legal_get_section Read a section of South African law ~127
Full text of one document section from the GetLawED library — use it to read and quote the exact provision found by legal_library_search (give the doc_id and the section reference it returned). For judgments, returns the judgment text (or the part matching "section", e.g. a paragraph number or phrase), capped at 12 000 characters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| doc_id | number | yes | doc_id from legal_library_search |
| section | string | – | Section reference as returned (e.g. "Section 34: Structures") or a section number like "34"; optional for judgments |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
legal_library_search Search South African law ~195
Search GetLawED's library of official South African legal texts (Constitutional Court, SCA, High Court, Labour, Land, Tax and tribunal judgments; Acts; regulations, rules and codes issued under them; municipal by-laws and land use schemes; Bills; Government Gazettes). Returns matching documents with the best-matching section reference where the text is split into sections, a short passage and the official source link. Absence from the library does not mean an authority does not exist.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| doc_type | string | – | Limit to one kind of document: regulation = regulations, rules and codes; bylaw = municipal by-laws and land use schemes (default: judgment, act and regulation) |
| limit | number | – | Maximum results, 1-10 (default 5) |
| query | string | yes | What to look for, in plain language (e.g. "business rescue post-commencement tax debt") |

No examples provided.
legal_verify_citations Check South African citations ~100
Check the South African case citations and Acts in a piece of text against GetLawED's library of official copies and verified records. Each item comes back as found, mismatch (the citation belongs to a different case), name_only, not_found, repealed or unchecked. "not_found"/"unchecked" means "check the law reports", not "fake".
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| text | string | yes | The text containing citations (max 20 000 characters) |
