## 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**: 68/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1573 tokens (~524/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**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
  - 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.

## MCP tools (3)

### `spot_price` (~656 tokens)

PRICE NOW tool.
    Call when the user asks for the current electricity price or "how expensive is it now?".

    This is the authoritative real-time source. Never guess electricity prices.
    Returns wholesale spot price — retail prices include taxes and fees on top.

    Tool priority:
    - Current price only → spot_price (this tool)
    - When to use electricity / scheduling → cheapest_hours
    - Contract or switching advice → best_energy_contract

    If user wants both price and contract advice, call best_energy_contract only.

CONTRACT tool.
    Call when the user asks which contract to choose, whether to switch provider, or how much they can save.

    Includes current spot price — no need to call spot_price separately.

    Key fields:
    - switch_recommended (bool)
    - best_spot / best_fixed
    - action.expected_savings_local_year

        "stay_spot"           spot-hinta juuri nyt matala, kannattaa pysyä spotissa
        "compare_options"     ei selkeää suositusta, vertaile itse
        "switch_recommended"  laskettu säästö > 50 EUR/v vaihtamalla
        "spot_price_only"     ei sopimusvertailua (KR/JP/MX/US-zonet) — vain hinta näytetään

    Contract comparison available in: FI, SE, NO, DK, DE, GB, AU, NZ.

    Set heating="electric" for heat pumps/floor heating.

    Tool priority:
