Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 706 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-03-26, serverInfo.name knox-anchor.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 9 tools.

  • Fail
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-03-26. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 706 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 706 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    23 of 23 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    9 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Fail
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-05-01T01:35:56.303777Z, which is older than 180 days.

    Open-source licence

    No GitHub repository to ask about a licence.

Capabilities

Tools 9

anchor_event

Anchor a generic agent action to the Knox chain. Accepts any event_type from the canonical taxonomy plus a payload object. Returns the anchor sequence, payload hash, predecessor hash, timestamp, and verify URL. Requires a Knox Bearer API key on the Authorization header — unauthenticated calls are rejected. Provision a key by contacting Bonis Systems.

Discovered
anchor_file_hash

Anchor a SHA-256 file digest to Knox and return an affidavit architected for FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication. The file itself is not transmitted — the caller computes the hash and only the digest + filename + size + MIME type are anchored. Admissibility in any matter remains a determination of the presiding court. Requires a Knox Bearer API key on the Authorization header — unauthenticated calls are rejected.

Discovered
anchor_mcp_tool_call

Convenience anchor for the AAM Model Context Protocol theater. Records an `agent_mcp_tool_call` event with structured tool-call metadata (server URL, tool name, argument digest, asserted agent identity, response digest). The record is sealed with a commitment to the authenticated principal that made the assertion, so a reader can tell WHO claimed it. Knox does not authenticate the named agent: this makes an assertion about an agent's actions independently checkable, not the agent itself independently identified.

Discovered
get_chain_health

Return Knox service status (operational or degraded), total anchors written, the latest anchor timestamp, and the Bitcoin anchoring cadence (OpenTimestamps, 1-6 hour confirmation window). Mirrors the public /api/knox/health endpoint under the MCP envelope.

Discovered
get_descriptor

Return the Knox MCP server self-description: operator, USPTO patent reference, jurisdiction, available tools, and links to the public AAM (Agent Audit and Management) documentation surface.

Discovered
list_event_types

Return the canonical Knox event-type taxonomy. Each event type is a citation token for federal-grade audit; the registry expands monotonically and is itself anchored on every expansion.

Discovered
return_agent_trip

THE TICK. Your own door posts a returned trip: the plan, the door's record (targets and keyed commitments, never content), its head, the trip nonce and the agent's report. The trip's departure must already be sealed under the same key as agent_trip_departed. Knox checks the plan and nonce against that departure, recomputes the record's hash chain, compares plan, record and report, and seals the verdict as agent_trip_returned: one stamp on your plan. A second return of the same trip is refused as REPLAY and not sealed. Knox never holds your trip key; check the MACs yourself with verify-agent-trip.mjs. Requires a Knox Bearer API key on the Authorization header.

Discovered
verify_agent_trip

THE TICK. Given the returned seal (64 hex) or the trip id of a customer agent trip, return what Knox sealed when the trip came back: the verdict (LINES_UP or MISMATCH), the finding classes, the door head, when it was sealed, and the Bitcoin status of its hourly batch. Public, no key. The witness is door_observed: the door ran in the agent's own process. The comparison is the agent's report against what the door recorded, not against the outside system's answer.

Discovered
verify_anchor

Given a SHA-256 anchor hash (64 hex chars), return the anchor record, chain link validity (predecessor present and matched), event type, sequence number, and verify URL. Public — no authentication required.
