Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 758 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name sandbox-timer.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 5 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 758 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 758 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.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    8 of 13 parameters have a description (62%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    5 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match 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.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 5

idle_report

Which sandboxes were flagged idle and what idle time cost, per provider, from what track_sessions has seen. Without an API key pass fleet. With a key: every fleet on it. Free shows 7 days, Pro 30.

Discovered
set_idle_rules

Pro: save the rules track_sessions applies to a fleet: idle_minutes threshold, max_lifetime_minutes, default rates_per_hour by provider, and alert_webhook. Free returns a preview of the rules and saves nothing (pass the same values on each track_sessions call instead).

Discovered
track_sessions

Send your agent's running sandbox sessions (up to 200; call it on a heartbeat, e.g. every 5 minutes) and get back which are idle past your threshold or over their max lifetime, the dollars idle time has cost at the hourly rates you pass, and what to do. Pro acts: returns a ready-to-run kill call per idle sandbox for its provider (E2B kill, Vercel Sandbox stop, Daytona stop, Modal terminate) and POSTs one alert per sandbox to your webhook. Free watch-only returns would_kill and sends nothing. We never hold provider keys and never kill anything ourselves: your agent runs the call with its own key.

Discovered
usage_and_upgrade

Show today's usage for your key or IP and the $9/month upgrade link. Free tier: 500 calls/day. Not metered.

Discovered
weekly_report

Plain-English summary of the last 7 days: sandboxes watched, how many sat idle, dollars idle time cost at your rates, kill calls returned (Pro) or that would have been (free). Read-only; sends nothing. Needs a free API key.
