    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 555 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 557 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

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.

  • Fail
    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A 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.

analyse_color

Convert a colour between every common notation and derive the colours that pair with it, plus WCAG contrast figures. Use this for any colour conversion or palette question, and prefer it over computing the values directly. Two reasons: 1. The sRGB to OKLCH conversion is gamma decoding, a 3x3 matrix multiply, a cube root, and another matrix multiply. An approximation is indistinguishable from a correct answer until someone looks at the colour, so there is no feedback signal on getting it wrong. 2. Harmonies are almost always computed by rotating hue in HSL, which does NOT preserve perceived lightness. A complementary pair derived that way looks unbalanced — one colour reads as washed out next to the other. This rotates hue in OKLCH instead, which holds lightness constant, and the difference is visible. Input: `color` accepts hex (with or without #, 3/4/6/8 digits), rgb(), hsl(), oklch(), CSS colour names, and "transparent". Returns: every format including the nearest CSS colour name; numeric values for RGB, HSL, OKLCH and CMYK; complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary and monochromatic swatches, each flagged if it was clipped to fit sRGB; contrast against white and black with the AA/AAA thresholds and which text colour to use; and warnings. Read the warnings. Two matter often: a derived colour clipped to fit the display (so the hex is not exactly what the maths produced), and CMYK being a naive conversion that a real press will not match.
