Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work

Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 871 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-03-26, serverInfo.name aimlds-sanity-check.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 4 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 871 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 871 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

    3 of 5 parameters have a description (60%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    4 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Fail
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner does not match the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-02T12:21:26.35502Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 4

sanity_check_catalogue

List the architecture checks the Sanity Check runs (families, plain-language descriptions), what is NOT assessed, pricing, and how run credits work. Free.

Discovered
sanity_check_credit_status

Check payment state without spending anything: pass 'credit' (a web run-credit id from Stripe checkout) to see its status, or 'api_key' to see its run-credit balance. Free.

Discovered
sanity_check_run

Run the full Technical Architecture Sanity Check on YOUR intake and return the verdict summary + report links (PDF/DOCX/HTML/Markdown/JSON). Costs ONE run credit: pass 'credit' (a web run-credit id) or 'api_key' (a key with balance). The intake is the SanityCheckIntakeV1 object (sections a-g; schema at https://sanity.aimlds.org/api/v1/intake-schema). Never include credentials in an intake — credential-shaped values are refused.

Discovered
sanity_check_sample

Run the published sample intake (a fictional fintech with deliberately weak answers) live through the same checker and return its verdict + top findings. Free preview — this is the sample, not your architecture.
