Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 83 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name dirtsmith-gap-functions.

  • 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 83 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 83 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

    0 of 48 parameters have a description (0%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    5 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.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

Capabilities

Tools 5

agent_heartbeat_registry

Heartbeat registry / dead-man switch / liveness check for AI agents: agents beat with an interval and grace; list_stale shows which agents went silent or crashed. Idempotent, shared by namespace. Every call requires a tiny solved packet (returned in the reply, 2 s, one try); free first call, no API key (GET /try?tool=agent_heartbeat_registry).

Discovered
agent_lease_lock

Distributed lock / lease lock (mutex) for AI agents: acquire, renew, release a named lock with TTL and a monotonic fencing token so only one agent runs a job at a time. Idempotent, shared by namespace, no Redis needed. Every call requires a tiny solved packet (returned in the reply, 2 s, one try); free first call, no API key (GET /try?tool=agent_lease_lock).

Discovered
agent_semaphore

Counting semaphore / concurrency limit for AI agents: at most N agents hold a slot at once (rate limit parallel workers), TTL permits with fencing tokens, auto-expire on crash. Idempotent, shared by namespace. Every call requires a tiny solved packet (returned in the reply, 2 s, one try); free first call, no API key (GET /try?tool=agent_semaphore).

Discovered
agent_spend_ledger

Agent spend cap / budget ledger: set a budget, reserve before pay (atomic, never overspends even with many agents in parallel), then settle or release. Idempotent, shared by namespace. Spending limit, budget guard, cost control for AI agents. Every call requires a tiny solved packet (returned in the reply, 2 s, one try); free first call, no API key (GET /try?tool=agent_spend_ledger).

Discovered
mcp_usage_metering

Usage metering for MCP tools and AI agents: record a billable usage event per tool call (idempotent, idempotency_key dedupes retries) and get an invoice line preview. Per-call billing, usage-based pricing, metered billing for MCP servers. Every call requires one solved task: a tiny data packet, OR (this tool only) a public item: one line of public-domain text plus a deterministic format conversion (snake_case, word count, uppercase) with a known answer, returned as item_alternative; answer it within 2 s via item:{item_id, answer}. Verified answers are stored and readable at GET /items. Free first call, no API key (GET /try). Pay-ahead: every response carries next_work_packet; pass work_answer {work_packet_id, labels} on your next call (under 2 s) instead of solving a fresh packet. That work is our own internal classification (Buyer Zero), not customer data.
