Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 70 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-06-18, serverInfo.name policypal.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 3 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

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

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 70 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 70 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

    4 of 4 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    3 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.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-10-09T07:38:09.052996Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 3

check_policy

Read one privacy policy or terms-of-service page and return a grounded verdict, eight fixed yes/no/partly/not-stated answers, and up to five findings, each with a verbatim quote from the document. Use this instead of fetching and reading the page yourself. A policy page is 20,000-60,000 tokens of context, and many are rendered by JavaScript so a plain fetch returns an empty shell without saying so. This returns about 1,000 tokens: a 20-60x saving with a quote behind every claim. Guarantees: every claim carries a verbatim sentence from that document, and a question the document does not address is answered not_stated -- never as a promise the document did not make. The eight questions are identical across services, so two reports can be set side by side. A report may be served from an earlier reading of the same document, which is what makes it cheap and instant. readAt says when that reading was taken; call policy_changes_since if it matters whether anything has moved since. Do not use this for a document that is not a legal agreement; it is refused, and a refusal costs nothing. Do not use it to summarise a page in general, to read a document the user pasted rather than published at a URL, or for legal advice: Automated reading of one document. Not legal advice.

Discovered
compare_policies

Answer the same eight fixed questions across two to five services at once, so their policies can actually be compared. Use this instead of reading each document yourself. Doing it yourself needs N full reads and a rubric you have to keep consistent between them; the questions here are fixed, so a difference in the answers is a difference in the policies rather than a difference in how you read them. Each answer also carries how common that answer is across every comparable document Policy Pal has read. Guarantees: identical questions, a verbatim quote behind every stated answer, not_stated where a document is silent, and not_asked where that kind of document was never asked that question -- a silence is never invented to fill a table. A service whose report is not comparable, or that there was no time to read, is reported as such rather than filled in. Do not use this for one service -- call check_policy. Do not expect a score or a ranking: Policy Pal publishes qualitative verdicts and refuses to reduce a policy to a number. Automated reading of one document. Not legal advice.

Discovered
policy_changes_since

Say what changed in a service's policy since a date, expressed as changes to the eight fixed answers. You cannot do this yourself at any context size: it needs the earlier version of the document, and the earlier version is gone from the web. Policy Pal keeps the eight answers for every version it has read, so the difference is a fact rather than a reconstruction. It reports answer changes -- for example forced arbitration moving from no to yes -- and not text edits. A changed comma is noise; a changed answer is the thing worth telling someone about. Returns nothing to report when the answers are unchanged, and says so explicitly when it has no reading from before that date rather than guessing. A question the earlier reading did not answer is reported as not compared, never as not_stated. Automated reading of one document. Not legal advice.
