## Quality 82/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 86 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 5 of 5 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: list_retiring_models (destructiveHint, idempotentHint); suggest_replacement (destructiveHint, idempotentHint); check_model (destructiveHint, idempotentHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 760 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: 3 tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: 67 (weight 15)

- pass `deps.known_vulns`: no known advisory in 98 resolved packages
- fail `deps.mcp_sdk_version`: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.30.1 has 1 known advisory (GHSA-6qxp-vccf-f47h); update @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to 1.31.0 or later
- pass `deps.resolvable`: @llmintel/mcp@0.2.0 resolved: 98 packages

- tools: 5, about 760 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 0c3719002cac9a52375bfdb4f09bd708
- tools last changed: 2026-10-20T05:12:34.984Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/ai.llmintel/model-lifecycle.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/ai.llmintel/model-lifecycle)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (5)

- `check_model`: Check whether an LLM model id is safe to use, deprecated, or retired, and what to migrate to. Accepts the exact string used in code (e.g. 'gpt-4o', 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929', 'anthropic/claude-opus-4-1'). Call this before writing or changing any hardcoded model id.
- `list_retiring_models`: List tracked models scheduled to retire within a time window, soonest first. Use this to audit a codebase or plan migration work.
- `recent_lifecycle_changes`: Lifecycle state changes across all tracked providers, newest first. Use this to answer 'what model deprecations happened recently?'.
- `search_models`: List tracked models, optionally filtered by provider and lifecycle state. Use this to discover what is currently available from a provider.
- `suggest_replacement`: Given a deprecated or retiring model, return the provider's recommended replacement(s) and, when none is published, active models from the same provider to consider.
