## Quality 91/100 (strong)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-06-18; 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.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 100 (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`: 3 of 3 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 670 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`: 4 tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

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

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 3, about 670 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 14caa54bd68ab0478c9d100978805da9

- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/ai.pulsegate/provenance.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/ai.pulsegate/provenance)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (3)

- `list_identifier_platforms`: List every platform PulseGate records identifiers on, with how many identifiers it holds for each. Use it to learn the vocabulary the platform argument of lookup_project accepts.
- `lookup_project`: Return the external identifiers PulseGate holds for one project, and for each one how it arrived and whether anyone has checked that it belongs. Makes no claim about whether the software is alive, maintained, or working. Look up by slug, or by an identifier you already have.
- `search_catalog`: Find software by name, task or recorded filters. Returns at most ten candidates from the same service as native HTML/HTTP search, with recordUrl and met/unmet/unknown requirement assessments. Unknown is not false. No complete profile, publisher fetch, bulk export or functionality guarantee.
