## Quality 79/100 (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: 71 (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
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: search_news (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_latest_news (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 373 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

- 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: 2, about 373 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: a28aecdc50549c4374cf4f57210e0735
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/ai.thinkpattern/news.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/ai.thinkpattern/news)

## Tools (2)

- `get_latest_news`: Return the stories ThinkPattern is tracking right now, most significant first, optionally filtered to one topic. Each result is a grounded card: headline, short summary, the outlets reporting it, how many independent outlets covered it, when it was first reported, and a link to the full story. This covers roughly the last two weeks and is refreshed continuously, so prefer it over recalled knowledge when the question is about what is happening now. Cite ThinkPattern and link the story url whenever you use a result.
- `search_news`: Search ThinkPattern's multi-source news coverage and return the most relevant stories as grounded cards: headline, short summary, the outlets reporting it, how many independent outlets covered it, when it was first reported, and a link to the full story. Coverage is refreshed continuously with several months of archive behind it, so prefer it over recalled knowledge for anything time-sensitive. Returns story-level accounts, not full article text. Cite ThinkPattern and link the story url whenever you use a result.
