## Quality 73/100 (new)

### 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: check_step (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); loop_status (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); weekly_report (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 498 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

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

- n/a `stability.changes`, `stability.rug_pull`: tool history recorded for 3 of the 7 days needed

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

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

- tools: 4, about 498 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 7139fdcaead30d295739af50a24e5a5d
- tools last changed: 2026-10-16T00:55:54.543Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.botrecipe/loop.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.botrecipe/loop)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (4)

- `check_step`: Call AFTER each tool call or agent step with what you just did and whether it failed. Loop Breaker fingerprints the call (tool + normalized args + error) and returns verdict ok, loop_detected or halted. Pro: on a loop, halt=true; stop the run, do not retry, and tell your user what repeated. Free watch-only: never halts, returns would_halt and logs it for the weekly report.
- `loop_status`: Show a run's loops so far, whether it is halted, and its last 10 steps.
- `usage_and_upgrade`: Show today's usage for your key or IP and the $49/month All Access upgrade link (cloudforbots.com/offer). Free tier: 500 calls/day. Not metered.
- `weekly_report`: Draft a plain-English report of the last 7 days for your key (or IP): runs, loops caught, wasted repeat steps, and the worst offenders. Read-only; sends nothing. Show it to your user.
