## Quality 94/100 (new)

### protocol: 88 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- warn `protocol.list_ttl`: tools/list declares ttlMs 0, so clients re-fetch it on every use

### 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: 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 585 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 1 of the 7 days needed

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

- tool set hash: 815f674073dd40bd7d5803bb9f978976
- tools last changed: 2026-10-19T04:09:03.802Z

## Tools (3)

- `get_curator_item`: Retrieve one published Curator item by a stable ID returned from search_curator. Includes source links, dated prices, variants, media and referral disclosures. Does not verify live availability or render UI.
- `render_curator_items`: Display up to 12 Curator finds as interactive cards in chat. First call search_curator or get_curator_item and choose matching IDs. Pass only those IDs; the server supplies authoritative public facts. Preserves the requested order. Users can filter, inspect, select and discuss items; selections are temporary and are not a saved wishlist.
- `search_curator`: Find published Curator selections, newest first. Search literal words across public item facts; combine category and an optional USD price ceiling. Empty query browses the catalog. Returns complete public facts and stable IDs with pagination. Prices are recorded observations; unknown prices do not match maxPrice. To display chosen results as cards, next call render_curator_items.
