## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 100
- freshness: 100

- drivers: +dns-namespace +website +reachable +uptime-100% +updated-14d-ago -no-repository
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 100/100 (strong)

### protocol: 100 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- pass `protocol.list_ttl`: tool list is cacheable (ttlMs 3600000)

### 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`: 4 of 4 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,233 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`: 5 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: 4, about 1,233 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 309deae852f28aff6d179cc37b51fc85
- tools last changed: 2026-10-07T07:31:11.291Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.kaicast/ocean-conditions.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.kaicast/ocean-conditions)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-07 `recommend_spot` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Ranked top picks (max 5) for an activity in one area on one day — by region id, or lat+lon with a radius. Each pick has the best daylight window, why (from the published conditions), a confidence score with its factors, caveats to relay, and a KaiCast spot card. Returns status "not_covered" / "conditions_only" / "activity_not_modeled" honestly instead of guessing. Activities: snorkel (native model), dive, freedive, spearfish (proxy model; spots in water closed to spearfishing are excluded), surf (not modeled). Free during early access.
  - after: Ranked top picks (max 5) for an activity in one area on one day — by region id, or lat+lon with a radius. Each pick has the best daylight window, why (from the published conditions), a confidence score with its factors, caveats, and a KaiCast spot card. Returns status "not_covered" / "conditions_only" / "activity_not_modeled" honestly instead of guessing. Activities: snorkel (native model), dive, freedive, spearfish (proxy model; spots in water closed to spearfishing are excluded), surf (not modeled). Free during early access.
- 2026-10-07 `list_coverage` changed (description)
  - before: Which regions and spots KaiCast covers, and whether each region supports decisions (recommend_spot, best_day) or facts only. Also lists supported activities and how directly each is modeled. Call this first when unsure a place is covered. Free.
  - after: Which regions and spots KaiCast covers, and whether each region supports ranked decisions (spot picks and best-day answers) or facts only. Also lists supported activities and how directly each is modeled. Anywhere not listed is not covered. Free.

## Tools (4)

- `best_day`: Which day in a window (max 7 days) is best for an activity at a destination — a spot, a region, or lat+lon with a radius — and why, versus the runner-up. Returns every day's best score, confidence, caveats and a KaiCast spot card for the winner. Free during early access.
- `get_conditions`: Facts for ONE covered spot over up to 7 days: 3-hour forecast periods with condition score (0-100) and rating, water visibility (ft), swell height/period/direction, wind, tide state and height, water temperature, plus tide events and data quality. Pass a spot id, or lat+lon to use the nearest covered spot within 30 km. Free.
- `list_coverage`: Which regions and spots KaiCast covers, and whether each region supports ranked decisions (spot picks and best-day answers) or facts only. Also lists supported activities and how directly each is modeled. Anywhere not listed is not covered. Free.
- `recommend_spot`: Ranked top picks (max 5) for an activity in one area on one day — by region id, or lat+lon with a radius. Each pick has the best daylight window, why (from the published conditions), a confidence score with its factors, caveats, and a KaiCast spot card. Returns status "not_covered" / "conditions_only" / "activity_not_modeled" honestly instead of guessing. Activities: snorkel (native model), dive, freedive, spearfish (proxy model; spots in water closed to spearfishing are excluded), surf (not modeled). Free during early access.
