## Quality 79/100 (good)

### 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.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: scan_barcode (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); submit_missing_product (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_catalog_stats (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 622 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`: no 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: 5, about 622 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 31658f7020f9a1d2f44bf7a35b372860
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.lowtoxgear/scanner.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.lowtoxgear/scanner)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (5)

- `get_catalog_stats`: Return the size of the indexed Australian product catalogue — total, food, beauty, and total scans performed. Useful to set user expectations on coverage.
- `get_magnet_samples`: List the six condition-specific magnet guides with sample product images. Each guide is a strict-clean shortlist (eczema-safe personal care, clean shampoos AU, mineral-only sunscreens AU, pregnancy-safe beauty, fragrance-free essentials, snacks without artificial dyes).
- `get_resources`: URL templates for chained queries — product page, per-product alternatives, category alternatives, magnet guides, OG images, and full LLM-ready documentation. Use to give the user/agent canonical links they can fetch or render directly.
- `scan_barcode`: Look up an Australian product by barcode (EAN/UPC/JAN, 6–14 digits) and get full chemical-safety analysis. Returns the product info (if found) plus an array of flagged ingredients with severity (red/amber), the matching chemical rule, source citation, and condition-specific notes. Optional `conditions` array escalates flags for users with chronic conditions: mcas, eczema, pcos, fertility, pregnancy, fibromyalgia, pots, ibs, hashimotos, fragrance, autism, adhd, asthma, autoimmune, endometriosis, lyme, chronic-fatigue.
- `submit_missing_product`: Request that a product be added to the Low Tox Scanner index. Useful when scan_barcode returns product_found: false. Submission goes to a moderation queue.
