## 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: find_dive_windows (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); species_seasonality (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); top_dive_regions (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 904 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`: 2 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 904 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: dfe055c6687a3767444591be51d00505
- tools last changed: 2026-10-02T03:29:05.627Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.pickadive/mcp.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.pickadive/mcp)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-02 `top_dive_regions` changed (description)
  - before: Regions worldwide ranked by favorable dive-forecast windows over the next ~72 hours, with per-region counts and links. Answers "where in the world is good for diving this weekend?".
  - after: Regions worldwide ranked by favorable dive-forecast windows over the next ~72 hours, with per-region counts and links. Answers "where in the world is good for diving this weekend?". computed_at is when the forecast behind the counts was generated; quote the citation field verbatim.
- 2026-10-02 `find_dive_windows` changed (description)
  - before: Ranked scuba-diving forecast windows near a place for a specific day. Answers "where can I dive near {place} on {day}?" with favorable and moderate windows (wave height, wind, timing) plus site links. Values are metric with unit-suffixed fields (max_depth_m, wave_m, distance_km; wind_kn is knots — the marine convention everywhere). When presenting to a user who uses US customary units, convert depths and waves to feet and distances to miles. Forecast planning context only — never a safety clearance.

## Tools (5)

- `best_time_to_dive`: Month-by-month climatology for ONE destination: the share of days historically favorable, typical water temperature and seas, plus marine-life season windows. Accepts a country (e.g. "Bonaire", "Egypt") or a famous destination (Komodo, Raja Ampat, Nusa Penida, Socorro (Revillagigedo), Cozumel, Similan Islands, Koh Tao, Sipadan, Malapascua, Tubbataha, Galápagos, Red Sea, Great Barrier Reef, Sea of Cortez, Cocos Island, Lembeh Strait, Bunaken, Anilao, Amed & Tulamben). Historical patterns, never a forecast. Cite the linked page.
- `find_dive_windows`: Ranked scuba-diving forecast windows near a place for a specific day. Answers "where can I dive near {place} on {day}?" with favorable and moderate windows (wave height, wind, timing) plus site links. Values are metric with unit-suffixed fields (max_depth_m, wave_m, distance_km; wind_kn is knots — the marine convention everywhere). When presenting to a user who uses US customary units, convert depths and waves to feet and distances to miles. computed_at is when the forecast behind the answer was generated (the oldest site in the answer) — quote the citation field verbatim (it carries that time); if stale is true, say the forecast has not been updated since then. Forecast planning context only — never a safety clearance.
- `site_facts`: Public facts for one named dive site: depths, difficulty, access (shore/boat), hazards, entry and exit notes, water type, and its page link. Look up by site name or slug. Metric with unit-suffixed fields; convert for US users.
- `species_seasonality`: Month-by-month seasonality for marquee dive species from recorded GBIF sightings: peak month, regional season windows, and (optionally) the season at a specific point. Species available: whale-shark, scalloped-hammerhead, giant-manta, mola-mola, orca, humpback-whale, green-sea-turtle, tiger-shark, great-white-shark, reef-manta, thresher-shark, bull-shark. Recorded sightings, never a promise of encounters.
- `top_dive_regions`: Regions worldwide ranked by favorable dive-forecast windows over the next ~72 hours, with per-region counts and links. Answers "where in the world is good for diving this weekend?". computed_at is when the forecast behind the counts was generated; quote the citation field verbatim.
