## 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`: 12 of 12 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 4,729 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)

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

- tools: 12, about 4,729 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 52f275deee9eea7c45f329bc6960860e
- tools last changed: 2026-10-09T11:17:26.354Z

- `satellite_passes`: skypeek: Predict satellite passes over a location. Returns the passes of a satellite (default the ISS) over a point in the next 1-3 days: start, highest and end times with azimuth and elevation, duration, and whether the pass is visible to the eye. Input: `lat`, `lon`, optional `alt_m`, `norad_id`, `days`, `min_elevation` and `visible_only`. SGP4 predictions, not observations, from CelesTrak orbital elements (only derived pass times are returned; no endorsement by CelesTrak implied). Satellites: CelesTrak's 'stations' and 'visual' groups plus NOAA 15 / 18 / 19; another NORAD id is a 422 (not charged). At most 40 passes. A cold orbital-data cache or an upstream outage can be a 503 (not charged; retry). Typically under 1 s; with a cold orbital-data cache up to a minute or more (a 503 when too slow, not charged: retry). Price: USD 0.002. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day.

- `sun_moon_times`: skypeek: Get sunrise, sunset, twilight, moonrise and moon phase for a place and date. Returns sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length and civil / nautical / astronomical twilight, plus moonrise, moonset, moon phase, illumination and distance, for a point and a local date, in a time zone you choose. Input: `lat`, `lon`, optional `date` and `tz`. Computed locally (Meeus series; no upstream call): sun and twilight times within about 1 minute, moonrise and moonset within about 3 minutes; sea-level horizon, terrain and weather not modelled. A bad date or time zone is a 422 (not charged). Typically under 0.2 s. Price: USD 0.001. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/sunrise-sunset-moon-phase-api.html
