## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 98
- freshness: 85

- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 79/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 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: arbiter_compare (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); arbiter_embed (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 540 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: 2, about 540 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 06c4ec0ce55168047d97e5aefc3e2966
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/fyi.grip/arbiter.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/fyi.grip/arbiter)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (2)

- `arbiter_compare`: Paid ARBITER finite-candidate measurement for contextual choice. Use when a caller already has an explicit candidate field and needs it ordered against a query, current state, intent, context, question, or perspective. query is the situation to measure. candidates is the finite caller-supplied field to order. top_k optionally limits returned results. Returns MCP text content containing the JSON result from POST /v1/compare with the supplied candidates ordered by measured coherence. Does not generate candidates or execute the selected action. Deterministic for identical inputs and engine state. Price: $0.01 USDC on Base per call. MCP identity: fyi.grip/arbiter.
- `arbiter_embed`: Paid ARBITER deterministic persistent machine representation. Use when a caller needs representations of supplied text for storage, indexing, retrieval, clustering, reuse, or later comparison. Use arbiter_compare instead when an explicit finite candidate field needs ordering now. texts is one or more supplied strings. Returns MCP text content containing the JSON result from POST /v1/embed. Does not store, retrieve, update, delete, or rank records. Deterministic for identical inputs and engine state. Price: $0.01 USDC on Base per call. MCP identity: fyi.grip/arbiter.
