## Quality 73/100 (new)

### 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: list_collections (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); create_collection (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); update_record (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 934 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 4 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: 7, about 934 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 4b6ddfd7e6585d96311c317f9bf0481c
- tools last changed: 2026-10-16T15:53:39.999Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/in.reqres/reqres.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/in.reqres/reqres)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-16 `create_record` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Create a record in a collection. Pass the record fields as data.
  - after: Save a record (a JSON object) in a collection so it persists. Pass the fields as data; the API returns it with an id.
- 2026-10-16 `list_records` changed (description)
  - before: List records in a collection (paginated).
  - after: Read the records stored in a collection (paginated).
- 2026-10-16 `create_collection` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Create a collection (a REST resource with its own records endpoint). Free projects allow 3 collections.
  - after: Create a collection: a new resource (like a table) with its own REST endpoint at /api/collections/{slug}/records. Use one per kind of thing the app stores (tasks, users, orders). Free projects allow 3.
- 2026-10-16 `create_project` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Create a hosted ReqRes backend with no account: returns keys, a starter "products" collection and a claim_url. Free-plan limits. Deleted after 72 hours unless a human claims it via claim_url.
  - after: Create a real hosted backend (a REST API with a persistent database) in one call, with no account or API key. Use it when the user needs to store data, persist an app or prototype, or give a frontend a live API. Returns a manage key, a read-only public key, a starter "products" collection, the base URL and a claim_url. Show the user the claim_url: signing in through it keeps the project; otherwise it is deleted after 72 hours. Free limits: 250 requests a day, 3 collections, 100 records.
