## Quality 79/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2024-11-05; 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: get_clinic (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_procedures (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); estimate_procedure_cost (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,473 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: 8, about 1,473 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 85a99688df806274b862ae0a36d2a117
- tools last changed: 2026-10-08T16:57:21.908Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/info.vetclinic/directory.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/info.vetclinic/directory)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-08 `quote_for_case` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Composite tool. Always computes an estimate. When owner_email is also present, additionally submits a confirmation-gated lead and dispatches a confirmation email to the owner (requires X-Agent-Attribution header). When PII is absent, behaves identically to estimate_procedure_cost and returns status="estimate_only".
  - after: Composite tool. Always computes an estimate. When owner_email is also present, the case is accepted on arrival: routed at once to a board-certified specialist near the owner (or held while we match one), and the owner gets a receipt email. Requires X-Agent-Attribution when PII is supplied. When PII is absent, behaves identically to estimate_procedure_cost and returns status="estimate_only".
- 2026-10-08 `estimate_procedure_cost` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Anonymous cost estimate. Returns $low–$high range computed from regional + case factors. Deterministic on identical inputs. PII fields are rejected — use quote_for_case for the PII path.
  - after: Anonymous cost estimate. Returns $low–$high range computed from regional + case factors. Only procedure_slug is required: anything omitted gets a stated default listed in "assumptions" (no zip → the state, else the national range). Deterministic on identical inputs. PII fields are rejected — use quote_for_case for the PII path.

## Tools (8)

- `estimate_procedure_cost`: Anonymous cost estimate. Returns $low–$high range computed from regional + case factors. Only procedure_slug is required: anything omitted gets a stated default listed in "assumptions" (no zip → the state, else the national range). Deterministic on identical inputs. PII fields are rejected — use quote_for_case for the PII path.
- `find_specialists_by_procedure`: Convenience: combines get_procedure + state filter. Returns the ranked specialist finder list for a procedure in a given state.
- `get_clinic`: Fetch a single clinic's full record by slug: credentials, inline reviews, procedures performed, contact action, canonical URL.
- `get_procedure`: Fetch a procedure article with cost band, contraindications, emergency signals, FAQ, citations. When state is supplied, also returns a ranked clinic finder pre-filtered to that state.
- `list_procedures`: Published procedure catalog. Returns slug, display_name, also_known_as, specialty_slug for every procedure with a live article.
- `list_specialties`: Closed-set enum of recognized veterinary specialty slugs. Returns slug, display_name, and credentialing_board.sameAs (when applicable). Always call this before search_clinics if uncertain about specialty mapping.
- `quote_for_case`: Composite tool. Always computes an estimate. When owner_email is also present, the case is accepted on arrival: routed at once to a board-certified specialist near the owner (or held while we match one), and the owner gets a receipt email. Requires X-Agent-Attribution when PII is supplied. When PII is absent, behaves identically to estimate_procedure_cost and returns status="estimate_only".
- `search_clinics`: Find veterinary specialty clinics by city + specialty. Returns a ranked shortlist with credentials, address, rating, review count, and a contact action. Promoted listings rank first. `state` is genuinely optional: omit it and the city is resolved across states; if that city slug exists in more than one state the error carries a `data.candidates` array (state, state_name, clinic_count) to re-call with.
