## Quality 89/100 (good)

### 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: 86 (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`: 1 of 1 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: search_painting_lessons (destructiveHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 364 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: 1, about 364 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 558c1788709f5e5b2e6de145851c3e3f
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.1nzpainter/painting-lessons.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.1nzpainter/painting-lessons)

## Tools (1)

- `search_painting_lessons`: Search the mypaintingclub.com painting-lesson knowledge base. The knowledge base is built from transcribed Vimeo lessons covering topics such as colour mixing, brushwork, composition, value, edges, and painting techniques for oils and acrylics. 

Given a natural-language question, the tool returns up to `top_k` relevant answers drawn from real lesson content. Each result includes:
- `answer`: the lesson's explanation for that question
- `lesson_title`: the name of the lesson
- `sales_page_url`: the mypaintingclub.com page where members can watch
- `start_time_seconds` / `end_time_seconds`: the exact clip in the video
- `vimeo_deep_link`: a direct URL to that moment (e.g. https://vimeo.com/123456789#t=312s)
- `score`: cosine distance (lower = more relevant; 0 = identical)

Use this tool whenever a member or agent asks a painting technique question that might be answered by a specific lesson.
