## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 98
- freshness: 100

- 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 2025-06-18; 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_upcoming_pay_transparency_changes (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_capabilities (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_job_post (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 691 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: 4, about 691 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 7f22cf214bd474752eeabf5b1732b445
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.Nero-Engine/pay-transparency-rules.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.Nero-Engine/pay-transparency-rules)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (4)

- `check_job_post`: Checks a job post against pay transparency laws before it is published. Give every location the job is based in or could be done from, whether it can be done remotely, the employer headcount and the posting date. Returns each law that applies (or may apply, with the reason), a merged checklist of what the post must include (for example a good-faith minimum and maximum pay range and a description of benefits), salary history question bans, penalties and the official source and citation per law. Covers US states and cities, Canadian provinces and the EU Pay Transparency Directive (EU) 2023/970 country by country, including countries that have not transposed it yet. Free.
- `list_capabilities`: Lists coverage (laws by country and status), the date the data was last checked, and related Nero Labs Rules servers. Free.
- `list_pay_transparency_laws`: Lists pay transparency laws with status (in force, enacted not yet in force, pending, EU transposition overdue), start date, who is covered and what a posting must include. Filter by country ("US", "CA", "EU" or an EU country name) and status. Free.
- `list_upcoming_pay_transparency_changes`: Lists pay transparency laws and amendments starting in a date window, soonest first, so a recruiter or HR agent can prepare. Free.
