## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 100
- freshness: 85
- provenance: 90
- drivers: +repository +namespace-matches-repo +website +reachable +uptime-100% ~updated-46d-ago
- 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: tool_compute_sandbox (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); tool_sa_airport_oracle (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); tool_zar_prices (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,140 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 1,140 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: cb69ab77ca439733c68add0c916ebc4f
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.RubenTay/agent-vending-factory.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.RubenTay/agent-vending-factory)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (4)

- `tool_compute_sandbox`: POST /tools/tool_compute_sandbox/run — Executes Python 3.12 code in an isolated subprocess with a 5-second hard timeout. Input: {python_code: string, input_data: any (optional, bound as variable 'input_data')}. Output: {success, result, stdout (capped 50KB), execution_time_ms, error_type}. Return value: assign to 'result' variable. Pre-loaded: math, json, re, statistics, itertools, functools, collections, decimal, datetime, random, hashlib, base64. Blocked: import, open(), eval(), exec(), os, sys, network, class definitions, dunder attributes. error_type values: syntax_error | security_error | runtime_error | timeout_error. Cost: $0.1500 USDC per call.
- `tool_data_transformer`: POST /tools/tool_data_transformer/run — Extracts structured JSON from raw text using a caller-supplied JSON Schema. Input: {raw_text: string, target_json_schema: object (JSON Schema draft-07)}. Output: {success, extracted_data, extraction_method, validation_passed, error}. extraction_method is one of: 'direct_parse', 'embedded_json', 'regex_extraction'. No LLM involved — pure parsing pipeline. Type coercion applied for integer/number/boolean fields. Works best with flat schemas; deeply nested structures extract less reliably via key-value pass. Cost: $0.0500 USDC per call.
- `tool_sa_airport_oracle`: POST /tools/sa-airport-oracle/run — Returns live flight status from ACSA (airports.co.za). Input: {airport_code: 'JNB'|'CPT'|'DUR', flight_number: string, request_type: 'arrival'|'departure'}. Output: {success, live_status, scheduled_time, estimated_time, actual_time, gate, carousel, terminal, flight_number, airport_code, request_type, error}. Coverage: JNB (O.R. Tambo), CPT (Cape Town Int'l), DUR (King Shaka). Data window: flights within 48 hours. Call GET /tools/sa-airport-oracle/health (free) first — if structure_valid=false, do not proceed. error_type values: 'stale_data' (do not retry), 'not found' (retry after 10-15 min), network error (retry once). flight_number is case-insensitive and normalised to uppercase internally. Read-only — no booking/ticketing. Cost: $0.1200 USDC per call.
- `tool_zar_prices`: POST /tools/zar-prices/run — Returns live bid/ask/last prices for crypto/ZAR pairs. Input: {pair: 'BTC/ZAR'|'ETH/ZAR'|'SOL/ZAR'|'USDC/ZAR'|'all'}. Output: array of {exchange, pair, price, bid, ask, timestamp} objects. Sources: VALR (all 4 pairs), Luno (BTC/ZAR + ETH/ZAR only). SOL/ZAR and USDC/ZAR are VALR-only. Fetches all exchanges concurrently. Timestamps are ISO-8601 UTC. Cost: $0.0050 USDC per call.
