## Quality 88/100 (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: 93 (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`: 4 of 4 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- warn `tools.directory_hints`: 1 of 4 tools declare all four hints; missing: export_usage (destructiveHint, idempotentHint); get_ingest_snippet (destructiveHint, idempotentHint); get_usage (destructiveHint, idempotentHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 571 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`: 1 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`: deps.dev does not know api-meter-mcp@1.0.0

- tools: 4, about 571 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 143c2b24cd305698f1676361b48ef971

- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.Surface-ops/api-meter.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.Surface-ops/api-meter)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (4)

- `create_account`: Sign up an API for API Meter (free to 250K requests/month). Returns the slug, ingest key, dashboard key and proxy URL. Keys are shown once: store them. Limited to 5 signups per hour per network.
- `export_usage`: Billing-ready monthly usage rows (same as /api/export): view=detail (customer x plan x method x endpoint) or view=customers. Returns JSON rows, or CSV text with format=csv.
- `get_ingest_snippet`: Copy-paste server code that reports each request (method, route, status, latency, customer, plan) to API Meter. Batched, fail-open, never blocks your API.
- `get_usage`: Monthly (UTC) usage for one API, grouped by customer, endpoint or plan. Includes an agent bucket: requests whose plan label ends in '-agent' (AI agent / bot traffic, counted and billed like any request).
