**An agent can connect on its own if it already holds `X_API_KEY`.** Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

## Connection (mcpServers)

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 98
- freshness: 65

## Quality 71/100 (needs work)

### protocol: n/a (weight 25)

- n/a `protocol.modern`, `protocol.stateless`, `protocol.transport`, `protocol.list_ttl`: no remote answered a protocol handshake (not probed yet, unreachable, or local-only)

### 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_congress_trades (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_congress_member (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_congress_stats (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 416 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `stability.changes`, `stability.rug_pull`: tool history not recorded yet

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 3, about 416 tokens to load them all
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.bargo-ai/congress-trades.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.bargo-ai/congress-trades)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (3)

- `get_congress_member`: All disclosed trades for one member of Congress plus a performance summary (trade count, buys/sells, average per-share return on disclosed buys). Pass the member_slug returned by get_congress_trades (e.g. 'nancy-pelosi').
- `get_congress_stats`: Aggregate Congress-trading stats: total trades/members/tickers, buy vs sell counts, latest transaction & disclosure dates, and the most-traded tickers over the last 90 days.
- `get_congress_trades`: U.S. Congress stock trades from official STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports (House Clerk + Senate eFD). Each row: member, chamber, state, ticker, company, type (purchase/sale/exchange), disclosed dollar range, transaction & disclosure dates, AND per-trade performance (price at trade, latest price, % move since). Filter by ticker, member (substring), chamber, or type. Newest transaction first. CAVEAT: PTRs are disclosed up to ~45 days after the trade — read as 'recent weeks', not real-time.
