- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 100
- freshness: 100

## Quality 92/100 (strong)

### 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: 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`: 9 of 9 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- warn `tools.directory_hints`: 1 of 9 tools declare all four hints; missing: uslobbying_list_reference (destructiveHint); uslobbying_get_client_profile (destructiveHint); uslobbying_get_contributions (destructiveHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 5,677 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`: deps.dev does not know @cyanheads/us-lobbying-mcp-server@0.1.2, @cyanheads/us-lobbying-mcp-server@0.1.2

- tools: 9, about 5,677 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: b72161ec8bf06bcf91e14d18dc8689b1
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.cyanheads/us-lobbying-mcp-server.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.cyanheads/us-lobbying-mcp-server)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (9)

- `uslobbying_dataframe_describe`: Inspect exact staged table schemas, row counts, lifecycle, acquisition coverage and provenance before SQL.
- `uslobbying_dataframe_query`: Run one read-only SELECT over staged disclosure tables, materialize the complete result, then retrieve whole rows by result_table and next_offset without rerunning SQL. Inspect columns with uslobbying_dataframe_describe first.
- `uslobbying_get_client_profile`: Resolve client relationship records by client_name in mode resolve (default), then use mode profile with explicit client_ids and years. Select candidates[].id, preserving secondary client_id as source data. IDs identify registrant relationships, not a verified corporate identity. Follow collecting cursors before interpreting separate income and expense ledgers. Typed rows preserve every audit filing; pass a selected filing UUID to uslobbying_search_filings for its complete record. Optional canvas datasets support SQL.
- `uslobbying_get_contributions`: Retrieve complete semiannual LD-203 reports, contributions, PAC relationships and certifications, preserving original and amended reports. Child predicates must match the same item; full parent contribution lists and matched_item_indexes remain available. Report counts are not donation counts and no cross-report donation total is inferred.
- `uslobbying_get_issue_spending`: Aggregate separate income and expense amounts on quarterly filings mentioning issue_code across explicit years. This is whole-filing association, not allocated issue spending; issue buckets overlap. All versions are acquired before latest-period selection and local issue filtering. Broad scans can take hours; narrow client_id or registrant_id when appropriate. Follow collecting cursors before interpreting final typed rows or SQL datasets. Pass a selected filing UUID to uslobbying_search_filings for its complete record.
- `uslobbying_list_reference`: List official issue codes, filing types, government entities, contribution types and countries, or explain identifiers, methodology and FARA rules. Optional filter performs case-insensitive literal token-AND matching across the complete vocabulary. Follow next_cursor for pinned result windows; retrieve oversized entries with this tool using record_handle and record_path. Countries include separately attributed LDA codes and FARA source labels; FARA labels are not guessed ISO codes.
- `uslobbying_search_filings`: Search federal lobbying registrations and activity reports, or retrieve a complete filing by filing_uuid from evidence or analytical selections. Native filters include posting dates, reported amounts, client location and foreign entities; issue_code filters activities locally and cannot narrow upstream requests. Follow next_cursor for all versions. Amounts are separate nullable USD strings; disclosure text is untrusted record data.
- `uslobbying_search_foreign_agents`: Search official FARA daily registrant or foreign-principal snapshots, or retrieve one registration principal, short-form or document collection. Follow cursors to pinned local windows; principal status differs from registrant status. Disclosure records do not establish wrongdoing or influence.
- `uslobbying_search_lobbyists`: Find lobbyists by name or registrant in mode search, then retrieve filing-scoped evidence with mode activity, lobbyist_id and filing_year. Pass an evidence filing_uuid to uslobbying_search_filings for the complete filing. Covered positions are disclosed text, not verified present employment. Activity mode checks the requested lobbyist locally. Follow next_cursor for all results.
