## 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: cited_report (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); read_skill (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); cited_stats (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 695 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: 9, about 695 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 3d3c2020d74d951977b858d3154df263
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.entradox/cited-visibility-scanner.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.entradox/cited-visibility-scanner)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (9)

- `cited_api_docs`: Self-serve documentation for Cited — quickstart, MCP tools, REST
endpoints, error shapes, and agent-operator policies, as markdown.

Args:
    topic: "quickstart" | "mcp" | "rest" | "errors" | "policies" | "all"
           (default "" == "all"). Unknown topics fall back to full docs.

- `cited_examples`: Complete, runnable recipe for a common Cited integration pattern.

Args:
    pattern: "python_scan" (REST scan + verdict parsing) |
             "agent_watch" (MCP client connect + prompt)

- `cited_health`: Liveness check for the Cited API.
- `cited_report`: Re-fetch a previous scan result by its shareable scan_id.
- `cited_scan`: Run a free instant AI-visibility scan for a local business.

Args:
    business: the business's name, e.g. "Sunshine Smiles Dentistry"
    city: city + state, e.g. "Austin, TX"
    category: the service category, default "dentist"

Returns per-engine verdicts, verbatim AI evidence quotes, citations, and a
`cta_teaser` on any check where the business wasn't the top recommendation
— the specific fix is a paid-tier ($39/mo) feature. Rate limit: 3/IP/24h.
Scan takes under 30s (single-prompt free-tier path).

- `cited_stats`: Funnel counters: page views, scans run, paid registrations.
- `cited_watch_status`: Check whether a business is on the paid weekly monitoring plan.
- `read_skill`: Read a product skill file by its skill:// URI.

Args:
    uri: e.g. skill://<product>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
         Get valid URIs from `skills_list_tool`.

- `skills_list_tool`: List this product's skills. Each entry carries the SKILL.md URI,
its name and description, verbatim frontmatter, and a per-file
sha256 manifest. Read a body with `read_skill`.
