## Quality 79/100 (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: 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: duty_stack_rules (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_import_claim (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); landed_cost (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,568 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: 8, about 1,568 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 5cd295b0d2e4f80adb02503864dc2e0f
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.f-tiger/us-import-duty-facts.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.f-tiger/us-import-duty-facts)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (8)

- `check_import_claim`: Fact-check a circulating claim about US import duties against the dated official record. Returns a verdict, why, and the sources. Covers the four figures still repeated everywhere in 2026: the $800 de minimis exemption, the $80–$200 postal flat duty, the ~54%/$100 courier rule, and 'reciprocal' baseline tariffs. Use this when a user quotes a number for US imports.
- `classification_rulings`: Search CBP's own binding classification rulings (CROSS) for a product in plain words and get what CBP actually decided: ruling number, date, subject, the HTS codes it assigned — including any chapter 99 heading, which is what carries a Section 301 addition — and whether the ruling has been revoked or modified. This is precedent from the agency that decides, not a guess: it is how you check whether the code your supplier gave you matches what CBP has ruled on comparable goods. Queried live at call time from rulings.cbp.gov; nothing is mirrored here.
- `duty_passport`: Candidate HTS headings for a consumer product category, pulled daily from the official USITC HTS REST API: the candidate line, its general rate, every rated line in the heading, and the Section 301 status to verify on USTR. These are candidates chosen by category reading, not a classification ruling — the importer of record classifies.
- `duty_stack_rules`: The current China→US import duty stack, rule by rule, each with the record that establishes it and the date it was decided or published: HTS base rate, Section 301, Section 232, the struck-down IEEPA tariffs (2026-02-20), the indefinite de minimis suspension (2026-06-24), the expired postal flat rate (2026-02-28), and the MPF/HMF fee rates. Use this before quoting any US import rule from memory — the 2025 guidance that dominates training data is superseded.
- `import_rule_changes`: What changed in the general US import rules, newest first, from the official Federal Register API: presidential tariff actions, CBP and DHS rules, USTR notices — each with its publication date, document number and federalregister.gov link. Use `since` to get only what is new to you, the same way you would poll a changelog. Case-specific antidumping, ITC and Foreign-Trade Zone paperwork is out of scope by design and the response says so.
- `landed_cost`: Itemise a US landed cost from rates you supply: duties (HTS base + Section 301 + Section 232 on the customs value), MPF 0.3464% with the CBP floor disclosed, HMF 0.125% on ocean entries, plus freight and insurance. Deterministic arithmetic with the assumptions and sources attached. This tool never invents a product's duty rate: omit hts_base_rate_pct and it refuses and points you at the official schedule.
- `recall_check`: Official US product recalls (CPSC saferproducts.gov API) touching a product category in the last 365 days: date, title, hazard and the cpsc.gov URL. A keyword hit means the words appear in a recall title, not that a particular supplier or SKU is affected. Use before recommending or sourcing a category.
- `section_301_ladder`: The Section 301 (China) additional-duty ladder, read straight from the official USITC HTS export of chapter 99 subchapter III: which 9903.88 / 9903.91 heading carries which addition (7.5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 50%, 100%), which U.S. note defines its list, and — where the schedule states it — the date that heading took effect. It tells you the possible rates and where coverage is defined; it never asserts that a particular HTS8 code is on a list, because that lives in U.S. note 20/31 and the USTR annexes.
