## Trust

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

- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 74/100 (needs work)

### 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: 86 (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`: 11 of 11 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: search_models (destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); calculate_cost (destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); find_best_value (destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,252 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 50 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: 1 tool changes in 30 days
- fail `stability.rug_pull`: 1 tools kept their name but changed most of their description in 30 days; review before trusting them

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

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

- tools: 11, about 1,252 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 08d644897305a66441711465eb832de5
- tools last changed: 2026-10-06T01:49:39.409Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.gishh/aipricinghub.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.gishh/aipricinghub)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-06 `calculate_cost` changed (description, inputSchema) **meaning changed**
  - before: Estimate cost from model pricing and token volumes.
  - after: Estimate cost from total input tokens, their cached subset, output tokens and request count. Optional batch_mode uses available batch rates with standard-rate fallback.
