## Quality 73/100 (new)

### 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: search_tools (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); compare_tools (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_tool (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 880 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 recorded for 0 of the 7 days needed

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

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

- tools: 7, about 880 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 2b2a020f47487a84e1b9434f6f18b44c
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.kerbelp/ai-collection.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.kerbelp/ai-collection)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (7)

- `browse_category`: List applications inside a specific category, paginated. Use this when the user wants to explore an area rather than search for a specific tool.
- `compare_tools`: Compare two AI tools side-by-side. Returns structured attributes for both (pricing, deployment, modality, content policy) so the client can recommend which fits a user's needs.
- `get_alternatives`: Given a specific AI tool, return similar tools (same category, excluding the original). Use for 'what's like X?' or 'cheaper alternative to Y' questions.
- `get_tool`: Fetch the full detail page for a specific AI tool by its linkName. Returns name, full description, category, screenshot, and additional information if available.
- `get_top_picks`: Return curated editorial picks across the directory, or within a specific category if provided. Use for 'recommend the best AI tools' or 'top X in Y' questions.
- `list_categories`: List all categories in the directory. Useful when the user wants to browse by topic or narrow a search by category.
- `search_tools`: Search the AI Collection directory for AI tools matching a query. Returns a ranked list with name, URL, and short description. Use this for 'find me a tool that does X' requests.
