## Quality 68/100 (needs work)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-03-26; 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: get_decade_names (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_name_diaspora (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_name_debuts (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,066 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: 12, about 1,066 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: a8378574cddea3686b8adcdf19644ae7
- tools last changed: 2026-10-05T01:48:07.289Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.michaelcolenso/nobodynamed.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.michaelcolenso/nobodynamed)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-05 `get_name_diaspora` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Returns the geographic spread of a name over time: where it originated, when it peaked nationally, which states adopted it and when, and how many states never adopted it.
  - after: Returns the geographic spread of a name over time: where it first broke out (a clearly higher rate there than nationally), when it peaked nationally, which states broke out and when, and which states never did. `neverAdopted` lists the states that never passed the breakout test; it does not mean the name had no bearers there. Names first recorded nationally in 1910 or earlier, before state records begin, list all 51 states because no origin can be observed.

## Tools (12)

- `compare_names`: Side-by-side comparison of 2-3 names: full yearly series for each so trends can be plotted or contrasted directly.
- `get_decade_names`: Returns the top baby names aggregated across an entire calendar decade.
- `get_name_data`: Returns full yearly birth count timeseries (1880–2025) for a given name for both sexes, including trend classification (rising/stable/declining/endangered/extinct), peak year, and peak count.
- `get_name_debuts`: Returns every name that appeared in SSA records for the first time in the given year — genuine linguistic novelties, celebrity imports, invented spellings, or names newly crossing the 5-birth reporting threshold.
- `get_name_diaspora`: Returns the geographic spread of a name over time: where it first broke out (a clearly higher rate there than nationally), when it peaked nationally, which states broke out and when, and which states never did. `neverAdopted` lists the states that never passed the breakout test; it does not mean the name had no bearers there. Names first recorded nationally in 1910 or earlier, before state records begin, list all 51 states because no origin can be observed.
- `get_name_enrichment`: Returns a precomputed profile for a name: estimated living population and median age, its popularity wave shape, cultural catalysts (events/media tied to spikes), historical demographic profiles by era (top occupations, region, urban vs. rural), and regional anomalies (states where it over-indexes).
- `get_names_by_status`: Returns a curated list of names filtered by trend status.
- `get_name_twin`: Finds the names whose popularity trajectory over time is most similar to the given name (cosine similarity on the yearly series), i.e. names that rose and fell together.
- `get_site_metadata`: Returns top-10 names per year, total birth counts per year, and the full year range covered by the dataset.
- `get_year_movers`: Year-over-year rank changes for the top 100 names of each sex vs. the prior year: biggest gainers, biggest losers, and new entrants.
- `get_year_names`: Returns the top baby names for a given birth year (1880–2025).
- `search_names`: Autocomplete search for US baby names. Returns up to 10 suggestions matching the given prefix.
