## Quality 76/100 (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: 64 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- warn `tools.description_length`: 1 tools have descriptions over 1,024 characters, which crowds the context
- 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: find_xkcd (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 431 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: 1, about 431 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 94abf9601efef1eedbb9c401662e5b05
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.papjuli/xkcdai.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.papjuli/xkcdai)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (1)

- `find_xkcd`: Find xkcd comics semantically relevant to the current conversation.

    Call this whenever an xkcd comic might enrich the conversation — when the
    discussion lands on a topic xkcd is famous for skewering (programming, science,
    statistics, relationships, the absurdity of standards, etc.).

    Pass a concise description of the current topic or theme as `context` (a phrase
    or sentence works better than a whole transcript), e.g. "spending hours
    automating a task that was faster to do by hand" or "code finally compiling".

    IMPORTANT — deciding whether to mention one. xkcd has a comic for almost every
    topic, so this tool will nearly always return something. A result being
    returned does NOT mean you should bring it up. Use the `score` as a signal and
    apply your own judgment about conversational fit:
        score >= 0.75  strong match — usually worth mentioning if it fits the moment
        0.66 - 0.75    plausible — mention only if it genuinely lands
        < 0.66         weak/tangential — almost always better to stay silent
    Only one comic, at most, per topic — and only when it actually adds something.

    When you do share one, cite it by number and title with its `url`, and quote
    the `alt` (mouseover) text — it's half the joke.

    Returns a dict with a `results` list (num, title, score, url, image, alt,
    explain_url) and a `count`. An empty list means nothing cleared the floor.
