## Quality 96/100 (strong)

### protocol: 88 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- warn `protocol.list_ttl`: tools/list carries no ttlMs, so clients re-fetch it

### 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

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description

- pass `tools.annotations`: 5 of 5 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 942 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-06 `list_quizzes` added
  - Find WhyIsMy.org's free ten-question quizzes (health, tech, cars, home and eldercare topics) with instant explanations and a certificate of completion. Both arguments are optional: omit everything to browse, pass query and/or category to narrow. Each result is a one-line teaser plus a link — a quiz is interactive and scores the user in their own browser, so send the user to the URL to take it instead of answering the questions yourself.
