## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 99
- freshness: 100
- provenance: 85
- drivers: +repository +namespace-matches-repo +website -thin-description +reachable +uptime-97% +updated-24d-ago
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality –/100 (not scored)

Not scored: fewer than three checks apply, usually because no remote answered a credential-free probe or the server is a local package.

### 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: n/a (weight 30)

- n/a `tools.descriptions`, `tools.description_length`, `tools.schemas`, `tools.annotations`, `tools.directory_hints`, `tools.token_cost`, `tools.api_dump`: tool list unknown (behind auth, not probed, or empty)

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

- n/a `stability.changes`, `stability.rug_pull`: tool list unknown

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

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

- tools: unknown
- tools last changed: 2026-10-20T06:03:43.861Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.pipeworx-io/europepmc.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.pipeworx-io/europepmc)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-20 `europepmc_research_affiliation_profile` removed
  - Summarize publications whose author affiliations match an organization, optionally within a topic. Reports authors, journals, publication types, years, and citations from a bounded sample; affiliation text is not proof of sponsorship, ownership, or institutional endorsement.
- 2026-10-20 `europepmc_publication_integrity_profile` removed
  - Inspect one Europe PMC article for linked retractions, corrections, errata, expressions of concern, comments, versions, and preprint/published-version metadata. No linked notice means none was found in Europe PMC—not proof the article is free of concerns.
- 2026-10-20 `europepmc_citation_velocity` removed
  - Aggregate Europe PMC citing-publication records by year for one article and return a recent citation sample. Coverage is Europe PMC’s citation graph, so counts are a floor and citation volume is not evidence quality, replication, or endorsement.
- 2026-10-20 `citations` removed
  - Europe PMC literature database — the citing side of the citation graph: the biomedical articles that cite one article, identified by source (MED, PMC, PPR) plus its id. Returns each citing work's title, authors, journal, publication year and Europe PMC / PubMed identifiers, with the total citation count and a pageSize control. Answers who has cited a paper and how many times it has been cited.
- 2026-10-20 `references` removed
  - Europe PMC literature database — the reference list of one biomedical article, identified by source (MED, PMC, PPR) plus its id. Returns each cited work's title, authors, journal, publication year and its own Europe PMC / PubMed identifiers, with the total count and a pageSize control. Answers what prior work a paper cites.
- 2026-10-20 `abstract` removed
  - Just the title + abstract for one article (faster than get_article).
- 2026-10-20 `get_article` removed
  - Full record for one article by (source, id). Source: MED (Medline), PMC, PPR (preprints), CTX (clinicaltrials).
- 2026-10-20 `search` removed
  - Europe PMC search for biomedical literature and preprints — the preprint server index for medicine and life sciences (bioRxiv, medRxiv, Research Square), for drug/clinical/disease preprint questions where arXiv (physics/CS) has nothing. Lucene-style query — use SRC:PPR to filter to preprints only (e.g. "lecanemab AND alzheimer AND SRC:PPR"), AUTH: for author, ABSTRACT: for abstract text. Returns metadata for matching articles.
- 2026-10-20 `recall` removed
  - Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.
- 2026-10-20 `remember` removed
  - Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-value pair scoped by your identifier. Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions retain memory for 24 hours. Pair with recall to retrieve later, forget to delete.
