## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 99
- freshness: 100
- provenance: 90
- drivers: +repository +namespace-matches-repo +website +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

- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-10 `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.
- 2026-10-10 `suggest_questions` removed
  - What can I ask Pipeworx? / what is Pipeworx good for? / what can you do? / give me ideas / show me examples / getting started / what data do you have? — the onboarding entry point for an agent that just connected and wants to know what is worth asking. Returns category-bucketed example questions (company financials, drugs & clinical trials, economics, real estate, prediction markets, weather, government & patents, science & academia, news) — each with the exact tool + argument shape that answers it, drawn from the live catalog of thousands of tools. Call with no arguments for the full spread, or pass `topic` (e.g. "finance", "pharma", "betting") to focus. Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools (ask_pipeworx, entity_profile, compare_entities, etc.).
- 2026-10-10 `validate_claim` removed
  - "Is it true that…" / "fact check" / "verify the claim that…" / "did X really…" / "was Y actually…" / "confirm or refute" / "true or false" — natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct. Company-financial claims (revenue, net income, cash for public US companies) verify via the structured SEC EDGAR + XBRL fast path with exact percent-delta math; ANY OTHER factual claim (macro statistics, rates, prices, drug data, records) automatically falls through to the grounded pipeline — routed to the right live source, answered with verbatim evidence, then judged. Returns a verdict (confirmed / approximately_correct / refuted / inconclusive / unsupported / could_not_verify), the grounded or structured actual value with pipeworx:// citation, and reasoning. IMPORTANT for callers: could_not_verify means the check did not happen (our LLM or source failed) and carries verification_error{stage,detail} — it is NOT evidence for or against the claim, and must not be shown as one. unsupported means we looked and cover no source for it. Replaces 4–6 sequential calls (NL parsing → entity resolution → data lookup → comparison).
- 2026-10-10 `nice_recent_guidance` removed
  - NICE guidance published or updated most recently, newest first, optionally restricted to one programme such as technology appraisals. Answers "what has NICE published this month" and shows which treatments have just been appraised for NHS use in England.
- 2026-10-10 `nice_guidance_by_topic` removed
  - Every piece of NICE guidance filed under a condition area — e.g. all breast cancer guidance, or all guidance on type 2 diabetes — with reference numbers, titles, programme and dates. This is the complete curated list for the topic rather than a relevance-ranked search, so it is the right tool for "what has NICE published on X". Call with no topic to list the condition areas that can be asked for.
- 2026-10-10 `nice_recommendations` removed
  - The recommendations chapter of a piece of NICE guidance, in full text — the numbered paragraphs stating what NICE recommends and under what conditions, including whether a medicine is recommended only within its marketing authorisation or only under a commercial arrangement. Answers "did NICE recommend this treatment, and for whom", with the wording that decides NHS funding in England.
- 2026-10-10 `nice_guidance` removed
  - The published record for one piece of NICE guidance by reference number (TA1040, NG101, CG81, QS12, IPG123, DG55, HST20): title, programme, publication and last-review dates, overview, the chapters it contains, the condition area it sits under, and — the part that matters clinically — whether it is still current or has been withdrawn, terminated or replaced, naming the guidance that replaced it.
- 2026-10-10 `nice_search_guidance` removed
  - Search NICE guidance for England by drug, device, procedure or condition — technology appraisals, NICE and clinical guidelines, diagnostics guidance, interventional procedures and quality standards. Returns the reference number (TA1040, NG101), title, guidance type, publication date and summary. Answers whether NICE has assessed a treatment and which document says so, which is the first step to whether the NHS in England funds it.
- 2026-10-10 `forget` removed
  - Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.
- 2026-10-10 `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.
