## Quality 91/100 (strong)

### 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

- pass `tools.annotations`: 2 of 2 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 414 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 (2)

- `check_recalls`: List open safety recall campaigns for a vehicle by VIN, using the NHTSA Recalls database. Decodes the VIN internally to get make/model/year, then looks up campaigns for that vehicle configuration. Important: results are recall campaigns issued for the make/model/year configuration — this does NOT confirm whether this specific VIN's vehicle was actually repaired at a dealer. Always describe results as 'open recall campaigns for this vehicle,' never as whether the car 'is' or 'isn't' fixed.
- `decode_vin`: Decode a 17-character US vehicle VIN into make, model, year, body class, engine cylinders, fuel type, drive type, and assembly plant country, using the NHTSA vPIC database. Covers US-market vehicles built from 1981 onward (the 17-character VIN standard); pre-1981 and some foreign-market vehicles may return partial or no data. Decoded fields are manufacturer-submitted and individual fields may be missing even for a successfully decoded VIN.
