## 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 declares ttlMs 0, so clients re-fetch it on every use

### 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 566 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name
- pass `stability.new_links`: no tool change named a new site

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

- tools: 5, about 566 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: fcbe77c149e0921e819cd205d6fa0653
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.simms2/pressbox-news-wire.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.simms2/pressbox-news-wire)

## Tools (5)

- `get_pressbox_newsroom`: Find an issuer's public Pressbox newsroom and recent published releases.
- `get_pressbox_public_capabilities`: Explain exactly what Pressbox exposes to AI and what requires consent.

These capabilities apply only to this public, read-only connector. Creating
or distributing releases requires an entirely separate OAuth-protected
application and the user's explicit approval.

- `get_pressbox_release`: Fetch one already-published release by its Pressbox public release ID.

Returns verified public source text, a canonical URL and factual issuer
metadata. It cannot retrieve drafts, private contacts or journalist lists.

- `latest_pressbox_news`: List the latest public Pressbox releases; optionally select a category.
- `search_pressbox_news`: Search public Pressbox press releases by topic, category or issuer name.

Read-only first-party news retrieval. Result pages can be independently
inspected and cited. Search does NOT imply any other assistant has cited it.
