## Quality 68/100 (needs work)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2024-11-05; 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: 71 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: get_stats (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); generate_itinerary (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_knowledge (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 629 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 50 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: 1 tool changes in 30 days
- fail `stability.rug_pull`: 1 tools kept their name but changed most of their description in 30 days; review before trusting them

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

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

- tools: 3, about 629 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 3ba1d32c0b9329c84c304f57b9a3c3a1
- tools last changed: 2026-10-31T22:39:29.772Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.tyronplaatjies74-wq/garden-route-specialist-api.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.tyronplaatjies74-wq/garden-route-specialist-api)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-31 `generate_itinerary` changed (description, inputSchema) **meaning changed**
  - before: Build a day-by-day Garden Route itinerary (west to east, no repeated activities) with per-day costs, a budget check with warnings, dietary verification, safety notes and transport estimates. Costs are in South African rand.
  - after: Build a day-by-day Garden Route itinerary (west to east, no repeated activities) with per-day costs, a budget check, dietary verification, safety notes and transport estimates. Activities within a day are kept walkable or a short costed hop apart. If a town has nothing left or open (e.g. rain), the day becomes a trip to the nearest hub. Picks, prices and whale season depend on the month, so ask the traveller for their travel month first (if omitted, the current month is assumed and flagged). Costs are in South African rand; times and fares are estimates.
