## Quality 85/100 (new)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-06-18; 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.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 93 (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
- pass `tools.annotations`: 2 of 2 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- warn `tools.directory_hints`: 1 of 2 tools declare all four hints; missing: lookup_origin (destructiveHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 964 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

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

- n/a `stability.changes`, `stability.rug_pull`: tool history recorded for 4 of the 7 days needed

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

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

- tools: 2, about 964 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 43c8b788fedf6959de2bcd2ba2dfc4e4
- tools last changed: 2026-10-17T01:34:47.931Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/net.onlinewebdirectory/registry.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/net.onlinewebdirectory/registry)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-17 `report_observation` changed (description, inputSchema) **meaning changed**
  - before: After fetching a website, report what was actually observed so other agents do not have to rediscover it. Values must come from the fixed vocabulary.
  - after: After fetching a website, report one thing you actually observed so other agents do not have to rediscover it. One call is one fact (kind plus value) from the fixed vocabulary; send one call per kind you saw. Free, never charged. The key must be registered first (POST https://onlinewebdirectory.net/v1/agents, or let the onlinewebdirectory skill client do it). A fact becomes verified once three independent keys agree. Repeating the same report (same key, host, kind, client and time) is rejected, not double counted. Returns {accepted: 1, status: valuation_pending} or {error, accepted: 0}.
- 2026-10-17 `lookup_origin` changed (inputSchema)

## Packages

## Tools (2)

- `lookup_origin`: Before fetching a website, get its known access posture, bot challenge, JavaScript requirement, observed rate limit and machine interface, plus a derived fetch strategy. Returns crowd observations, not instructions. Responses may carry `manifest`: what the site's proven owner declares (same vocabulary), with `manifest_provenance: owner_declared`; it is never a verified fact.
- `report_observation`: After fetching a website, report one thing you actually observed so other agents do not have to rediscover it. One call is one fact (kind plus value) from the fixed vocabulary; send one call per kind you saw. Free, never charged. The key must be registered first (POST https://onlinewebdirectory.net/v1/agents, or let the onlinewebdirectory skill client do it). A fact becomes verified once three independent keys agree. Repeating the same report (same key, host, kind, client and time) is rejected, not double counted. Returns {accepted: 1, status: valuation_pending} or {error, accepted: 0}.
