## Quality 68/100 (needs work)

### 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
- 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: ring_next (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ring_bid_info (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ring_random (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 449 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`: 2 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: 9, about 449 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 6852f40086c9bad6990049b60159a8cf
- tools last changed: 2026-10-01T21:18:57.111Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/online.webring/ring.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/online.webring/ring)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-01 `ring_bid_info` changed (description)
  - before: How to bid a member up the leaderboard: minimum, auction rules, and the MPP payment flow.
  - after: How to pay a member up the leaderboard: minimum, ranking rules, and the MPP payment flow.
- 2026-10-01 `ring_leaderboard` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Members ranked by standing bid totals (cumulative, but decaying when quiet; any new bid revives the full total); #1 holds the homepage spot. to_take_first_usd is the single bid that takes #1. Optional limit/offset.
  - after: Members ranked by total paid (join fee plus anything paid on top; totals never shrink); earlier join wins ties; #1 holds the homepage spot. to_take_first_usd is the single payment that takes #1. Optional limit/offset.
