## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 99
- freshness: 100
- provenance: 55
- drivers: +dns-namespace +website +reachable +uptime-97% +updated-8d-ago -no-repository
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 85/100 (good)

### 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

### tool hygiene: 100 (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`: 1 of 1 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 777 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: 1, about 777 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: f0ab7e6c368af620c28dfe9f407d35d4
- tools last changed: 2026-10-18T15:36:51.597Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/org.textclean/textclean.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/org.textclean/textclean)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-18 `clean_text` changed (title, description, inputSchema, outputSchema, annotations) **meaning changed**
  - before: Clean copied text while preserving headings, paragraphs, lists, quotations, emphasis, and intentional spacing. Supports PDF repair and destination-specific rendering.
  - after: Clean supplied text deterministically without rewriting its meaning. Use for copied PDF text, Markdown/HTML artifacts, citations, spacing, or destination formatting; not OCR, file uploads, grammar correction, or AI-authorship detection. Preserves supported document structure unless a selected cleanup removes it. Returns cleanedText, destination-rendered text, optional html, a changes list, and usage counters as structured JSON and matching JSON text. No API key required. 20 calls per UTC day per network address; shared networks share this allowance. Service-wide load protection can return HTTP 429; honor Retry-After. Maximum 20000 UTF-16 code units per call. Accepted processing attempts consume quota, including repeats. Input and results are processed remotely in memory, not stored or logged; only quota metadata is retained. Validation and quota failures return errors. Example: {"text":"A split para-\ngraph.","preset":"pdf","destination":"email"}.
