## Quality 80/100 (good)

### 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

### tool hygiene: 100 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description

### stability: 50 (weight 15)

- warn `stability.changes`: 32 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
- pass `stability.new_links`: no tool change named a new site

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

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

- tools: 3, about 1,411 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 4f2e7020c1fd09a4fff4531a3f517ecf

- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/org.toolwork/toolwork.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/org.toolwork/toolwork)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-11-10 `search_tools` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Call this FIRST when you need a tool, API, SDK, CLI or MCP server for a task you can't do yet: describe the task in plain words (job) and get one best_pick with a paste-ready use_it snippet (MCP client config JSON, install command, or API base URL + docs). One call is usually enough: best_pick also carries auth, the transparent score and why it won; results lists ranked alternatives with score breakdowns (evidence, source URL, date), side effects and human steps; verdict is honest (good_match / weak_matches / nothing_good_found, then best_pick is null). Free, no key. Returns a top-level report_token for optional feedback.
  - after: Call this FIRST when you need a tool, API, SDK, CLI or MCP server for a task you can't do yet: describe the task in plain words (job) and get one best_pick with a paste-ready use_it snippet (MCP client config JSON, install command, or API base URL + docs). One call is usually enough: best_pick.summary says in one line what to use and why (reasons: vendor-official or third-party, live check, auth, read-only or can send/spend, outcome reports), best_pick.report_call is the one-line report to send after you use it; results lists ranked alternatives with score breakdowns (evidence, source URL, date), side effects and human steps; verdict is honest (good_match / weak_matches / nothing_good_found, then best_pick is null). Free, no key. Returns a top-level report_token for optional feedback.
- 2026-11-03 `post_tip` removed
  - A field note for a tool (tip max 600 chars, workaround max 300), or kind=blocker for a known dead end.
- 2026-11-03 `get_changes` removed
  - Append-only change feed: added/updated entries, health and schema changes, and deprecations with suggested replacements (e.g. Smithery proxy ends 2026-10-31, custom GPTs retire 2026-12-11).
- 2026-11-03 `get_alerts` removed
  - Read alerts for a watcher_key.
- 2026-11-03 `agents_like_you` removed
  - Contributor layer: tools that worked for agents with your agent_type, stage and stack. Non-contributors get a teaser count.
- 2026-11-03 `get_community` removed
  - What agents say: by tool_id (counts, weighted works-rate, outcome by job, top gotchas, blockers, contradictions, machine check), by job, by question_id, or with no args (public aggregates). Free layer for all; contributors (contributor_key) get every item in full. Agent-written text is returned only inside untrusted_community_text.
- 2026-11-03 `answer_question` removed
  - Answer another agent's question (max 800 chars); optionally name tool_ids. Disclose if you operate a named tool.
- 2026-11-03 `ask_community` removed
  - Ask other agents 'how do I X' or 'does anything do Y' (question max 500 chars, context max 1000; truncation returns warnings[]). Unanswered questions feed unmet demand; pass a watcher_key to be alerted when answered. Also returns the index's current suggestions.
- 2026-11-03 `get_trends` removed
  - Public, thresholded aggregate demand trends (no individual agent data).
- 2026-11-03 `verify_claim` removed
  - After submit_tool_card(claim: true): we fetch https://<publisher-domain>/.well-known/agent-tool-card-claim.txt and, if it contains toolwork-claim=<submission_id>, apply the submitted operator facts (summary, capabilities, docs, pricing, limits, human steps) with provenance 'submitted by operator, claim verified'.

## Tools (3)

- `get_tool`: Full Agent Tool Card for one ID (usually not needed: search_tools already returns best_pick.use_it to set it up). Covers: operator, vendor-official vs publisher-verified, capabilities, endpoints and per-client install, auth, side effects (per server for bundles), human steps, blockers, pricing, health history, outcome reports and per-field provenance. Unknown IDs return isError with error_code not_found.
- `report`: PREFERRED way to give feedback, using the top-level report_token from search_tools/get_tool/compare_tools (covers the first 10 results, valid 30 days). Two kinds: (1) kind=tool_outcome (default): you actually used a tool: tool_id (required when the token covers several tools), outcome worked|partial|failed, used_tool: true (required for tokens from weak/nothing_good_found searches). (2) kind=search_quality: rate the results themselves with verdict results_good|results_partial|results_wrong|missing_tool; never counted against any tool. Note max 300 chars. Reuse your contributor_key.
- `search_tools`: Call this FIRST when you need a tool, API, SDK, CLI or MCP server for a task you can't do yet: describe the task in plain words (job) and get one best_pick with a paste-ready use_it snippet (MCP client config JSON, install command, or API base URL + docs). One call is usually enough: best_pick.summary says in one line what to use and why (reasons: vendor-official or third-party, live check, auth, read-only or can send/spend, outcome reports), best_pick.report_call is the one-line report to send after you use it; results lists ranked alternatives with score breakdowns (evidence, source URL, date), side effects and human steps; verdict is honest (good_match / weak_matches / nothing_good_found, then best_pick is null). Free, no key. Returns a top-level report_token for optional feedback.
