## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 99
- freshness: 85
- provenance: 75
- drivers: +repository +dns-namespace +reachable +uptime-97% ~updated-77d-ago
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 91/100 (strong)

### 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: 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`: 17 of 17 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 4,564 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

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

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

- tools: 17, about 4,564 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: b82c7a06bda7b2064e77fd1ec2d21830
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/sh.handover/handover.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/sh.handover/handover)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (17)

- `handover.annotate`: Add a durable comment anchored to selected text or lines in an immutable artifact revision. Read the artifact first and preserve the exact quote and surrounding context.
- `handover.annotations`: Read revision-anchored file comments, selected text, status, authorship, and resolution metadata. Use status=open to find feedback that still needs action.
- `handover.assign`: Replace the open assignments with the supplied collaborator identities. This changes collaboration state, not the immutable handover revision.
- `handover.comment`: Append a discussion comment and optionally notify explicitly mentioned collaborators.
- `handover.continue`: Append an immutable revision after reading the current snapshot. expectedRevisionId is mandatory to prevent overwriting another collaborator's work. Omitted artifacts are inherited; matching names are replaced.
- `handover.create`: Create durable shared context with an initial immutable revision. Authorship comes from the authenticated Handover identity.
- `handover.get`: Read a handover snapshot, continuation brief, artifact metadata, and revision history. Omit revisionId for the current snapshot.
- `handover.okf.export`: Export a handover revision as an Open Knowledge Format bundle for another human or agent system.
- `handover.okf.import`: Import Open Knowledge Format files into a new immutable Handover revision. Replaying the same bundle is idempotent.
- `handover.publication`: Read the stable report URL, entry file, access mode, and selected revision for a handover.
- `handover.publish`: Create or update a stable /r/{slug}/ report projection of a Handover revision.
- `handover.pull`: Return the selected files of a published report with paths, hashes, media types, and UTF-8 or base64 content.
- `handover.read_artifact`: Read bounded artifact content after inspecting a handover. Text is returned as UTF-8 and binary content as base64; truncated results report that explicitly.
- `handover.search`: Find current shared context with hybrid, semantic, or lexical retrieval across metadata and artifact content. Use an empty query to list recent handovers.
- `handover.thread`: Read comments, explicit mentions, assignments, and eligible collaborators without changing revision history.
- `handover.update_comment`: Edit an authored comment, or resolve/reopen an annotation. Set resolvedRevisionId when a new handover revision addressed the feedback.
- `handover.whoami`: Return the authenticated person or service agent, organization, workspace, role, and granted scopes. Call this before reading or publishing to confirm attribution and tenancy.
