## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 99
- freshness: 85

- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 79/100 (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
- 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: compare_formats (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); identify_format (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); convert_file (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 545 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: 7, about 545 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: b0919dbf90ec1446b159cef72274452f
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/so.falcon/frontier-reference.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/so.falcon/frontier-reference)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

_No tool definition changes recorded._

## Remotes

## Packages

_none_

## Tools (7)

- `compare_formats`: Compare two file formats (by slug, extension, or filename) — extensions, category, and a verdict on when to choose each. Use for 'X vs Y' / 'difference between X and Y'.
- `convert_file`: Find the in-browser converter (if any) that turns one format into another, e.g. from='fbx' to='glb'. Returns the tool URL and notes, all client-side (files never upload). Use for 'how do I convert X to Y'.
- `get_company`: Profile of a frontier company: what they build, why it matters for frontier design, competitors and technologies from the knowledge graph.
- `get_definition`: Get the definition and reference copy for a dictionary term, technology, sensor, or file format by slug (use `search` to find slugs).
- `identify_format`: Identify a file format from an extension, filename, or slug (e.g. 'step', 'scan.mcap', 'gltf') and get how to open or convert it: what it stores, its extensions/MIME/spec, whether a free in-browser viewer exists, and available client-side conversions. Use for 'what is this file' / 'how do I open X'.
- `list_design_jobs`: Latest design/UX/HMI roles at frontier companies (defense, robotics, space, industrial, health), refreshed from company job boards.
- `search`: Full-text search across Falcon's frontier design reference: terms, technologies, file formats, sensors, companies, tools, standards.
