## Quality 96/100 (strong)

### 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`: 2 of 2 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 583 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump
- pass `tools.hidden_text`: no hidden text in tool names, descriptions, schemas or annotations

### 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
- pass `stability.new_links`: no tool change named a new site

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

- tools: 2, about 583 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: ce81066d3b7798fadbbd9bdb6ca51811
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/top.petalpal/plant-care.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/top.petalpal/plant-care)

## Tools (2)

- `get_plant_care`: Retrieve the PetalPal care guide for an exact plant_id returned by search_plants: light, watering, temperature, feeding or flower food, first steps, daily care, FAQs and pet notes. Includes the original page, available references and editorial status. General reference, not photo identification or a diagnosis; never substitute cut-flower care for a rooted plant.
- `search_plants`: Find plants by name, common alias or plant ID across ten languages. Returns canonical plant IDs, category and care-page links. Cut flowers and rooted potted plants are separate entries. Use a returned plant_id with get_plant_care; if several plants fit, ask the user which one they have.
