**An agent can connect on its own if it already holds `ARGUS_TOKEN`.** Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

## Connection (mcpServers)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "argus": {
      "type": "http",

      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${ARGUS_TOKEN}"
      }

```

Placeholders to fill: `${ARGUS_TOKEN}`.

## Quality 73/100 (new)

### 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: get_provider (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_advisories (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_cost_accuracy (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 555 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

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

- n/a `stability.changes`, `stability.rug_pull`: tool history recorded for 1 of the 7 days needed

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

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

- tools: 10, about 555 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: d697f27c00219722b028b27e5537203b
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/town.argus/argus.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/town.argus/argus)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (10)

- `connect_provider`: Connect a provider to THIS project with a credential. Validates the credential against the provider before storing it (encrypted), then queues the initial sync. Args: provider (id from list_available_providers), secret (the provider API key), credential_type (optional), label (optional). Only pass secrets your operator gave you for this purpose.
- `get_advisories`: All current advisories (top-up, upgrade, near-limit, spend-spike) across providers.
- `get_cost_accuracy`: Cost-accuracy state per provider: whether itemized costs are exact, estimated, or unreconciled, with the drift % between Argus's itemized total and the provider's own reported spend.
- `get_overview`: Cross-provider rollup: balance, burn rate, days-to-zero, month-to-date spend, projection, rate-limit headroom.
- `get_provider`: Full metrics + rate-limit snapshots for one connection id.
- `get_rate_limit_status`: Latest rate-limit headroom and error rate across the org's providers.
- `get_request_costs`: Recent itemized per-request costs for a provider (model, tokens, cost in USD, provenance). Args: provider (string), limit (number, default 25, max 100).
- `list_available_providers`: Providers that can be connected with an API key (poll plane). Anything else can still be tracked by sending telemetry — see https://argus.town/docs/ingest.
- `list_connections`: List the org's connected providers and status.
- `sync_connection`: Queue an immediate balance/usage/plan refresh for one connection. Args: connection_id.
