## Quality 86/100 (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: 88 (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`: 4 of 4 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: check_grid_connection (destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_planning_history (destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); estimate_bng_income (destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 585 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`: 4 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)

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

- tools: 4, about 585 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: a2bad982e64de3400e138a39635d6c6c
- tools last changed: 2026-10-28T04:47:39.792Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/uk.landbng/landbng.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/uk.landbng/landbng)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-28 `estimate_bng_cost` changed (title, annotations)
- 2026-10-28 `estimate_bng_income` changed (title, description, annotations)
  - before: Estimate 30-year lump-sum BNG income (LOW/MID/HIGH) for dedicating `area_ha` hectares of an England parcel to biodiversity net gain habitat creation, from LandBNG planning assumptions per habitat capped at the Defra statutory credit price; local factors (flood zone, SSSI, Green Belt, NSIP demand, Ancient Woodland, AONB, Agricultural Land Class) are listed, not priced. England only. Free, no key.
  - after: Estimate 30-year lump-sum BNG income (LOW/MID/HIGH) for dedicating `area_ha` hectares of an England parcel to biodiversity net gain habitat creation, from LandBNG planning assumptions per habitat capped at the Defra statutory credit price; local factors (flood zone, SSSI, Green Belt, Ancient Woodland, AONB, Agricultural Land Class, nearby NSIP projects and how many fall under mandatory BNG) are listed, not priced. England only. Free, no key.
- 2026-10-28 `check_planning_history` changed (title, annotations)
- 2026-10-28 `check_grid_connection` changed (title, description, annotations)
  - before: Check nearest UK electricity Distribution Network Operator (DNO) grid connection headroom for a location — generation/demand headroom (MW/MVA), RAG status, voltage, and a combined BNG+grid siting signal. Covers all of Great Britain (England/Scotland/Wales), not just England. Free, no key.

## Packages

## Tools (4)

- `check_grid_connection`: Check nearest UK electricity Distribution Network Operator (DNO) grid
connection headroom for a location: generation/demand headroom (MW/MVA),
RAG status, voltage, and a combined BNG+grid siting signal. Covers all of
Great Britain (England/Scotland/Wales), not just England. Free, no key.
- `check_planning_history`: Find planning applications near a UK location, via UK PlanIt's public
aggregator (over 400 UK planning authorities). Free, no key. radius_km must be
between 0.1 and 5.0.
- `estimate_bng_cost`: Estimate the cost of meeting England's mandatory 10% biodiversity net
gain requirement for a development scheme of `scheme_ha` hectares, across
3 procurement routes (off-site habitat bank mosaic, off-site grassland/
heathland, statutory biodiversity credits, priced per unit at two Defra
credits per unit), and the units to buy from a gain site in the same, a
neighbouring or a further authority (spatial risk multiplier 1.0 / 0.75 /
0.5, with this point's authority names). land_type: brownfield /
arable / improved / semi_improved / mixed. England only. Free, no key.
- `estimate_bng_income`: Estimate 30-year lump-sum BNG income (LOW/MID/HIGH) for dedicating
`area_ha` hectares of an England parcel to biodiversity net gain habitat
creation, from LandBNG planning assumptions per habitat capped at the
Defra statutory credit price; local factors (flood zone, SSSI, Green Belt,
Ancient Woodland, AONB, Agricultural Land Class, nearby NSIP projects and
how many fall under mandatory BNG) are listed, not priced. England only.
Free, no key.
