  • check_anomalyCheck if observed behavior from an MCP server is anomalous compared to baselines.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Check if observed behavior from an MCP server is anomalous compared to baselines. Use this when a server seems slow, unreliable, or returns unexpected results. Returns whether the behavior deviates significantly from normal patterns.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Check Anomaly
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • clawhub_skill_trustCheck the supply-chain trust of a ClawHub (OpenClaw) skill BEFORE installing or invoking it.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Check the supply-chain trust of a ClawHub (OpenClaw) skill BEFORE installing or invoking it. After the Feb-2026 ClawHavoc supply-chain attack, third-party skills can carry malware. Returns a PASS/UNCERTAIN/FAIL badge and 0-100 score aggregating ClawHub's published security scan (VirusTotal + model), moderation verdict, and provenance. Malicious/suspicious/blocked => FAIL; unscanned => UNCERTAIN.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Run a PRE-FLIGHT due-diligence check on an MCP server BEFORE your agent invokes it. Returns a verdict (PASS/UNCERTAIN/FAIL/UNRATED) plus a SIGNED, timestamped diligence receipt you keep as proof you performed a trust check — the standard of care after the ClawHavoc/Miasma supply-chain attacks. Call this before connecting to or invoking any unfamiliar MCP server.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Report the outcome of calling an MCP server. Call this AFTER you use any MCP server to contribute to the trust network. Your report helps other agents make better decisions. This is free and takes <1ms.

    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Cryptographically verify a Dominion signed attestation (JWS) — e.g. a trust-verdict receipt, gateway attestation, or MCP Verified badge. Stateless: checks the Ed25519 signature against Dominion's published public key (no trust in this server required). Use this to confirm a receipt another party gave you is authentic and untampered.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Run a signed pre-invocation verification immediately before an agent sends money, credentials, private data, or write access to an MCP server. The first 3 verifications per agent are free. After that, authenticate the MCP HTTP request with Authorization: Bearer do_<api_key> for Stripe metering ($0.01/call), or call once without payment to receive x402 instructions and retry with payment_tx. Returns PASS/UNCERTAIN/FAIL/UNRATED, evidence freshness, recommendation, and a signed diligence receipt.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the trust score and reliability metrics for any MCP server. Use this BEFORE calling an unknown MCP server to assess if it's reliable. Returns trust_score (0-100), latency stats, uptime, success rate, and how many agents have used it. Scores above 70 indicate reliable servers. Scores below 30 indicate risky servers.

    • The name "get_baselines" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get behavioral baselines for a tool category. Shows what 'normal' looks like — average latency, success rates, typical call patterns. Use this to evaluate whether a specific server's performance is within normal range for its category.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the PREMIUM behavioral trust verdict for an MCP server, with a signed, citable, tamper-evident attestation receipt. This is a paid x402 service: call WITHOUT payment_tx to receive payment instructions (0.001 USDC on Base), pay, then call again WITH the payment_tx (transaction hash, single-use) to receive the full verdict + receipt. The free check_trust tool remains available for basic scores.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
