  • delete_assetSTOP monitoring one of YOUR assets and remove it, by its asset id (from list_my_assets).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "delete_asset" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
    • The description says "irreversible".
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
    Description, as the server wrote it
    STOP monitoring one of YOUR assets and remove it, by its asset id (from list_my_assets). This is irreversible — its check history goes too. Requires an API key with write scope.

  • acknowledge_alertAcknowledge one of YOUR alerts by its alert id (from list_my_alerts) — marks it as seen/being-handled without resolving 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.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Acknowledge one of YOUR alerts by its alert id (from list_my_alerts) — marks it as seen/being-handled without resolving it. Optionally attach a note. Requires an API key with write scope.

    Annotations the server declares

    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
    Score how ready a website is for AI agents and answer engines. Fetches /llms.txt, /robots.txt, and the homepage and returns a letter grade with per-signal findings. No browser rendering or LLM call — deterministic HTTP/parse.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
  • check_domain_healthCheck the live SSL/TLS certificate (validity + expiry + issuer), DNS records (A/AAAA/MX/NS resolution), and domain-registration (RDAP) expiry of any public hostname.No findings

    • 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 live SSL/TLS certificate (validity + expiry + issuer), DNS records (A/AAAA/MX/NS resolution), and domain-registration (RDAP) expiry of any public hostname. Each leg fails soft and is reported independently.

    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Check whether a domain or IP is listed on the major DNS blocklists (DNSBLs) that mail providers consult before accepting mail — the usual reason legitimate mail silently lands in spam. Returns each zone checked, whether it is listed, and the return code. Deterministic DNS lookups, no LLM.

    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
    Health-check a live MCP (Model Context Protocol) server by URL: performs a real JSON-RPC initialize handshake, then tools/list, and returns whether it is up/degraded/down, its protocol version, server name/version, the callable tool/resource/prompt inventory, transport, and handshake latency. Deterministic — no LLM. Use it to verify your own MCP server is alive and spec-compliant.
