Dependency rating derived
Cluster mid-solo · distinctiveness 0.135 (typical). Every figure is a percentile or class within the 11,094-server census — see the whole spectrum.
🔏 Signed receipt rr_f89e5e6accbd74459f831507 · ed25519 · key rs-rcpt-2026-08 — this rating is tamper-evident; an agent gets the full signature from check_server and can verify it against the published key.
Tools last seen
Harness readiness observed
Can an agent's harness pick this tool and call it correctly? Graded on the three things an agent reads — name, description, typed parameters. Band A — an agent can pick and call these reliably.

10 of 10 tools graded · 10 with a captured input schema. RS-008, Tier-1 — no domain knowledge, applies to any tool. “Alive” is not the same as “usable”.
Truth checks observed
Not in the Tier-2 trade lane, or not yet checked. Tier-2 re-derives a server's answers against published primary sources — see truth checks.
Protocol conformance observed
Capabilities: tools
Drift
No confirmed drift on record. Baseline set 2026-08-14; changes appear here after human review.
History observed
Every probe we made, oldest → newest (2 shown, 2026-08-12 → 2026-08-14). Green answered · amber answered-but-walled · red no useful answer. A gap in our cadence is a gap in coverage, not evidence about the server.
