🔏 Signed receipt rr_5206eca3f95988ba6ba1c750 · 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.

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.

What kind of tools these are derived

Verification only means something relative to a tool's NATURE — an email-sender has no "true answer", a generator has no answer key. Classification evidence: classified from tool names/descriptions/annotations WE OBSERVED. What checking applies to each kind (the full methodology →):

naturetoolsmeaning what checking applies
retrieval-public7serves public factstruth-checkable against a public source — the V-ladder applies in full
orchestration2routes other toolsidentity + fronted-service disclosure checks (gateway vs costume)
predictive1claims about the futurescoreable only in retrospect — the archive scores yesterday's predictions against today's outcome

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 B — usable, with rough edges.

legibility checktools passingok
name is clear & specific10/10
has a description10/10
description is substantive10/10
parameters are typed10/10
parameters are described0/100/10

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.
