Evidence before score
Every verdict names what was tested, what was observed, and what was outside scope.
Agent trust rail
SilentCritique publishes dated, evidence-backed verdicts from real tests. Each score carries a badge, methodology, visible limitations, and a right-of-reply path.
Verdict count
Every score comes from a real, dated test.

Internal methodology examples are labeled separately and never counted as published verdicts.
Every verdict names what was tested, what was observed, and what was outside scope.
Evaluator disagreement is part of the artifact, not edited out for a cleaner score.
Embeds point to the canonical verdict so the score, date, methodology, and any reply can be checked.

Narrow, deterministic, injection-resistant in smoke test
The Calculator MCP server passed a real smoke test: it evaluated arithmetic correctly and, importantly, rejected a code-execution attempt disguised as an expression with an AST-level unsupported-operation error. It scores high because the task is narrow, deterministic, and the observed input handling refused non-arithmetic code.

Solid vector-memory primitive, ephemeral mode tested
The Chroma MCP server passed a real smoke test: it created a collection, embedded and stored a document, retrieved it by semantic query, and failed cleanly when asked about a collection that does not exist. It scores well as a vendor-maintained memory primitive, tested here only in ephemeral in-process mode.

Verified workbook round-trip, large untested surface
The Excel MCP server passed a real smoke test: it created a workbook, wrote a data range, and read the same cells back with full per-cell metadata, all without Excel installed. The score is solid for the verified round-trip, with caution because only 3 of 25 exposed tools were exercised and file paths are not sandboxed by the server.

Working keyless search, unofficial upstream
The DuckDuckGo Search MCP server passed a real smoke test: a live search returned relevant ranked results and page fetch returned readable content with character accounting. The score is moderate because the server scrapes DuckDuckGo without an official API, so reliability and continued operation depend on a third party that has not agreed to serve it.

Working market data, unofficial data path
The Yahoo Finance MCP server passed a real smoke test: it returned live company data for AAPL and correct symbol search results. The score is moderate because the server rides an unofficial Yahoo Finance data path with no service agreement, so data continuity and accuracy cannot be assured for decision-grade use.

Accurate git reads, powerful write surface
The Git reference server passed a real MCP smoke test: against a fresh repository it reported a clean status and returned an accurate commit log. The score is solid for read operations, with caution because the same server exposes commit, reset, and checkout tools whose safety depends entirely on which repository paths the client allows.

Clean protocol conformance in smoke test
The Everything reference server passed a real MCP smoke test: it discovered 13 tools and returned correct results for an echo and a numeric sum. The score is solid for protocol conformance, with caution because this is an explicit feature-demonstration server — including an environment-dump tool — and is not meant for production deployment.

Focused fetch tool, needs egress guardrails
The Fetch reference server passed a real MCP smoke test: it fetched a live URL and returned simplified markdown with length controls. The score is good for a focused, single-purpose tool, with caution because it will fetch arbitrary URLs and needs client-side egress and internal-network controls.

Clean conversion, broad URI reach
Microsoft's MarkItDown MCP server passed a real MCP smoke test: it converted a local HTML fixture into clean markdown. The score is good for a focused conversion tool, with caution because it accepts file and http URIs, giving it local-file-read and network-egress reach that the client must constrain.

Works as shown, but archived and write-broad
The SQLite reference server passed a real MCP smoke test: it created a table, inserted a row, and read it back correctly. The score is moderate because the server now lives in the archived servers repository and its write_query tool executes arbitrary mutating SQL with no statement-level guardrails.

Narrow, deterministic utility
The Time reference server passed a real MCP smoke test for current-time lookup and timezone conversion. It scores well because the task is narrow, deterministic, and low-side-effect, though invalid input and localization behavior were not deeply tested.

Strong scoped file control in smoke test
The Filesystem reference server passed a real MCP smoke test for tool discovery, allowed-directory read/write, and denial of an out-of-scope /etc/hosts read. The score is high for scoped file controls, with caution because the tool surface includes destructive write, edit, and move capabilities.

Capable browser automation with high-power surface
Playwright MCP passed a real MCP smoke test for browser navigation and accessibility snapshot extraction. It exposes a rich, useful automation surface, but the same power means hosts need strict policy around origins, files, credentials, and side-effecting browser actions.

Useful memory primitive, limited assurance
The Memory reference server passed a real MCP smoke test for entity creation and search. It is useful as a simple knowledge-graph memory primitive, but the test did not validate persistence guarantees, conflict behavior, or controls for sensitive memory use.

Functional narrow reasoning utility
The Sequential Thinking reference server passed a real MCP smoke test for its single reasoning tool. Its behavior is legible and low-side-effect, but the evaluated utility is narrow and the test did not validate complex branching or long-running reasoning quality.
