Tool list size
14,959 tokens on Claude Opus 5.5
Added to every request that loads this server's tools (36 tools). Counted with Anthropic's token counter on 2026-11-03, from the tool list we read on 2026-11-03. Median across 25,738 counted servers: 2,858 tokens. How it is counted

Read from the server's public metadata on 2026-11-03 (mcp.askonhand.com), in our read-only connection; no tool was called. It may have changed since. How it is read

Not sent yet for this version (1.0.0).
Observed fact
This server accepted a session without any credential and lists 9 tools whose name or declaration suggests they change data (update_company_profile, confirm_update_company_profile, update_hours, confirm_update_hours, confirm_booking and 4 more). That is our reading of the names; we did not call them. Source: our connection, 2026-11-03.

Dead or stale signals
None found in the records we hold
Looked for and not found: deprecated in the registry. Does not apply: listed version cannot be installed or is withdrawn; repository link does not open; repository archived; no push in over 365 days. Each line is a dated fact from a public record. It does not say whether the server still works, and a record can change after the date shown.
Changes since the last refresh
New in the registry: not in the list of 2026-11-02, listed on 2026-11-03 with version 1.0.0 (published 2026-11-02).

Each quoted sentence is the first sentence of the publisher’s own description. The kind of tool and the “changes data” mark are our AI model’s reading of that description, not something we tested: two differently worded runs had to agree, otherwise no label is shown, and nobody has checked them by hand. A tool without the “changes data” mark is described as only reading, searching or calculating, or the two runs did not agree. No tool was called. Read the publisher’s full description before relying on it. “Publisher declares” lists the hints the server itself sends with the tool (MCP annotations: read-only, destructive, idempotent, open-world); they are the publisher's claims, not checked by us. Inputs are the parameters in the tool's own input schema: name, declared type, whether it is required, and the first sentence of its description. Read 2026-11-03.
How well are its tools described?
Features #4 and #5
How clearly this server's own tool descriptions say what a tool does, and how consistent its tool list is. The first part is an AI model's yes/no reading of each description; the second part is counted. We do not turn it into a grade.
Descriptions

No AI reading was available for this server's tools (the two runs did not agree, or the listing was not reviewed).

- Size of the list
- about 9,848 tokens for an agent to load (characters ÷ 4)
- Naming
- 36 of 36 names use snake_case
AI reading: easy to mix up
No pair found.
The AI items cover 0 of 36 tools: for a tool where two differently worded runs disagreed, that item is left out. They were not checked by hand, and no tool was called. “Easy to mix up” means two tools whose names or descriptions overlap without saying how they differ; the AI found none. We do not rate whether the tool set is complete or whether side effects are spelled out, because our AI reading of those was not reliable enough.

- The server runs on the operator's infrastructure; it may ask you to sign in when you first connect.
- Zed's docs we read on 2026-10-26 describe remote servers by URL and do not name the transport.
- The MCP Inspector lists the server's tools, resources and prompts; a tool you call there runs for real.

Values in < > are yours to fill in; this page never contains a key. Where the server needs a setting the entry does not declare, it can still fail to start.
Does the registry listing match what we found?
Feature #6The registry checks an entry when it is published (each new version), and nothing re-checks it on a schedule. A difference below is about the listing, not a judgement of the publisher.

Read from public records only: the registry entry, npm/PyPI, GitHub and advisory databases, checked 2026-11-03. No tool was called. Only “met” and “not met” are counted, so the total differs between servers; a check that does not apply or that we could not run is listed, never counted against it.

Common questions about com.askonhand/onhand
Answered from the data aboveWho publishes com.askonhand/onhand?
The registry ties the namespace com.askonhand to the domain askonhand.com; only its owner can publish under it. These are facts from the registry and GitHub, not a rating.
Does com.askonhand/onhand need an API key or sign-in?
It opened a session without any credential on 2026-11-03. The registry entry declares no required credential; no declaration is not a guarantee.
Has com.askonhand/onhand been security tested?
Partly. 3 of the 15 checks that apply to it were exercised. It accepted a session without any credential and lists tools whose names suggest they change data. We did not call them. ProtocolProbe publishes no security verdict for a named server.

Reference
How is it classified?
18 fields
One value per field, each with its source. Fields written by AI models are marked. A field with no value says why.
“Not stated” means the source did not state it; “does not apply” means it does not apply to this kind of server; “our limit” means our own lookup failed. A linked value opens the directory filtered to the same value.
