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
AI reading of each description
No AI reading was available for this server's tools (the two runs did not agree, or the listing was not reviewed).
Counted from the listing
- Parameters with a description
- 100% of 260
- Tools with a description
- 100% of 60
- Typical description length
- 1,272 characters
The tool set
Counted from the listing
- Tools
- 60
- Size of the list
- about 44,202 tokens for an agent to load (characters ÷ 4)
- Naming
- 60 of 60 names use snake_case
AI reading: easy to mix up
No pair found.
The AI items cover 0 of 60 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, comparing tools within groups of 40. 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.
| Registry says | We found | Result | Source · date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remote endpoint mcp.helpcenter.io/agent | Session opened | matches | our test · 2026-11-03 |
| No credential declared as required | Opened a session without any credential | matches | our test · 2026-11-03 |

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. It is not a safety rating, and the same rules apply to every server. How each check works · Leaderboards · How we stay neutral
Common questions about io.helpcenter/agent
Answered from the data aboveWho publishes io.helpcenter/agent?
The registry ties the namespace io.helpcenter to the domain helpcenter.io; only its owner can publish under it. These are facts from the registry and GitHub, not a rating.
Does io.helpcenter/agent 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 io.helpcenter/agent 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.
