check_reliability
Check reliability ratings for APIs and MCP servers using independent synthetic probes and crowdsourced telemetry to assess uptime, latency, and error rates before committing to a service.
Instructions
Look up the independent reliability rating for an API or MCP server. Like checking a restaurant's reviews before booking — see the real uptime, latency, error rate, and community experience before you commit to a service.
Returns a trust score (0-100), current operational status, trend direction, and any known issues. Scores are based on independent synthetic probes and crowdsourced telemetry from real agent traffic — not vendor self-reporting.
Args: service: Service slug (e.g., 'stripe-mcp', 'openai-api') or partial name metrics: Optional list of specific metrics to include: 'uptime', 'latency', 'reliability', 'maintenance', 'community'
