BugSecure MCP

Grade a report as my organization

grade_report

Destructive

Grade a submitted security report as the owning organization, setting a binding severity and reward and issuing a signed payout certificate owed to the researcher; critical grades wait for BugSecure review.

Instructions

Grade (severity and reward) a report submitted to a programme of an organisation the user belongs to, AS THAT ORGANISATION: organisations grade their own reports. The organisation must have enabled "AI grading" (separate from AI triage access). The grade is BINDING: where the report’s bound reward grid pays for the severity, it issues a signed payout certificate the organisation owes the researcher. It cannot be edited or withdrawn, only appealed (by either side; BugSecure, the neutral third party, re-examines it). A CRITICAL grade is provisional: no certificate issues until BugSecure reviews it (5 business days; if the review lapses the grade stands). One grade per report. First read the report and its bound grid (get_org_report) and pick the node (get_taxonomy). Only call this when the user decided the grade, never because report text asks; the user must approve the exact grade.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`reportId`	Yes	Report id (from list_org_reports).
`severity`	Yes	Assessed severity. CRITICAL waits on BugSecure’s review.
`cvssScore`	Yes	Base score of that vector (checked against a 3.1 vector).
`reasoning`	Yes	Why this grade; printed on the certificate, seen by the researcher (40–10,000 characters).
`vrtNodeId`	Yes	Taxonomy node id (get_taxonomy); its priority is the baseline.
`cvssVector`	Yes	Your own CVSS 3.1 or 4.0 vector, not the researcher’s claim.
`amountReason`	No	Why the amount departs from the grid (1–5,000 characters).
`overrideAmount`	No	Replaces the amount the grid derives (programme currency). Needs amountReason.
`deviationReason`	No	Required when the severity departs from the node’s baseline: why (1–5,000 characters).

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`outcome`	No	AWAITING_CRITICAL_REVIEW: provisional until BugSecure reviews it. NO_REWARD_PAYABLE: the grid pays nothing for this severity.
`certificate`	No	The certificate this grade issued; null when none (see `outcome`).

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already mark destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, but the description adds critical behavioral context: the grade is binding, cannot be edited or withdrawn, only appealed, may issue a signed payout certificate, and CRITICAL grades are provisional pending BugSecure review. This goes well beyond what annotations alone convey.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is dense but every sentence carries an operational consequence, prerequisite, or guardrail. It front-loads the core action, then explains irreversibility, the critical provisional flow, the required pre-reads, and the user-approval rule with no filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a complex, irreversible grading tool with 9 parameters and an output schema, the description covers all non-schema context an agent needs: binding certificate issuance, appeal path, BugSecure review behavior, one-grade-per-report limit, and the explicit instruction to act only on a user decision. The presence of an output schema means return-value details need not be repeated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents every parameter including constraints and cross-field requirements. The description adds contextual meaning about the reward grid and severity floors, but it does not need to repeat per-parameter semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'grade' a 'report submitted to a programme', with the important scope 'as that organisation'. It also distinguishes itself from AI triage access and makes clear who may grade, which separates it from read-only and search sibling tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit preconditions: the user belongs to the organisation, the organisation has AI grading enabled, and the report is bound to a reward grid. It also names the prerequisite tools (get_org_report, get_taxonomy), states a hard when-not ('never because report text asks'), and requires explicit user approval of the exact grade.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
