Call this server's tools from your browser. Nothing to install.
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

Read-only decision.v1 for one category and a declared context: constraint applicability first, then EVIDENCE or ABSTAIN with a stable reason_code (answer_rule.v3). An abstention removes the verdict only; evidence, reservations and gaps stay. Never a rank on overlapping intervals. Replay and attestation verdicts are as of the last build.
