/webmcp-kit:verify
Reference for /webmcp-kit:verify — check that a running site's WebMCP tools register and execute correctly.
Checks that a locally running site’s WebMCP tools actually work: registered on the right pages, absent where they shouldn’t be, and returning real results when called.
/webmcp-kit:verify [base URL]
Example:
/webmcp-kit:verify http://localhost:3000
It runs standalone, and it is the same ladder the implement skill runs as its final phase.
Before you start
- The site must be running locally (its own dev script or runbook).
- WebMCP must be active in the browser — see Browser setup.
The ladder
Each rung must hold before the next runs:
- Boot. The site starts and the baseline page renders with no new console errors.
- Discover. On each declared page and auth state, list the registered tools. Each tool must appear where declared, be absent where it shouldn’t be (logged-out account tools, wrong-role tools), and unregister on its declared exits (empty cart, logout).
- Invoke read-only. Call read-only tools with sample inputs; check both the returned data and the visible effect on the page.
- Invoke state-changing. Only against local, dev, or seeded data, and only with an explicit go-ahead. Never against production or third-party services. No safe way to invoke → the tool is reported could-not-verify, not fired blindly.
The report
One state per tool, printed as a table:
| State | Meaning | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| verified | Registered and invoked as declared. | Ships. |
| failed | Didn’t register, or errored. | Fixed or dropped — never ships broken. |
| could-not-verify | Plausible but unproven (no browser, no safe invocation path). | Ships, explicitly flagged. |
