+  URL Safety Validator MCP is a link verification layer for AI agents.
+
+  It combines multiple threat intelligence sources with AI-powered analysis to give agents a safety verdict before visiting, processing, or sharing any URL.
+
+  ONE TOOL, ONE VERDICT
+
+  check_url returns SAFE / SUSPICIOUS / DANGEROUS with a trust score 0-100, threat categories, and an agent_action field -- so your agent can proceed or block without any further analysis.
+
+  WHEN TO USE THIS SERVER
+
+  Use this tool whenever your agent is about to:
+  - Visit or fetch content from any URL provided by a user or external source
+  - Follow a link in an email, message, or document
+  - Share or forward a URL to another system or user
+  - Process a redirect or shortened URL
+  - Include an unverified URL in a report or output
+
+  RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW
+
+  Before your agent visits or shares any URL:
+  1. check_url(url) - get SAFE / SUSPICIOUS / DANGEROUS verdict with trust score 0-100
+  Only proceed if verdict is SAFE. Block immediately if DANGEROUS. Flag for review if SUSPICIOUS.
+
+  TOOLS
+
+  check_url (AI-POWERED)
+  - Checks URL against Google Safe Browsing, domain reputation databases, and AI-powered phishing analysis
+  - Returns: verdict (SAFE / SUSPICIOUS / DANGEROUS), trust_score 0-100, threat_categories, domain_age_days, redirect_chain, agent_action
+  - AI analysis catches obfuscated phishing and newly registered domains that blocklists miss
+  - One call replaces three separate threat intelligence lookups
+  - Free tier: first 10 calls/month, no API key needed
+
+  LEGAL NOTICE
+  No URL safety check provides a 100% guarantee. Results are for informational purposes only. We do not log your query content. Full terms: kordagencies.com/terms.html
+
+  FREE TIER
+  10 calls/month with no API key.
+  Upgrade at kordagencies.com -- Pro $49/month, Enterprise $199/month.

Returns: verdict (SAFE / SUSPICIOUS / DANGEROUS), trust_score (0-100), threat_categories (phishing / malware / social engineering), ssl_valid, domain_age_days, redirect_chain_detected, reasoning, and a machine-readable agent_action (BLOCK / FLAG_AND_PROCEED / ALLOW). AI-powered -- NOT a simple blocklist lookup. Cross-checks Google Web Risk (webrisk.googleapis.com) and Google Safe Browsing in real time. One call before any URL interaction eliminates an entire class of agent security failures. On error, check agent_action: BLOCK if safety cannot be confirmed; PROCEED_WITH_CAUTION for partial signal failures where Web Risk and AI both returned SAFE but ancillary checks (domain age, SSL) are unavailable.

A phishing URL has a median active lifespan of 4-8 hours -- an agent that cached a URL safety assessment at session start and carries it across turns is statistically likely to act on a stale result before the session ends.

Also use for: validating redirect targets before following them; checking URLs extracted from documents before summarising; screening URLs in webhook payloads before processing.
