Password Strength Scoring for AI Agents

Overview

Password Strength works by analyzing the password provided — its length, character-set composition, and weak patterns like sequential or repeated characters. It returns a strength label, score, theoretical charset entropy and actionable recommendations. The password is never stored or returned.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveContext server, this appears in its tool list as PasswordStrengthScoringforAIAgents. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call

{
  "name": "PasswordStrengthScoringforAIAgents",
  "arguments": {
    "password": "Password123"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about Password123 in the terms this source covers is enough for it to reach for PasswordStrengthScoringforAIAgents on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.

Connecting

One server URL covers every source in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervecontext": {
      "url": "https://api.vervecontext.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Argument	Type	Description
`password`Required	string	The password to check the strength of

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Result

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "strength": "weak",
    "score": 1,
    "passwordInfo": {
      "length": 11,
      "hasSpecialCharacters": false,
      "hasNumbers": true,
      "hasLowercase": true,
      "hasUppercase": true,
      "hasSpaces": false,
      "hasSequentialChars": true,
      "hasRepeatedChars": false
    },
    "recommendations": [
      "Use at least 12 characters",
      "Add special characters",
      "Avoid sequential characters (e.g. abc, 123)"
    ],
    "entropyBits": 65.5
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`strength`	string	`weak`	Strength label: too weak, weak, medium or strong
`score`	number	`1`	Numeric strength score (0-3, higher is stronger)
`passwordInfo`	object	`{…}`	Character composition of the password: length and which character classes and patterns it contains
`passwordInfo.length`	number	`11`	Number of characters in the password
`passwordInfo.hasSpecialCharacters`	boolean	`false`	Whether the password contains special characters
`passwordInfo.hasNumbers`	boolean	`true`	Whether the password contains numbers
`passwordInfo.hasLowercase`	boolean	`true`	Whether the password contains lowercase letters
`passwordInfo.hasUppercase`	boolean	`true`	Whether the password contains uppercase letters
`passwordInfo.hasSpaces`	boolean	`false`	Whether the password contains spaces
`passwordInfo.hasSequentialChars`	boolean	`true`	Whether the password contains a run of 3+ sequential characters (e.g. abc, 123)
`passwordInfo.hasRepeatedChars`	boolean	`false`	Whether the password repeats the same character 3+ times in a row (e.g. aaa)
`recommendations`Premium	array	`["Use at least 12 characters","Add special characters","Avoid sequential characters (e.g. abc, 123)"]`	List of recommendations to improve password strength
`entropyBits`Premium	number	`65.5`	Theoretical charset entropy in bits (length times log2 of the character-set size). This is the ceiling assuming random character selection; it does not account for dictionary words or common patterns, so use the strength/score for real-world guidance

Why ground on it

A model can produce something that looks like this answer from its training data, and be confidently out of date or simply wrong. This source returns the current value in a shape you can check, which is the difference between an answer you can cite and one you have to hedge.

Point an evaluation at strength: it is the field most worth pinning a claim to, and it is either present and current or absent — never plausibly invented.

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

Status	What it means
`400` / `422`	The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
`401`	The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
`403`	Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
`404`	This source is not part of VerveContext. Check the catalog.
`429`	Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Use cases

Registration Form Validation: Flag low strength scores during user registration to block predictable credentials before storing new customer profiles.
Password Reset Verification: When employees reset their workstation credentials, verify the input avoids repeated characters and sequential patterns before approving the change.
Banking Portal Onboarding: Fintech apps evaluate customer passphrases during setup, requiring a strong rating and varied character classes before activating account access.
Credential Policy Enforcement: To enforce corporate security standards, identity services check character class flags and minimum score levels across legacy user databases.
