## Tools

15 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.

- `alphaportal_list_requests` — List the transportation requests submitted on this account, with tracking numbers and status.
- `alphaportal_session_status` — Check whether the server can authenticate to AlphaPortal: it resolves the refresh token (from ALPHAPORTAL_REFRESH_TOKEN, the saved session, or a signed-in brows
- `alphaportal_list_students` — List the students (children) on the signed-in account, with grade, school, and transportation flags. Start here to get each studentId.

- `alphaportal_edit_walk_radius` — Set a student's walk-zone radius, in meters. This can affect transportation eligibility, so it is confirm-gated: without confirm:true it returns a dry-run of th
- `alphaportal_set_notification` — Set a student's transportation notification preferences (push/email, per AM/PM run) across the categories the district enables: stopRadiusEntry, studentScan, ba

## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"alphaportal\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"alphaportal-mcp\"\n      ],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"ALPHAPORTAL_REFRESH_TOKEN\": \"<YOUR_ALPHAPORTAL_REFRESH_TOKEN>\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}"
```
**Credentials it will ask for** (names only — Forge never holds a value):
- `ALPHAPORTAL_REFRESH_TOKEN` — Alphaportal Refresh Token (optional)
Placeholders only. Forge never holds, brokers, or transmits a credential value — replace each <YOUR_NAME> in your own config file. Do not send a value back to Forge; no Forge endpoint accepts one.
- This entry needs 1 credential (0 required). The generated config carries placeholders, so it will fail in the editor rather than at runtime if they are left unset.

## Blast radius

Extensive blast radius — mutates data; holds an oauth grant.
- Floor 51, ceiling 51 (tier: extensive)
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
