Can I use the PSS-10 Stress Assessment MCP for employee surveys?
Yes, it's great for HR well-being programs. Your agent can process survey responses, ensuring they are valid and correctly scored, giving you a clear picture of stress levels across a team.
Does the PSS-10 Stress Assessment MCP handle reverse scoring?
Yes, that's one of its main jobs. The capability automatically applies the correct scoring rules to specific questions so you don't have to do any manual math or worry about errors.
Is the PSS-10 Stress Assessment MCP good for quick screenings?
It's perfect for rapid assessments. Since the AI handles the math and validation, you can get a Low, Moderate, or High stress classification almost instantly after the user finishes the questions.
What happens if a user gives an invalid answer in the PSS-10 Stress Assessment MCP?
The Connector will catch it. Your agent will use the validation capability to notice if an answer is out of range or if a question was skipped, and then it can ask the user to correct it before finishing the score.
How do I get the official questions for the PSS-10 scale?
You can just ask your AI client to fetch them. The Connector has a specific capability to pull the standard 10 questions so you don't have to copy and paste them from a PDF or website.
What is the PSS-10?
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is a widely used psychological instrument designed to measure the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful.
How do I use the `calculate_stress_score` capability?
Provide a JSON object containing the 10 response items (e.g., 'item_1': 3) to the responses parameter. The capability will automatically handle reverse scoring and return your total score and stress level.
What are the valid response values?
All responses must be integers between 0 and 4, where 0 means 'Never' and 4 means 'Very Often'.
