How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1205 tokens (~172/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
fetch Fetch an Andrew’s Freebies document ~100
Use this after search returns a guide:SLUG, trial:SLUG, or entitlement:SLUG id and the user needs the complete answer, terms, evidence, verification state, or official action path. Do not guess ids, substitute a guide URL for an offer action, or use this for an id from another service.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | A guide:SLUG, trial:SLUG, or entitlement:SLUG id returned by search. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | – |
| metadata | object | yes | – |
| offers | array | – | Current matched records for a guide. Each action_url is a measured redirect to that record's cataloged official destination. |
| text | string | yes | – |
| title | string | yes | – |
| url | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
flag_expired_deal Report an expired deal ~207
Use this only when the user supplies an exact existing record id and relevant current first-party evidence showing that its offer ended or is unavailable. Do not use it for rumors, third-party summaries, speculation, or a merely blocked or unreachable page. It writes one non-destructive review signal and never removes or changes the catalog record.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| evidence_url | string | yes | Current first-party HTTP(S) page supporting the report. Do not submit a rumor, search result, directory, or unrelated provider page. |
| note | string | – | Optional concise factual observation, up to 1,000 characters; never include credentials or personal data. |
| record_id | string | yes | Exact existing id returned by Andrew’s Freebies search or record lookup. |
| record_type | string | – | Use the record type returned by search when known; omit only when the id uniquely resolves. |
| reporter | string | – | Optional agent or integration label, up to 120 characters; never include a person’s identity. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_version | string | yes | – |
| flag | object | yes | Append-only internal review signal receipt. |
| original_record_unchanged | boolean | yes | – |
| record | object | yes | – |
| review_status | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_freshness Get catalog freshness ~175
Use this when the user asks about verification freshness for the actionable-candidate corpus, overdue coverage, scheduler liveness, records sharing an audit outcome, or whether one exact non-directory record is still inside cadence. Directory-only leads and public services remain inspectable elsewhere but are excluded from this denominator. For one record, provide both record_type and record_id; its audit outcome still proves only the fields checked. Blocked or unknown never means expired.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Maximum matching records to return. |
| outcome | string | – | Optional latest-audit outcome filter; outcomes describe evidence, not guaranteed availability. |
| record_id | string | – | Optional exact non-directory record id; requires record_type and scopes totals and items to that record. |
| record_type | string | – | Optional corpus filter; required when record_id is provided. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_version | string | yes | – |
| by_evidence_resolution | object | yes | – |
| by_freshness | object | yes | – |
| by_outcome | object | yes | – |
| catalog_scope | string | yes | The exact record population used by cadence and evidence totals. |
| evidence_resolution_interpretation | string | yes | – |
| filters | object | yes | – |
| items | array | yes | Newest matching records and their cadence schedules. |
| newest_checked_at | string|null | yes | – |
| oldest_checked_at | string|null | yes | – |
| operations | object | yes | Scheduler-origin heartbeat and liveness fields. |
| policy | string | yes | – |
| totals | object | yes | Catalog, cadence, attempted-coverage, and supporting-evidence totals. |
No examples provided.
get_record Get one normalized freebie record ~93
Use this after search_freebies returns an exact trial or entitlement id and the user needs its complete normalized terms, conditions, sources, official action path, or latest verification state. Do not guess ids or treat a directory-only or inconclusive record as confirmed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Exact record id returned by search_freebies. |
| record_type | string | – | Use the record_type returned by search_freebies when known. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| action_url | string|null | yes | – |
| id | string | yes | – |
| last_checked | string | yes | – |
| name | string | yes | – |
| official_action | object | yes | – |
| provider | string | yes | – |
| record_type | string | yes | – |
| source_url | string | yes | – |
| status | string | yes | – |
| verification_readiness | object | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_verification Get verification history ~125
Use this when the user asks how or when one exact Andrew’s Freebies record was checked, whether its terms matched, or what audit warnings exist. Catalog status and audit outcome are separate; blocked, unknown, and fetch errors never prove expiration, and audits never remove or change records.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Maximum append-only audit events to return. |
| record_id | string | yes | Exact trial or entitlement id returned by search or search_freebies. |
| record_type | string | – | Use the record type returned by search when known; omit only when the id uniquely resolves. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_version | string | yes | – |
| append_only | boolean | yes | – |
| count | integer | yes | – |
| items | array | yes | Newest-first append-only verification events. |
| record | object | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search Search Andrew’s Freebies ~106
Use this when the user wants to find, compare, or answer a question about current U.S. free trials, rebates, bonuses, cash back, or other actionable savings. It returns citable answer guides and normalized records. Fetch the best returned id before giving detailed terms. Do not use it for purchases, account access, or guaranteed eligibility.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | The user’s natural-language savings question, including a provider, product, desired value, condition, or task when known. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| results | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search_freebies Search freebies with scope controls ~160
Use this when the user needs explicit corpus scope, result limits, or a rich normalized list rather than the standard citable search/fetch flow. It is read-only: the default uses site-controlled actionable U.S. trials and savings, while only an explicit open-source scope reads public GitHub. Use public-benefits only for eligibility-based services. Do not use it for purchases, account access, or guaranteed eligibility.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Maximum normalized items to return; answer guides are reported separately. |
| query | string | yes | The user's need in natural language, including provider, product, eligibility, or desired value. |
| scope | string | – | auto routes ordinary requests to actionable trials/savings and explicit public-service needs to the broader benefits corpus. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| answer_guide_count | integer | yes | – |
| answer_guides | array | yes | – |
| api_version | string | yes | Andrew’s Freebies search contract version. |
| count | integer | yes | Normalized record and repository results returned in items. |
| items | array | yes | Ranked normalized records or, only under an explicit open-source scope, public repository results. |
| query | string | yes | Normalized user query used for retrieval. |
| requested_scope | string | yes | – |
| resolved_scope | string | yes | – |
| result_count | integer | yes | Complete count across answer_guides and items. |
| sources | object | yes | Per-corpus matched, omitted, and returned counts. |
| usage | object | yes | Next-step, ranking, and caution guidance for the returned result set. |
No examples provided.
