## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-22.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 12 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 79/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1215 tokens (~101/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 85/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 54% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (12)

### `search_tools` (~124 tokens)

Run one natural-language search across curated Andrew’s Freebies offers and live, licensed public GitHub repositories. Returns one ranked result list with result_type and result_source provenance. GitHub results are source-code discovery, not proof that hosted operation is free.

Input parameters:

- `card` (string)
- `category` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `offer_type` (string)
- `query` (string, required): What the user needs, such as 'edit PDF files', 'learn Spanish', or 'self-hosted password manager'.
- `status` (string)

### `get_trial` (~36 tokens)

Get normalized terms and every captured evidence URL for one Andrew’s Freebies record.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Trial record id/slug.

### `search_entitlements` (~217 tokens)

Search cash back, coupons, bonuses, rebates, credits, loyalty perks, public services, and access programs by a person's need or qualifying relationship. Use focus=redeemable-value for economically redeemable results; use list_categories for complete type and cost definitions.

Input parameters:

- `cost_basis` (string): Financial condition attached to access. 'varies' means provider- or eligibility-dependent, not universally free; inspect fees and requirements.
- `focus` (string): Use redeemable-value for cash, statement credits, bonuses, shopping rewards, coupons, rebates, tax credits, and loyalty perks; omit for the full public-service corpus.
- `kind` (string): Primary record archetype. Fetch list_categories for definitions, inclusions, exclusions, and agent instructions.
- `limit` (integer)
- `personalized` (string)
- `query` (string, required): A relationship or need, such as 'Bank of America cash back', '$500 checking bonus', 'Medicare gym', or 'library audiobooks'.
- `status` (string)

### `get_entitlement` (~46 tokens)

Get one entitlement's benefit, qualifying relationship, requirements, activation path, fees, geography, personalization flag, and evidence.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Entitlement record id/slug.

### `list_categories` (~36 tokens)

List trial categories plus the complete entitlement taxonomy, including definitions, inclusions, exclusions, cost semantics, agent instructions, and canonical record counts.

### `list_sources` (~26 tokens)

Inspect crawl coverage, raw source counts, deduplication totals, and known source limitations.

### `get_public_service_coverage` (~31 tokens)

Inspect measurable national, state, and major-city public-service coverage, family gaps, and quality gates.

### `get_aggregate_stats` (~43 tokens)

Get citation-ready, date-stamped aggregate facts about trial duration, card requirements, evidence quality, bonuses, cash back, rebates, library benefits, and public programs.

### `list_answer_guides` (~37 tokens)

List the human- and agent-readable question guides, their recommended agent behavior, example query, update date, and source-backed result count.

### `get_verification` (~74 tokens)

Get the append-only field-level audit history for one Andrew’s Freebies record. Catalog status and audit outcome are separate; audits never remove or change records.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `record_id` (string, required): Exact trial or entitlement id.
- `record_type` (string): Optional when the id uniquely resolves.

### `get_freshness` (~67 tokens)

Get latest verification state, attempted coverage, outcome counts, and verification-age boundaries. The goal is 100% attempted, not forced confirmation; blocked or unknown never means expired.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `outcome` (string)
- `record_type` (string)

### `flag_expired_deal` (~134 tokens)

Append an expiration report for an existing Andrew’s Freebies trial or entitlement. This creates a review signal only: it never removes or changes the catalog record.

Input parameters:

- `evidence_url` (string): Optional HTTP(S) page showing that the offer ended or is unavailable.
- `note` (string): Optional concise observation, up to 1,000 characters.
- `record_id` (string, required): Exact id returned by an Andrew’s Freebies search or record endpoint.
- `record_type` (string): Optional when the id uniquely resolves.
- `reporter` (string): Optional agent or integration identifier, up to 120 characters.
