- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.

  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1212 tokens (~242/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).

  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (5)

### `recent_changes` (~265 tokens)

List the most recent verified pricing and plan changes across the whole ComparEdge catalog, newest first, with a per-type tally of the window.

BEHAVIOR: Returns changes from the last N days: price moves, plans added or removed, renames, and billing-model switches. Each line shows the date, product, and what changed. A short tally (plan_price_change: 12, plan_added: 4, ...) summarizes the window so you can gauge activity before reading detail.

USAGE GUIDELINES:
\- Use when the user asks "what changed recently?", "any SaaS price moves this week?", or "what is new in pricing?".
\- Widen days when the window looks quiet; the catalog does not change every day.
\- Use category_changes to scope to one category, or product_changes for a single tool.
\- Use biggest_increases when the user cares specifically about price hikes.

EXAMPLE QUERIES: "What pricing changed in the last week?", "Any recent SaaS price changes?", "Show me the 30 most recent plan changes"

Input parameters:

- `days` (number): Look back this many days (default: 30)
- `limit` (number): Maximum number of changes to list (default: 20, max: 100)

### `product_changes` (~241 tokens)

Show the full recorded change history for one product by slug, newest first, including every price move, plan addition, and plan removal on file.

BEHAVIOR: Filters the changelog to a single product and lists each dated change. Reports how many of those were price changes. Use this to see how a tool's pricing has drifted over time.

USAGE GUIDELINES:
\- Use when the user names one product: "how has Notion pricing changed?", "has Vercel raised prices?".
\- The slug is the ComparEdge url form: lowercase, hyphenated (Notion -> "notion", GitHub Copilot -> "github-copilot").
\- Use check_price when the user wants the current price rather than the history.

EXAMPLE QUERIES: "Has Notion changed its pricing?", "Show me Bluehost price history", "What plan changes has Linear made?"

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Maximum number of history entries to show (default: 50, max: 200)
- `slug` (string, required): Product slug in ComparEdge url form (e.g. "notion", "github-copilot")

### `category_changes` (~256 tokens)

List recent pricing and plan changes within one category, newest first, and name the products that moved most in the window.

BEHAVIOR: Filters the changelog to a category slug over the last N days, returns the newest changes, and highlights the most active products. Good for spotting a category-wide pricing trend.

USAGE GUIDELINES:
\- Use when the user scopes to a market: "what is happening with cloud hosting prices?", "recent CRM plan changes".
\- Category slugs are lowercase and hyphenated, e.g. "cloud-hosting", "llm", "crm", "email-marketing", "crypto-exchanges".
\- Use recent_changes for a catalog-wide view, or biggest_increases to rank hikes.

EXAMPLE QUERIES: "What changed in cloud hosting lately?", "Recent LLM pricing changes", "Any movement in email marketing plans this quarter?"

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required): Category slug (e.g. "cloud-hosting", "llm", "crm", "crypto-exchanges")
- `days` (number): Look back this many days (default: 90)
- `limit` (number): Maximum number of changes to list (default: 30, max: 100)

### `biggest_increases` (~226 tokens)

Rank the largest plan price increases across the catalog over a window, by percent, with the dollar change alongside.

BEHAVIOR: Looks at plan_price_change entries where the new price is higher than the old, computes the percent and absolute increase, and returns the top movers. Decreases and new-plan additions are excluded. Sorted by percent increase, with the dollar delta in parentheses.

USAGE GUIDELINES:
\- Use when the user asks "who raised prices?", "biggest price hikes lately", or is watching for cost creep in their stack.
\- Widen days for a broader sweep; narrow it to focus on the most recent moves.
\- Use product_changes to drill into any single product from the list.

EXAMPLE QUERIES: "Which tools raised prices the most this quarter?", "Biggest SaaS price increases recently", "Show me the top 10 price hikes"

Input parameters:

- `days` (number): Look back this many days (default: 90)
- `limit` (number): How many increases to return (default: 10, max: 50)

### `check_price` (~224 tokens)

Report a product's current pricing (plans, starting price, free plan, token pricing) together with its most recent recorded changes.

BEHAVIOR: Reads the live pricing feed for the named product and lists its plans, starting price, billing model, and any per-token pricing, then appends the last few changelog entries for that product and the date it was last verified. One call answers "what does it cost now, and has it moved lately?".

USAGE GUIDELINES:
\- Use when the user wants the current price of one tool, optionally with recent history.
\- The slug is the ComparEdge url form: lowercase, hyphenated.
\- Use product_changes when the user wants the full history rather than the current snapshot.

EXAMPLE QUERIES: "What does Notion cost right now?", "Current Vercel pricing and any recent changes", "How much is Bluehost and did it go up?"

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Product slug in ComparEdge url form (e.g. "notion", "vercel", "bluehost")
