check_visibilityAsk ChatGPT and Perplexity live (with web search) who they'd recommend in a business's category and city, and report whether THIS business appears.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
Description, as the server wrote it
Ask ChatGPT and Perplexity live (with web search) who they'd recommend in a business's category and city, and report whether THIS business appears. Returns honest appearance counts (never an invented metric), a per-engine split, who gets recommended instead, and which local sites the AI answers cite. AI answers vary substantially between runs — one check is a snapshot, not a stable measurement; re-check over time for the real picture. Call this when a user wants to know if AI assistants recommend a local business. Takes ~10-30 seconds. Price: $0.79 per delivered check.

  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
A live competitor scan: a research agent finds the business's strongest same-category rival nearby and scouts it (offer, pricing signals, review positioning, what they do that this business doesn't), while two ground-truth lookups run in parallel: ChatGPT/Perplexity sampling for AI-assistant visibility, and a direct Google Places review comparison (reviewSnapshot — the authoritative numbers; finding source URLs are verified against what the agent actually retrieved). The AI-visibility portion is a single-run snapshot — AI answers vary substantially between runs. BLOCKING and slow: typically 2-4 minutes — only call it from contexts that tolerate a long tool call. Price: $1.99 per delivered scan; a failed scan is never charged.

Why it is in this group
- The name "start_deep_report" says "start": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it
Launch a full overnight-grade research report on a local business: an autonomous research crew maps the competitive landscape, reads the business's and rivals' web presence, and delivers a long-form graded report with structured findings and an action list. ASYNC: this tool returns a slug immediately; the report takes roughly 10-20 minutes. Poll check_report_status, then fetch with get_report_result. Price: $9.99, charged when the report launches; if the report fails, the charge is refunded automatically. Each call starts a NEW report — do not retry a call that already returned a slug.

check_factsFind what AI assistants get WRONG about a local business.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Find what AI assistants get WRONG about a local business. Asks ChatGPT and Perplexity live (with web search) about the business's hours, address, phone, and category, then verifies each stated fact against Google Business ground truth. Returns a severity-ranked list of conflicts (with the AI's value vs. the trusted value and source) plus discrepancies to check. Conservative by design: a claim with no trusted source is 'unverifiable' (never an error), and a conflict is only counted when it reproduces across engines — so it won't cry wolf. Call this when a user asks whether AI has the right info about a business, or 'why does ChatGPT say we're closed'. Takes ~15-30 seconds. Price: $1.49 per delivered check.

check_report_statusPoll a deep research report by slug.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "check_report_status" says "status": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Poll a deep research report by slug. Free. Returns status (generating / ready / failed); a failed report triggers the automatic refund of its launch charge. Deep reports typically take 10-20 minutes — poll every few minutes, not every few seconds.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
get_report_resultFetch a completed deep research report by slug.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_report_result" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Fetch a completed deep research report by slug. Free. Returns the long-form report (markdown), a structured-findings JSON block, the action list, and the report card. If the report is still generating you get its status instead; if it failed, the launch charge is refunded automatically.
Annotations the server declares

Why it is in this group

Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "compare": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Compare a local business's Google rating and review count against the top same-category rivals nearby, with the gap math done: who leads, the rating delta, the review-volume ratio, and a verdict (leading / rated_equal_or_better_but_outreviewed / trailing). Live Google Maps lookup at call time. Call this when a user wants to know how a business's reviews stack up against local competitors. Takes a few seconds. Price: $0.39 per delivered comparison.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

3 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
