## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `check_eligibility`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
Given a user's credit band (and optionally income), return cards they would typically qualify for, surfacing issuer application rules (e.g. Chase 5/24) and any income floor. Only cards that publish a credit requirement can be answered; cards with no published requirement are counted in `unknownCount`, never listed as qualifying. This is a likelihood signal from published guidance, not an approval guarantee.
```

### `estimate_rewards`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
Given an annual spending profile (USD per category, e.g. { dining: 6000, groceries: 8000, travel: 4000, other: 20000 }), estimate each card's net rewards value and rank them. Net value = rewards earned on spend + first-year signup bonus − annual fee. Statement credits are reported separately (max value if fully used), NOT folded into the headline, to avoid overstating premium 'coupon-book' cards. Returns a per-category breakdown and the assumptions used. All card facts come from the verified dataset; only point valuation is modeled.
```

## Only reads (4)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `compare_cards`

- The name "compare_cards" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Side-by-side detail for two or more cards by id: fees, foreign-transaction fee, signup bonus, earn rates, credits and eligibility. Apply links are tracked redirects.
```

### `get_apply_link`

- The name "get_apply_link" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the apply link for a card. This is always a creditcards.best tracked redirect that records the referral and forwards to the issuer; the raw issuer URL is never returned.
```

### `get_card`

- The name "get_card" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full detail for a single card by id (slug), including earn rates, credits, eligibility, sources and lastVerified. The apply link is our tracked redirect, not the issuer URL.
```

### `search_cards`

- The name "search_cards" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Filter the US credit-card dataset by product type, rewards currency (program name or kind), issuer, annual fee, foreign-transaction fee, signup-bonus value, credit band, or curated category. Searches ONLY issuer-verified cards by default, because unverified stubs carry null for most filterable fields and a null is not a zero. Set verified:false for the stubs, or verified:null to search everything knowingly. Returns at most 25 summaries unless you raise `limit`; `total` is the full match count and `truncated` says whether you are seeing all of it. Rankings reflect fit, not placement.
```
