## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `flag_expired_deal` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.note.description mentions "credentials".

inputSchema.properties.note.description: "..., up to 1,000 characters; never include credentials or personal data."
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `flag_expired_deal`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `fetch`

- The name "fetch" says "fetch": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `get_freshness`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `get_record`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `get_verification`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `search_freebies`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```
