    Description, as the server wrote it

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_reality_score" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Estimate the modeled annual value of a supported premium credit card for a consumer segment. Supply a card slug or name and optionally a segment ID; the default is occasional-traveler. Return segment assumptions, score, rewards, credits, perks, fee, interest, friction, net value, caveats, sources, verification date, freshness and methodology. Gross recovered value is rewards + credits + perks. breakageMultiplier is gross recovered value / advertised value, NOT divided by annual fee. feeRecoveryMultiplier is max(0, gross recovered value - interest drag - rewards friction discount) / annual fee, before subtracting the fee. Friction applies to raw rewards only. Reality Score is 100 * net realized value / advertised value. Ratios are rounded. These are scenario estimates, not personalized advice or guaranteed benefits. Preserve stale or unavailable labels; do not infer that all terms share the observation date. Unknown cards or segments return a structured error with suggestions.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_top_hysa_rates" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return top high-yield savings rates with freshness and attribution. Answers only from the editor-approved snapshot; before its first release it returns no ranked rates and says so (approval_status: not_yet_approved). approvedOnly makes the requirement explicit. detail=full adds every listed account marked verified or tracked, best picks, movers, history and a headline summary.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_top_rates" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return top SwitchWize rates with freshness and attribution. Savings, CDs, checking and money market answer only from their editor-approved snapshot. A category with no approved release yet returns no ranked rates and says so (approval_status: not_yet_approved) rather than serving unverified observations; approvedOnly makes that requirement explicit. Approved responses include product terms and field evidence; stale or unavailable releases return no ranked rates. detail=full (savings) adds the complete shared build: every listed account marked verified or tracked, best picks, movers, history and a headline summary.
