Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_top_ratesA | 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. |
| get_top_hysa_ratesA | 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. |
| get_bank_gapA | Estimate annual savings interest forgone for a supplied balance and optional bank name. comparisonApy is the average of the top three tracked savings rates, not an average across all banks; bankCount is the size of the tracked set. baselineApy is the named bank's APY, or the national savings benchmark when no bank is supplied. Return annualGap, APYs, observation date, freshness and methodology. This is a hypothetical estimate, not guaranteed savings or an account recommendation; verify eligibility, fees and current provider terms. |
| compare_switch_savingsB | Compare a user's current APY with SwitchWize's current top savings APY for a balance. |
| get_rate_freshnessB | Return public data source freshness status and affected routes. |
| get_index_datasetC | Return a SwitchWize index dataset summary and recent series. |
| get_bank_gap_indexA | Return the current SwitchWize Bank Gap Index headline value, latest release, and methodology URL. |
| get_reality_scoreA | 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. |
| get_card_offersA | Return current credit-card welcome-bonus offers (non-targeted, confidence-gated), each with a verified timestamp, source URL, and the card's own 12-month best. |
| get_transfer_bonusesB | Return current point-transfer bonuses across tracked bank-to-partner routes, each with a verified timestamp, source URL, and best-ever-for-route when real history exists. |
| get_card_changesB | Return recent verified credit-card fee and APR changes, most recent first. Each event is a diff between two confirmed snapshots of the same card. |
| get_reward_valuationsB | Return SwitchWize points/miles valuations (cents per point) per reward currency, with sample size and provisional/published status. |
| best_move_this_weekA | Given the credit cards a user holds, rank this week's dollar-valued actions: which held card to use per spend category, welcome offers at a 12-month high on cards not held, active transfer bonuses, and (optionally) the savings-rate move beside the card move. |
| get_cd_rollover_rulesA | Return verified CD rollover rules for one bank, or every bank SwitchWize has verified: what happens automatically at maturity if the customer does nothing, the grace period, how to stop the rollover, and the early-withdrawal penalty. Each fact is sourced directly from the bank's own disclosure; an unverified field is omitted, never guessed. |
| get_card_downgrade_pathA | Return verified credit-card product-change (downgrade) paths and the issuer's fee-refund window: which no-fee or lower-fee card a given card can be product-changed to, and how long after the annual fee posts a refund is available on cancellation. Optionally filtered to one card id (issuer:slug); returns every verified path and window when omitted. |
| get_fed_hike_pass_throughA | Return how much of the latest Federal Reserve rate hike each tracked savings account has passed through to savers so far: rate before the hike, rate now, change in basis points, pass-through share, and days until the bank moved. One source per bank; each row carries its source type and observation dates. Optionally filtered to one institution id. |
Prompts
Interactive templates invoked by user choice
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| audit_savings | Check whether the user is losing money by keeping cash at their current bank, and what the annual gap is. |
| audit_wallet | Given the credit cards a user holds, find this week's highest-value move: which card to use per spend category, unheld offers at a 12-month high, and active transfer bonuses. |
| prepare_cd_maturity | Explain what happens automatically when a CD matures at a given bank (or every verified bank), and whether the rollover rate is competitive. |
Resources
Contextual data attached and managed by the client
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SwitchWize methodology | How SwitchWize sources, verifies, and labels rate/card/reward data — read this before citing a SwitchWize figure as authoritative. |
| Freshness and verification policy | What freshnessStatus, asOf, and verified_at mean on every tool response, and how stale is too stale to act on. |
| Tool catalog | All 16 public-data tools with descriptions and suggested chaining — a compact reference so a client doesn't need to re-request tools/list to remember what's available. |
| Supported institutions | How to get the full list of banks/cards SwitchWize tracks for a given category — this server does not hardcode the list (it changes as coverage grows), it points to the tool that returns it live. |
TDQS
Scored across 16 tools
Several tools overlap around savings-rate comparison and top-rate retrieval: get_top_hysa_rates, get_top_rates, get_bank_gap, and compare_switch_savings can be confused depending on whether the user wants ranked rates, a gap estimate, or a direct comparison. Index tools also overlap somewhat (get_bank_gap_index vs get_index_dataset), though descriptions provide enough detail to usually select correctly.
The set is mostly consistent snake_case with a get_ verb_noun pattern across 14 of 16 tools. compare_switch_savings and best_move_this_week deviate from the get_ prefix but remain readable and predictable.
16 tools is slightly heavy for an MCP server but reasonable given the broad domain spanning savings rates, credit cards, rewards, and indices. Each tool appears to serve a distinct query type rather than being redundant filler.
The surface covers many analysis and lookup workflows: top rates, gap estimates, card offers, transfer bonuses, card changes, downgrade paths, valuations, and freshness. Minor gaps exist around generic discovery of supported banks/cards/segments and direct product-detail lookup, but agents can often work around these using the provided tools.
