        "longDescription": "Better Vetters is a contractor trust-check MCP server and API for AI agents. Given a business name and optional state, city, licence number, phone, or website, it searches official government open-data sources and returns a verdict and a 0-100 trust score, licence status, permit activity in covered cities, and data-freshness timestamps. Current coverage is Washington State, Texas, New York City, Oregon, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania (City of Pittsburgh licences and permits only; Pennsylvania has no statewide contractor licence, and the PA Attorney General's HIC registration is not checked). Oregon and Connecticut are licence-only (no permit feed). Pittsburgh permit data: City of Pittsburgh Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections via the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center (WPRDC), CC BY 4.0. A name-only match below 0.8 confidence returns the verdict needs_review. Results are public records, not legal advice, and not a consumer report. All credit purchases are final and non-refundable, except where applicable law requires a refund, or to correct a duplicate or erroneous charge. Unused credits are not refundable. Credits do not expire while the account is active. Free starter credits have no cash value."
