    roast_ideaGet the full whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com roast for an AI agent idea: the verdict tier, an agent-readiness score (0-100 + band), the top OWASP-MCP security risk, the "you're the X% who…" framing, and a shareable /result URL. Every call mints a real, persistent result page (its own OG share card) — so roasting from your IDE also publishes it. Anonymous (no token): 3/hour, 10/day. Add a token for higher limits.
    get_verdictFetch a verdict that was already minted, by its result id or slug. Read-only — no new analysis, no rate-limit cost. Returns the same structured verdict shape as roast_idea.
    get_statsLive public numbers for whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com: total ideas roasted, live results, % told to ship, % that already exist, roast battles, and how many roasts came in via MCP. Read-only, no rate-limit cost.
    browse_explorePage through existing public roasts (the /explore feed) with their shareable /result URLs. Optional free-text query and sort (newest | top | money). Read-only, no rate-limit cost — use it to see whether an idea was already roasted before minting a new one.
