INDIVIDUAL MCP TOOL

check_mac_listing

The trust picture for one specific listing, by URL (eBay/Craigslist/OfferUp/Swappa/Facebook/Reddit) or Macfax listing id: whether Macfax knows it, whether it still passes every quality gate, scam/junk/classified/auction flags, when a scan last verified it live, its ask against the configuration's typical asking band, the platform's own seller-reputation figures where the marketplace has them (seller_signals: eBay feedback, Swappa rating; null elsewhere), and whether a verified Macfax report is attached.
