Start an async trust-signals scan

Changed on

Start an asynchronous trust-signal analysis for a public domain. Returns a tier verdict (comprehensive / substantial / moderate / minimal) with a 0-100 score and a per-category breakdown across five buyer-concern areas: enterprise readiness, third-party validation, social proof, brand authority, and risk reversal. Also surfaces suspicious patterns (e.g. unverified compliance claims, count-vs-logo mismatches, unlinked press mentions) and gaps versus tier benchmarks. Returns sub-second with item: { id, status: "queued", createdAt, expiresAt } — poll GET /v1/tools/trust-signals/scans/{scanId} until status is completed or failed. Most scans complete in seconds; heavy-render sites can take up to ~90 seconds. Result and error payloads are persisted for 24h, after which the scan auto-deletes and GET returns 404. No project required. Suitable for sales discovery, due-diligence flows, and competitive credibility audits — and the only supported shape for MCP clients (Cursor / Claude Desktop hardcode 60-second tool-call timeouts).
