Reports which source supplied the credential, whether api.getyourguide.com accepted it, the round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'no credential' from 'credential rejected' from 'a api.getyourguide.com-side problem'. Read-only; never returns the credential itself. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke.
