Returns the scoring model as [`get_scoring_model`](/mcp/get-scoring-model) does, plus `added`: each new question's `id`, `text` and `used`, whether the score uses it yet.

* **Before the scoring model is calibrated,** the score uses them right away, each with a weight Finic estimates.
* **After,** they're asked on every [`score`](/mcp/score) call and tried at the next [`calibrate`](/mcp/calibrate), which keeps the ones that help. Until then they're listed as not used on its page in the Finic Portal.
