## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (3)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `betterpost_delete_content`

- The name "betterpost_delete_content" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Delete a piece of content and its hosted images.
```

### `betterpost_delete_project`

- The name "betterpost_delete_project" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The description says "Permanently deletes".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Permanently deletes a project and everything in it — its sources, stories, and content. Cannot be undone.
```

### `betterpost_remove_source`

- The name "betterpost_remove_source" says "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Removes a source from a project. Its already-gathered stories stay; the source is no longer fetched.
```

## Changes things (12)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `betterpost_add_source`

- The name "betterpost_add_source" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Adds a source to a project and fetches it immediately (bounded by a few seconds), returning `storiesAdded` so the next generate_content can use it; if it is still fetching it returns `fetched:false` with a note. Doubles as manual source import: paste any URL (RSS/Atom feed, article, or a page, profile, or post on a supported platform) and leave `type` as autodetect, or create a recurring keyword search by setting `value` to the search terms and `type` to a search kind (see `type`).
```

### `betterpost_add_story`

- The name "betterpost_add_story" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Manually imports a story you read about from its URL (pinned relevance, flagged is_manual) so generation can draw on it.
```

### `betterpost_create_project`

- The name "betterpost_create_project" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a content project. Slow, one-shot: infers config (criteria, industry, tone), discovers sources, and gathers/ranks an initial set of timely stories. Best called after the inferred audience, description, and tone have been confirmed with the user, since the config shapes everything downstream.
```

### `betterpost_derive_content`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Transform an existing piece into another format (e.g. newsletter → tweet). No fetching; reuses the source stories and topic.
```

### `betterpost_expand_coverage`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Broadens a project's coverage: expands the relevance criteria (when needed), finds more sources across news, the web, and the relevant social platforms, and fetches them inline. Applies on a `topic_unavailable`, `no_stories`, or low-coverage signal. May return `warming: true` with `retryAfterMs` (~60s), meaning the newly gathered stories are still landing. An out-of-scope `focus` requires `confirmedByUser: true`; without it, it returns a `confirmation_required` error. No credits are charged.
```

### `betterpost_generate_content`

- The name "betterpost_generate_content" says "generate": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Generate a new piece of content for a project from its timely, relevant stories. Fast in steady state. Charges credits on success only. If you pass a `topic` the project has no stories about, this returns a `topic_unavailable` error (no charge) carrying an `inScope` flag and next steps — it never silently writes an off-topic piece.
```

### `betterpost_hide_story`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Hides a story so generation ignores it. Reversible with unhide_story.
```

### `betterpost_humanize`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Rewrite existing text into BetterPost's readable, human voice. Preserves the meaning, facts, links, and format; returns the rewritten text plus short notes on what changed. Pass `projectId` to write in that project's tone and instructions, `type` to apply a channel's style, or `tone` to set the voice directly.
```

### `betterpost_suggest_topics`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Clusters a project's current stories into a few candidate angles — each with a label, how many stories back it, and example headlines — and warms the project (gathers and ranks fresh stories) in the process. Returns topics you can offer the user before generate_content.
```

### `betterpost_unhide_story`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Unhides a previously hidden story so generation can use it again.
```

### `betterpost_update_project`

- The name "betterpost_update_project" says "update": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Updates a project's title, audience, description, tone, freshness window, timezone, or relevance criteria, and returns the updated project with its criteria. Changing title/audience/description re-derives the relevance criteria (replace-all), which broadens or narrows what counts as on-topic. To edit criteria incrementally instead, pass `patch.addCriteria` (texts to append) and/or `patch.removeCriteria` (criterion ids from get_project/list_projects). Dates default to US Eastern unless a `timezone` (an IANA name like "America/New_York") is set.
```

### `betterpost_update_settings`

- The name "betterpost_update_settings" says "update": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Patches one content type's wordLimit and/or additionalInstructions (free-form writing guidance for that type; pass an empty string to clear it). Project-wide preferences (title/audience/tone, project-wide additionalInstructions) live on betterpost_update_project.
```

## Only reads (8)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `betterpost_get_content`

- The name "betterpost_get_content" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one piece of content in full.
```

### `betterpost_get_project`

- The name "betterpost_get_project" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns one project with its relevance `criteria` (each with an id, so a criterion can be targeted for removal via betterpost_update_project).
```

### `betterpost_get_settings`

- The name "betterpost_get_settings" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns a project's per-content-type settings (wordLimit and additionalInstructions for each channel).
```

### `betterpost_get_usage`

- The name "betterpost_get_usage" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Your credit balance, freeze state, and recent spend.
```

### `betterpost_list_content`

- The name "betterpost_list_content" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List a project's content (summaries + shareable `publicUrl` links).
```

### `betterpost_list_projects`

- The name "betterpost_list_projects" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns your projects, each with its relevance `criteria` (with ids) that define what counts as on-topic.
```

### `betterpost_list_sources`

- The name "betterpost_list_sources" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns one slimmed page of a project's sources plus project-wide `total` and `counts` (ok/failing/disabled/pending, and byType). Page with `limit` (default 50) and `offset`, following the returned `nextOffset` until it is null.
```

### `betterpost_list_stories`

- The name "betterpost_list_stories" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns a project's gathered stories, each with `title`, `url`, `summary`, `relevancy`, `publicationDate`, and `isManual`/`isHidden` flags. Pass includeHidden to include hidden ones.
```
