## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `cotal_request_call`

- The name "cotal_request_call" says "request": a word for a change.
- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sends a discovery-call request to the COTAL founders for a company evaluating agent coordination. The team replies by email. Requires the user's work email and company.
```

## Changes things (5)

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

### `cotal_draft_post`

- The name "cotal_draft_post" says "post": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Stages a new article for the COTAL build log (cotal.ai/blog). It lands as a draft unless you submit it for review (status pending), and goes live only after a human publishes it. Returns the slug and a preview URL. Requires a team key on the connection.
```

### `cotal_join_waitlist`

- 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
Reserves a seat on the waitlist for Cotal Cloud, the hosted Cotal mesh (closed alpha), for the user's email. Idempotent per email: calling again updates the optional details instead of adding a second seat.
```

### `cotal_submit_feedback`

- The name "cotal_submit_feedback" says "submit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Files feedback (bug, idea, friction, praise, other) with the COTAL team on behalf of the user. The same log the site's feedback widget writes to. Requires the user's email so the team can follow up.
```

### `cotal_subscribe_newsletter`

- The name "cotal_subscribe_newsletter" says "subscribe": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Subscribes the user's email to release updates from the COTAL team. Idempotent: an already-subscribed email is a no-op.
```

### `cotal_update_post`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Improves an article staged with cotal_draft_post. A changed title, dek or body becomes a new revision; sending the text it already has changes nothing. Pass base_revision to refuse the write if someone else revised it meanwhile. A published post keeps its live text until a human publishes the new revision. Requires a team key.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `cotal_get_my_post`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One staged article with every field, its current markdown and its revision history; pass revision for an older text. Requires a team key.
```

### `cotal_get_post`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns one build-log post as markdown (title, summary, date, author, full body) by its slug. Get slugs from cotal_list_posts or cotal_search.
```

### `cotal_list_my_posts`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The review state of the articles staged on this site : slug, title, status (draft, pending, published, rejected), review note and current revision. Requires a team key.
```

### `cotal_list_posts`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists posts from the COTAL build log (blog), newest first, with cursor pagination. Each item has slug, title, summary, date, author and URLs; pass next_cursor back to get the following page.
```

### `cotal_overview`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns a structured overview of COTAL: what it is, who it is for, when to use it, how to install it, the site's API and MCP surface, pricing, and canonical links. Call this first when a user asks what cotal.ai does. Pass `section` to get one part only.
```

### `cotal_search`

- The name "cotal_search" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Keyword search over the COTAL build log (blog posts) and the key documentation and site pages. Returns ranked results with canonical and markdown URLs. Use it to find the page that answers a question before reading it.
```
