get_manualGet full manual text by name, e.g.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_manual" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Get full manual text by name, e.g. manual_name="ls"; no package needed. manual_name is the command name (also matches aliases); package is an optional filter. Tries exact casing first, then a case-insensitive name/alias match. Search API selects latest indexed packages per scope, preferring Fedora when distribution is omitted, then newest Fedora RPM version across scopes. Explicit filters always apply; package_version can select historical manuals. Exact command names (sections 1/8) precede other names and aliases within the preferred distro. No locale fallback. Returns manual text with a distro/release and package/version header. Source-only manuals raise an error with extraction status.
Annotations the server declares

get_targetsList indexed distribution/release/repository/architecture scopes and counts.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_targets" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List indexed distribution/release/repository/architecture scopes and counts. Use the returned values verbatim; targets such as CentOS 8, EPEL 9 or Fedora 43 are available only if they have been indexed.

- readOnlyHint: true

searchSearch manual text/metadata; return ranked hits, snippets and exact identities.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search manual text/metadata; return ranked hits, snippets and exact identities. Latest indexed package versions are used unless package_version is supplied. Omitted scope filters include all indexed distributions and releases. Supply query for relevance-ranked text search, or manual_name without query for name/alias lookup with Fedora-preferred recommendations and case-insensitive fallback. Pass next_cursor with identical arguments for the next live page; results can shift as indexing progresses. Filters are exact and case-sensitive.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
