## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_manual`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `get_targets`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```
