Deletes or cancels 1Claude Code: deny
  • mapsdata_cancel_scrapeCancel a queued or running scrape.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mapsdata_cancel_scrape" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something.
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Cancel a queued or running scrape. A queued scrape costs nothing. CANCELLING A RUNNING SCRAPE STILL BILLS the leads already delivered, so confirm with the user before calling this.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: false
    • destructiveHint: true
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true

Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • mapsdata_start_scrapeStart scraping Google Maps businesses and their emails.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mapsdata_start_scrape" says "start": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Start scraping Google Maps businesses and their emails. Returns IMMEDIATELY with a job id; the scrape itself takes 5 minutes to several hours. Before calling this, confirm the category with mapsdata_search_categories and the region with mapsdata_list_regions. Those two mistakes are the overwhelming majority of rejections. This consumes the user's monthly lead allowance. Set dry_run to check a request against every rule without spending anything.

  • mapsdata_get_scrapeGet the current state of one scrape.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mapsdata_get_scrape" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the current state of one scrape. This is an INSTANT SNAPSHOT of a job that runs for minutes to hours. Do NOT call it repeatedly in a loop. The response includes next_action, the suggested next step for the job's current status. MapsData also emails the user when a scrape finishes.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true
    • title: Check a scrape
  • mapsdata_get_usageHow much of this month's lead allowance is left, and the largest single scrape this plan allows.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mapsdata_get_usage" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    How much of this month's lead allowance is left, and the largest single scrape this plan allows. Read max_rows_this_scrape before choosing a total_limit.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true
    • title: Check plan usage
  • mapsdata_list_regionsList the exact region names a scrape accepts for a country.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mapsdata_list_regions" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the exact region names a scrape accepts for a country. Submit them verbatim. Abbreviations like 'TX' are rejected, because the postal tables key on the full name.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • title: List valid regions
  • mapsdata_list_scrapesList this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mapsdata_list_scrapes" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true
    • title: List recent scrapes
  • mapsdata_search_categoriesSearch the Google Maps business categories MapsData can scrape.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mapsdata_search_categories" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search the Google Maps business categories MapsData can scrape. CALL THIS FIRST, before mapsdata_start_scrape: a scrape's query must be one of these exact categories, and a free-text guess like 'plumbing companies' is rejected.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • title: Search Google Maps categories

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.
