## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `mapsdata_cancel_scrape`

- 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:

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

## Changes things (1)

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

### `mapsdata_start_scrape`

- The name "mapsdata_start_scrape" says "start": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

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

## Only reads (6)

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

### `mapsdata_get_download_link`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a link to a finished scrape's results. The link expires in 15 minutes, so hand it to the user promptly rather than storing it.
```

### `mapsdata_get_scrape`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

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

### `mapsdata_get_usage`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

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

### `mapsdata_list_regions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

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

### `mapsdata_list_scrapes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.
```

### `mapsdata_search_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

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