## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `ask`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Ask a question and get an answer grounded ONLY in TheWholeTorah.ai's own lessons and sources, with citations. It will say when it does not know rather than guess. Prefer this for 'what does X say about Y' questions.
```

## Only reads (7)

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

### `get_audio`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Narration links for a lesson by slug: one MP3 URL per language that has a published recording, so the lesson can be listened to, not just read.
```

### `get_daily`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The Hayom Yom entry for a civil date (default: today in Jerusalem). Hayom Yom is the Rebbe's calendar of daily Chassidus teachings, one short entry per Hebrew calendar day. Note: the Jewish day begins at nightfall, so after dark the next day's entry applies.
```

### `get_lesson`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one lesson by its slug (from search_lessons). Returns the lesson's opening in full and a link to read or listen to the rest on TheWholeTorah.ai.
```

### `get_source_text`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the classical source text a lesson is built on (Mishnah, Shulchan Aruch, Tanya), vocalized, in full. These are public-domain texts via Sefaria.
```

### `list_books`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The catalog: every book and collection on TheWholeTorah.ai with its sections and published lesson counts. Use it to see what the library covers before searching.
```

### `search_lessons`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search TheWholeTorah.ai for lessons on a topic, across Mishnah, Tanya, Hayom Yom and Chassidus. Returns titles, links and short excerpts. Use this first to find what exists, then get_lesson for one.
```

### `search_sources`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Hybrid search over the classical text corpora themselves (Mishnah, Talmud, Rashi, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, Tanya, the commentaries and more), separate from our lessons. Returns labeled passages with links where available. Use search_lessons for our teaching; use this for the primary texts.
```
