## Findings

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

description: "...memory. Safety: Never collects provider credentials in the agent. Send the user to Promise."
```


## Can't be undone (2)

### `capture_note`

- The name "capture_note" says "capture": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.

### `draft_follow_up`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

```

## Only reads (7)
