## Findings

- **high** Text addressed to the model in `cut_audio` ([model-directed-text](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#model-directed-text))

```untrusted-server-text
The description contains "do not show them to the user", an instruction to keep something from the user.

```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `cut_audio`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: high model-directed-text

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Cut audio from a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or SoundCloud URL and return a short-lived download link. Lead with download_url for cut/download requests; offer editor_url when the user wants to tweak the selection. Links expire after about an hour — ask again in chat for a fresh cut if expired. Omit start_sec and end_sec for the full track. format defaults to mp3 (wav allowed). clip_id and peaks drive the interactive clip card some chat apps show; do not show them to the user. If the user adjusted the clip in the card, read the widget context for the current range and download link before answering follow-ups.
```

### `retrim_clip`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Re-cut a clip from Samplecut's clip card to a new start/end, reusing the audio already extracted for it. Called by the interactive card; to cut something new, use cut_audio.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `get_transcript`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch timestamped captions for a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or SoundCloud URL when the platform provides them. Use segment start_sec/end_sec (or the flat text) to choose a cut range, then call cut_audio with the same URL and those times. When available is false there are no captions — do not invent lyrics or timestamps; tell the user to pick times another way. Optional lang is a BCP-47 code (default en). No job_id is returned.
```
