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

description: "...ons, invisible characters, requests for credential files and more. Returns a grade A to F..."
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `preflight_check`

- 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
Live-check an x402 URL before paying it: valid challenge, real price, token, pay-to match. Sends one unpaid request to the URL and compares the answer with our records; the verdict is ok, caution or avoid. Costs $0.005 via x402.
```

### `scan_mcp_server`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. Connects to a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) the way an agent would, reads its tool definitions and instructions (up to a size limit) without calling any tool, and checks them for tool poisoning: hidden instructions, invisible characters, requests for credential files and more. Returns a grade A to F with findings, and says when part of the definitions was too large to check. Limited per IP.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_service`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. Basic facts about one listing by id: kind, URL, price, trust score and live status. Use get_service_report for history and security findings.
```

### `get_service_report`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full vetting report for one service (uptime, latency, price history, security findings). Takes an id from search or recommend results. Costs $0.002 via x402.
```

### `get_service_status`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. Is a listed service up right now? Its state (up, degraded, down, or unknown when not checked yet), since when, the latest check, uptime over 24 hours, 7 and 30 days, and recent outages, from ToolVet's own checks.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. Categories in the directory with how many services each has.
```

### `recommend_service`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the best 3 live, trustworthy services for a task, with reasons and call instructions. Use it when you have one concrete task; use search_services to compare more options. Costs $0.01 via x402.
```

### `search_services`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search vetted, live-monitored x402 APIs and MCP servers. Returns listings ranked by relevance, trust score and usage, each with price, live status and how to call it; sponsored listings come in a separate list. For one pick for a task, use recommend_service. Costs $0.003 via x402. Each IP address gets 10 free searches a day.
```
