## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `citation_tracker_monitor_cancel`

- The name "citation_tracker_monitor_cancel" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Stops a monitor and deletes its prompt, domains and results. Unused runs are not refunded. Free. Needs the monitor_id.
```

## Can't be undone (3)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `citation_tracker_check`

- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sends one prompt to 1 to 4 search assistants (Perplexity, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and reports whether each cites your target domains: cited status, citation count, cited domains, model, and a structured error per engine. Started concurrently; a failed engine returns `cited: null` and does not block the others (PD7). Paid, $0.75/call; read-only and safe to retry.
```

### `citation_tracker_check_one`

- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sends one prompt to one search assistant (Perplexity, OpenAI or Gemini) and reports whether it cites your target domains: cited status, citation count, cited domains, model, and a structured error. For Claude, or several engines in one call, use citation_tracker_check. Paid, $0.15/call; read-only and safe to retry.
```

### `citation_tracker_check_perplexity`

- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sends one prompt to Perplexity (sonar) and reports whether it cites your target domains, with citation count and cited domains. Free: one call per caller and 100 calls total per UTC day; both limits fail closed. A real live evaluation before you pay for citation_tracker_check.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `citation_tracker_monitor_30`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Buys a monitor: 30 recurring runs of citation_tracker_check for one prompt and 1 to 10 target domains, daily or weekly. The first run happens now and is returned. Later runs are read with citation_tracker_monitor_status using the returned monitor_id (the only credential; it is not recoverable). Each run flags which target domains changed since the last run. Paid once, $18 for the term ($0.6/check); no refund of unused runs; cancel any time with citation_tracker_monitor_cancel. Retains the prompt, domains and results until 30 days after the last run or until cancelled.
```

### `citation_tracker_monitor_7`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Buys a monitor: 7 recurring runs of citation_tracker_check for one prompt and 1 to 10 target domains, daily or weekly. The first run happens now and is returned. Later runs are read with citation_tracker_monitor_status using the returned monitor_id (the only credential; it is not recoverable). Each run flags which target domains changed since the last run. Paid once, $4.2 for the term ($0.6/check); no refund of unused runs; cancel any time with citation_tracker_monitor_cancel. Retains the prompt, domains and results until 30 days after the last run or until cancelled.
```

### `citation_tracker_shortlist_gate`

- 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
Checks whether ChatGPT would search the web for one prompt and whether its first search query names any of your supplied brand or product terms (whole-word match). Use it to gate a prompt before spending on citation_tracker_check. Paid, $0.20/call; read-only and safe to retry.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `citation_tracker_monitor_status`

- The name "citation_tracker_monitor_status" says "status": a word for reading.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reads a monitor: remaining runs, next run time, and every run so far (most recent first) with the same per-engine rows as citation_tracker_check plus changed_since_last per target domain. Free. Needs the monitor_id.
```
