## Findings

- **warn** Mentions of other tools or servers in `list_brands` ([tool-shadowing](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#tool-shadowing))

```untrusted-server-text
The description contains "every other tool", wording about other tools or servers.

description: "...ers, with ids and websites. Call first; every other tool takes a brand_id."
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `get_report_link` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "get_report_link" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "get_report_link" says "get": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (4)

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

### `add_brand`

- The name "add_brand" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Start measuring a brand: does ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI mention it, and who does AI recommend instead? Give the brand's website (or its app store, Google Maps, YouTube or Instagram link). It reads the site, picks the buyer questions, and starts the first scan across the AI engines. Reading the site takes 1-2 minutes; if it is still running, call again with the same link and it picks up the same run, never a second one. Returns the brand_id; then use get_scan_status.
```

### `create_prompt`

- The name "create_prompt" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Adds a buyer question to a topic so it is asked on every engine in the plan from the next run. Counts toward the plan's question limit. Calling again with the same text returns the existing question, never a duplicate.
```

### `get_report_link`

- The name "get_report_link" says "get": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "link": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A link to the brand's AI visibility report to share with a team or client: how often AI answers mention the brand, which competitors they name instead, and which sources they cite. Returns the newest finished report's own unlisted link. Reports are built automatically after a brand's first scan.
```

### `mark_fix_shipped`

- The name "mark_fix_shipped" says "mark": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Records that a fix shipped, against a gap_id from list_fix_opportunities or a published content_draft_id, so get_fix_verification can measure whether it moved the brand's mention rate. Calling again with the same fix and description returns the existing record.
```

## Only reads (10)

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

### `get_changes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What moved over the window: the daily mention-rate trend, how much the engines' answers changed, notable changes on competitors' websites, and new pages about the category.
```

### `get_citations`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The websites AI answers cite for the brand's buyer questions, ranked by share of citations and by how many answers cite them, and where the brand's own site ranks.
```

### `get_competitors`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The competitors AI answers name for the brand's buyer questions, per engine, with each one's share of voice against the brand and how it changed over the window.
```

### `get_fix_verification`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Each fix marked shipped for the brand with its mention rate before and after and a verdict: moved (beyond normal answer churn), within_noise, or awaiting_samples. Fixes marked "Not a fix" are left out; auto-detected page changes carry source auto_detected.
```

### `get_scan_status`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Progress of a brand's first scan after add_brand: the stage, how many AI answers are in out of how many expected, per engine, and when it should finish. Once complete, use get_visibility for the results.
```

### `get_visibility`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
How often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI mention the brand when buyers ask about its category. by=engine (default): mention rate, share of voice, average position, citation share and sentiment per engine, with the change from the previous period. by=question: each buyer question's mention rate and rank.
```

### `list_brands`

- The name "list_brands" says "list": a word for reading.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The brands this workspace tracks in AI answers, with ids and websites. Call first; every other tool takes a brand_id.
```

### `list_fix_opportunities`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The gaps that keep AI engines from citing or recommending the brand, each with its evidence and the suggested fix. Gives the gap_id mark_fix_shipped needs.
```

### `list_topics`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The topics and buyer questions this workspace asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI for a brand. Gives the topic_id create_prompt needs.
```

### `see_example`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Shows what Proofsource measures, without signing in: a real visibility card for one example brand (Tesla), from answers collected from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. It shows how often AI answers mention the brand, per engine, which competitors they name instead, and sample answers. Use it when someone asks whether their brand shows up in AI answers and has not signed in. It always shows the example brand; to check their own brand they sign in.
```
