## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `research`

- 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
Perform comprehensive research on a topic. Decomposes your query into sub-queries, searches and reads multiple sources in parallel, then synthesizes a structured report with citations. Best for open-ended or comparative questions that need coverage from many angles. For simple factual lookups, use search instead (optionally with include_answer=true for cheap synthesis). Costs 50 credits.

Returns: query, report (structured markdown with citations), sources (array of {title, url, fetched}), sub_queries (the decomposed queries), credits_used, credits_remaining, usage (token counts).

Args:
    query: The research question or topic
    topic: "general" (default) or "news" (prioritize recent news articles)
    freshness: Filter by recency - "day", "week", "month", "year", or "YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD"
    max_sources: Maximum number of sources to use, 5-30 (default 20)
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `extract`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a webpage and extract specific information using AI. Use this when you need one specific answer from a page (e.g. a price, a spec, contact info) rather than its full content. The answer comes back as text, not JSON. Costs 10 credits.

If the page has no usable text (empty or JavaScript-rendered body), the model is NOT called: content comes back empty and usage.low_content is true, rather than a fabricated answer. Gate on usage.low_content (or usage.content_chars) to detect pages you cannot ground on.

Returns: content (the extracted text), url, credits_used, credits_remaining, usage (input_tokens, output_tokens, content_chars, low_content).

Args:
    url: The URL to extract from
    prompt: What information to extract (e.g. "list all pricing tiers with features" or "extract the author name and publication date")
```

### `fetch`

- The name "fetch" says "fetch": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one or more URLs and return their content as clean markdown. Use this to read articles, documentation, blog posts, or any page where you need the complete text, not just a snippet from search. Also supports PDF, DOCX, and other document formats. Costs 2 credits per URL. Max 10 URLs per request. Failed URLs are not charged.

Set include_raw_html=true to also get the raw HTML source in each result. Useful for inspecting embedded URLs, data attributes, iframes, or script tags that are stripped during markdown conversion. May be null for non-HTML content (PDF, DOCX, etc.) and for some sites. Same cost.

Returns: results (array of {title, url, content, raw_html, published_time, success, error}), credits_used, credits_remaining.

Args:
    urls: List of URLs to fetch (max 10)
    include_raw_html: Include raw HTML source in each result (default false)
```

### `search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the web for current information on any topic. Returns extracted page content, not just snippets. Best for factual lookups, specific questions, or when you need a list of sources. For open-ended questions that need synthesis across many sources, use the research tool instead.

For news queries (current events, breaking news, politics, world events), set topic="news" to search news sources specifically. This returns recent articles with publication dates.

Set include_answer=true to get an AI-synthesized answer alongside results (adds 10 credits). This is the sweet spot for most agent tasks, e.g. basic + include_answer = 12 credits, much cheaper than a full 50-credit research call.

Returns: query (the query actually run), answer (if requested), results (array of {title, url, content, description, fetched, published_date, sublinks, table}), search_depth, topic, elapsed_ms, credits_used, credits_remaining, altered_query, relaxed_query (set when the query matched nothing and was retried once with its site: operator, else its quotes, removed - the results answer that looser query).

Args:
    query: The search query
    search_depth: "basic" (default) for extracted page content (2 credits), "snippets" for SERP snippets only without page fetching (1 credit)
    max_results: Number of results (default 10, max 20)
    include_answer: Generate an AI answer that synthesizes the search results (adds 10 credits)
    include_domains: Only include results from these domains, as bare hostnames like "github.com" (max 10)
    exclude_domains: Exclude results from these domains, as bare hostnames (max 10)
    topic: "general" for web search, "news" for news articles. use "news" for current events, breaking news, politics, or any time-sensitive query
    freshness: Filter by recency - "day", "week", "month", "year", or "YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD"
```
