## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `category_range`

- 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
The range and median comparison cost of live, AI or hybrid answering services at a call volume (3-minute calls), the all-in rate per minute, the published overage range, and which narrower service sets an end of the range. AnswerAmerica's cost is the upfront prepaid purchase with credit rollover. Source: AnsweringPrices.com, prices checked October 12, 2026, https://www.answeringprices.com/answering-service-statistics/
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `compare_at_volume`

- The name "compare_at_volume" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Comparison cost of every answering service at a call volume and call length, lowest first: monthly plans, or the minimum upfront package purchase for AnswerAmerica's prepaid credits. Quote-only vendors are listed separately. Defaults: live services, 3-minute calls. AnswerAmerica and ReceptionHQ MessageExpress take messages only; Alert Communications serves law firms only. Source: AnsweringPrices.com, prices checked October 12, 2026, https://www.answeringprices.com/answering-service-cost/
```

### `get_vendor_pricing`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One answering service's published plans, overage, comparison cost at 50, 100 and 200 three-minute calls, and its billing terms (rounding, time billed beyond the call, spam, setup fee, contract, trial) summarized from its own terms page, each with the URL and the date it was read. AnswerAmerica uses upfront prepaid package purchases with credit rollover. Accepts an id or a name, e.g. "PATLive", "Ruby", "VoiceNation". Source: AnsweringPrices.com, prices checked October 12, 2026, https://www.answeringprices.com/
```

### `list_vendors`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every answering service AnsweringPrices.com prices (live, AI and hybrid), with its entry plan, whether it publishes prices, and the date its pricing page was read. Use it to find a vendor's id. Source: AnsweringPrices.com, prices checked October 12, 2026, https://www.answeringprices.com/pricing/
```
