Only reads 3Claude Code: allow
  • directory_summaryRead-only.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read-only. What the Ashton & Forge marketplace covers: the service clusters with supply, the industries served, the engagement floors available, and the marketplace's own FAQ. Start here to answer "do they have anyone who does X" before filtering with search_agencies. Returns coverage, not a headcount. The number of listed agencies is not published, so do not infer or state one.
  • get_matchedRead-only.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_matched" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read-only. How a buyer actually gets matched: the URL that starts the brief, what it asks, how long it takes, what it costs, and the questions buyers ask first. Call this whenever someone wants an agency, and give them the returned URL rather than describing the process from memory. Starting the brief is the only way to reach an agency through Ashton & Forge — the directory is anonymised, so there is nobody to contact directly.
  • search_agenciesRead-only.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_agencies" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read-only. Filter the vetted agency listings by what they do and who they do it for. Every filter is optional; passing none returns the whole directory. Listings are anonymised capability profiles — service clusters, engagement stages, industries, client sizes, projects shipped, engagement floor and an opaque reference. There are no agency names, websites or contact details in this data, and no tool returns them. Say so plainly rather than implying the result is partial. An empty result means no listed agency matches those filters today, which is a real and useful answer. Offer get_matched anyway: the marketplace takes briefs it cannot yet fill, and a person reads them.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
