## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `flip_score`

- 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
BidProwl's deal score for a live listing, with its condition-adjusted tier.
```

### `sold_comps`

- 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
Sold-price stats from 250,000+ closed government auctions, nearly all from the last 12 months. Category+state aggregates, or exact percentile comps for a live listing via listing_id.
```

### `sold_comps_batch`

- 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
Up to 25 sold_comps lookups in one call (100 on Pro+), each costing one API call. Each query is a listing id, a tracked item slug ("forklift"), a category ("vehicles"), or text naming a tracked item ("2015 Ford F150"). Item-level and per-listing answers need Pro or Pro+; categories work on every plan. Amounts are in cents.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_api_usage`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
This API key's plan, monthly call limit, calls used, calls remaining and when the quota resets (first of next month, UTC). Free to call: it does not count against the quota.
```

### `get_listing`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a single listing by its BidProwl id or slug.
```

### `get_sold_history`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The actual sold lots behind a comps number, newest close first: title, final price (cents), close date, state, source, BidProwl link. Pass one of category, item (tracked item slug) or q (free text, matched like a listing title), plus optional state. Paginate with cursor.
```

### `search_listings`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search 90,000+ live US government surplus auction listings from 27 official sources. Supports keyword, category, state, ZIP-radius, and price filters.
```
