Changes things 3Claude Code: ask
  • check_actionBefore a consequential action, ask whether the user's rules auto-approve it.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Before a consequential action, ask whether the user's rules auto-approve it. Returns auto_approve, needs_approval (with a plain-English approval card and a link the user can tap) or deny. Free plan is watch-only: it reports what it WOULD decide and logs it for the weekly report, but nothing counts as approved, so ask your user as you normally would.
  • set_rulesSave the user's rules (needs an API key so they stay yours).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "set_rules" says "set": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Save the user's rules (needs an API key so they stay yours). Each rule: {name, when:{type:[...], max_usd, min_usd, reversible, target_ends_with:[...]}, verdict:"auto"|"ask"|"deny"}. First matching rule wins; anything unmatched needs approval. Call once without confirm to preview, then with confirm=true.
  • weekly_reportDraft a plain-English report of the last 7 days: actions checked, how many your rules would auto-approve, how many needed you, top kinds of asks, and rule suggestions.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Draft a plain-English report of the last 7 days: actions checked, how many your rules would auto-approve, how many needed you, top kinds of asks, and rule suggestions. Read-only; sends nothing.
Only reads 3Claude Code: allow
  • get_decisionCheck whether the user approved or rejected an approval card (by card_id and card_token).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_decision" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Check whether the user approved or rejected an approval card (by card_id and card_token). Only act when status is approved.
  • get_rulesShow the rules in effect for your key (or the default starter rules).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_rules" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Show the rules in effect for your key (or the default starter rules).
  • usage_and_upgradeShow today's usage for your key or IP and the $49/month All Access upgrade link (cloudforbots.com/offer).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "show": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Show today's usage for your key or IP and the $49/month All Access upgrade link (cloudforbots.com/offer). Free tier: 200 calls/day. Not metered.

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.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. It assumes the server is installed as approve. Review it before you use it.
