  • research_businessesUse for a quick synchronous search when the user supplies one natural-language brief and can wait for results in the current tool call.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.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use for a quick synchronous search when the user supplies one natural-language brief and can wait for results in the current tool call. For durable progress, retry, export, or large agent workflows, use start_lead_search instead.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: false
    • openWorldHint: true

    Why it is in this group

    • 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
    Scan a named business or discover up to three businesses for recent recurring complaints. Returns individually sourced reviews and possible technical solutions. Coverage is sampled; unavailable reviews never mean no problems. Five scans per day. Google reviews require a configured provider.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "explain_crawdar" says "explain": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get result semantics, limits, interface URLs, and safe operating guidance. This tool does not consume a search.

    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • sandbox_businessesReturn deterministic fictional businesses without consuming provider capacity.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    Description, as the server wrote it

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • search_businessesUse for a quick synchronous search when target, geography, and qualification fields are already structured.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_businesses" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use for a quick synchronous search when target, geography, and qualification fields are already structured. Use research_businesses for a plain-language brief, or start_lead_search for durable asynchronous work.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true

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.
