    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
    Checks dependencies (an object of package name to version range, as in package.json) against the npm registry. Returns packages that are a major version or more behind npm's latest, deprecated packages, and the current major to use. Useful before installing packages from memory.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_tool_pick_rate" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    For a developer tool (product name or npm package, e.g. 'Clerk', 'next-auth', '@supabase/supabase-js'), returns how often 6 AI models recommend it first, mention it, and actually use it in apps they build, with its rank and main competitor. Covers auth, databases and email.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

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.
