## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `category_opportunity_report`

- 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
PAID (x402, $0.03 USDC on Base). Full off-patent opportunity report for a category slug (see list_categories): every newly-expirable design patent with computed expiry, CPSC recall-safety band, and OFAC/OIG supplier screen, ranked by actionability. Free callers get a preview + x402 challenge.
```

### `newly_expirable`

- 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
Cross-category feed of design patents that just became (or are about to become) free to make — i.e. fresh off-patent private-label opportunities, soonest-expiry first, already recall- and supplier-screened.
```

### `screen_patent`

- 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
Screen ONE US patent by publication number (e.g. USD689332S1): compute its statutory expiry/status, join CPSC recall-safety for its category, and run an OFAC/OIG screen on the assignee. Returns the freedom-to-operate read (design-patent scope; not legal advice).
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `list_categories`

- The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the private-label product categories Patent-Gap tracks for expiring design patents.
```
