## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `convert_timezone`

- The name "convert_timezone" says "convert": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Convert a time between time zones with daylight saving applied (you cannot do this reliably yourself). from/to accept IANA zones (Africa/Johannesburg), common abbreviations (SAST, EST, PST, GMT, CET, IST=India, CST=US Central) or big cities. Omit time for now. Returns each local date, time, UTC offset, abbreviation, hour difference and whether it is the next/previous day.
```

## Changes things (8)

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

### `convert_timestamp`

- The name "convert_timestamp" says "convert": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Convert a Unix timestamp (seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds, auto-detected) to a readable date, or a date/time string (e.g. 2026-12-25 09:00, read in the given time zone unless it has its own offset) to a Unix timestamp. Also returns weekday, ISO week and how long ago or until.
```

### `date_calc`

- 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
Exact calendar maths. With end: days between two dates (plus weeks, months+days, weekdays Mon-Fri, weekend days). With add_days/add_weeks/add_months/add_years (negative to subtract): the resulting date and weekday; business_days=true skips weekends. Use this instead of counting days yourself.
```

### `estimate_ai_cost`

- 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
Estimate token count and USD API cost of a text across major AI models (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini), and whether it fits each context window. Token counts are approximate. Pass text, or tokens directly.
```

### `make_qr_code`

- The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a static QR code (never expires) for a URL, Wi-Fi string (WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:pass;;), mailto:, tel: or any text up to 2000 characters. Returns an SVG string plus a ferntool.com image URL that renders the same code.
```

### `pick_random`

- 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
Fairly pick random winners from a list, shuffle a list, or split people into random even teams, using a cryptographically secure generator (you cannot choose fairly at random yourself). Use for giveaways, raffles, "who goes first", random order or team splits. An item listed twice has twice the chance unless dedupe=true.
```

### `random_number`

- 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
Fair, cryptographically secure random integers (you cannot produce real randomness yourself). min and max are inclusive. unique=true for no repeats (raffles, lotto, picking winners). For a coin flip use min 0, max 1; for dice use min 1, max 6.
```

### `reverse_dns`

- 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
Reverse DNS (PTR) lookup for an IPv4/IPv6 address, with forward-confirmation check.
```

### `subnet_calc`

- 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
IPv4/IPv6 CIDR subnet calculator: network, netmask, wildcard, broadcast, first/last usable host, total and usable addresses, block type.
```

## Only reads (9)

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

### `ai_service_status`

- The name "ai_service_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Live status of AI services (ChatGPT/OpenAI, Claude, Gemini API, GitHub Copilot, Perplexity, Cohere) read from their official status pages, cached ~60s. level is up, degraded, down or unknown.
```

### `batch_lookup_ip`

- The name "batch_lookup_ip" says "lookup": a word for reading.

```untrusted-server-text
Look up 1-100 IPv4/IPv6 addresses at once. Each result has version, scope, country, timezone, ASN, network owner and flags (is_tor, is_datacenter, provider).
```

### `count_words`

- The name "count_words" says "count": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Exactly count words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs in a text, with reading/speaking time and the most repeated words. Use this instead of estimating counts yourself.
```

### `dns_lookup`

- The name "dns_lookup" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `lookup_ip`
