## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.

```

### `check_service_temperature`

- 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

```

### `filter_materials_by_constraint`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

```

### `match_industry_materials`

### `quote_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
Use this tool to CALCULATE a 3D printing price. Provide material_name, color, lead_time (must match the 3dp-pricing dictionary), quantity, and either weight_g or volume_cm3 — or an uploaded file_key (obtained from /v1/uploads/presign + /v1/uploads/complete) which is parsed to get volume. This tool does NOT create an order; it returns part_price / total / order_url. Output is desensitized (no unit prices).
```

## Only reads (13)

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

### `compare_equipment`

```

### `compare_materials`

- The name "compare_materials" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `compare_processes`

- The name "compare_processes" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user wants to compare manufacturing processes (e.g. 'SLS vs FDM vs SLA comparison', 'which process has better tolerance: CNC or injection molding?'). Accepts 2–5 process IDs and optional metric list.
```

### `find_alternative_processes`

- The name "find_alternative_processes" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user asks 'what can replace FDM for this part?', 'alternative to CNC for low volumes?', or needs to switch process due to lead time / cost / material constraints.
```

### `find_equipment_by_process`

- The name "find_equipment_by_process" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user asks 'what machines can do SLS?', 'do you have equipment that can print 300mm × 300mm?', 'which printers support PEEK material?'. Returns matching equipment with build volumes, layer thickness, and availability status.
```

### `find_equivalent_materials`

- The name "find_equivalent_materials" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user wants alternatives to a specific material (e.g. 'what can replace SS304?', 'cheaper alternative to titanium'). Returns materials ranked by similarity score. Match criteria include strength, density, cost_tier, process_compat, thermal, corrosion.
```

### `get_equipment_qc_specs`

```

### `get_industry_requirements`

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user asks industry-specific requirements (e.g. 'what materials are used in aerospace?', 'what certifications does the medical device industry require?', 'typical tolerances for automotive parts?').
```

### `get_iso2768_tolerances`

- The name "get_iso2768_tolerances" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user asks about ISO 2768 tolerances (e.g. 'what is ISO 2768-m tolerance for 50mm?', 'ISO 2768 fine grade flatness?', 'general tolerance for machined parts'). Returns the ±tolerance value, range string, and applicable dimension range.
```

### `get_material_compliance`

- The name "get_material_compliance" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `get_material_process_compatibility`

- The name "get_material_process_compatibility" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `get_process_specs`

- The name "get_process_specs" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `search_materials`

- The name "search_materials" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use to resolve a user's material description (industry grade name like 'PA12', a colloquial term like 'nylon', a Chinese term, or a vague description) into concrete materials.csv entries. Unlike compare_materials/find_equivalent_materials (which need an exact known ID), this tool accepts messy input and returns a ranked list of candidates — use it as the first step when you don't already know the exact material_id. If multiple candidates come back, ask the user to pick one rather than guessing. Optionally narrow by category_hint (Plastic/Metal/Rubber/Resin/Powder Metals/Powder Polymers) or process_filter (e.g. 'Selective Laser Sintering', 'SLS', 'Injection Molding') when the context already implies a manufacturing process.
```
