## 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.

### `give_feedback`

- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Send structured feedback about bugs, missing data, unclear behavior, or feature requests.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_latest_episodes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the most recent transcript-ready episodes across the full podcast catalog.
```

### `get_transcript`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a bounded transcript chunk for a specific episode using its show and episode GUIDs. Use `next_cursor` to continue reading.
```

### `search_episodes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search indexed podcast episodes by keyword or show name and return the show/episode GUIDs needed for transcript retrieval.
```

### `search_episodes_by_topic`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Semantic topic search across the podcast catalog. Unlike `search_episodes` (which does lexical/keyword matching), this tool understands meaning: a query for 'AI safety' will match episodes about 'AI alignment', 'AGI risk', or 'frontier model evaluation' even if they don't contain the exact phrase. Returns ranked episodes with the matched topic phrases so you can explain *why* each result is relevant before fetching the transcript. Best for conceptual or thematic queries — use `search_episodes` instead when the user is looking for a specific person, product, or verbatim phrase.
```
