Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • aggregatesSummary stats over the filtered set: totals, branch split, most-active officials, top tickers bought/sold (per individual stock), top sectors bought/sold, potential conflict count,…No findings

    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
    Summary stats over the filtered set: totals, branch split, most-active officials, top tickers bought/sold (per individual stock), top sectors bought/sold, potential conflict count, date range. Accepts the same branch/role/since/until/type/ticker filters as search — pass branch=congress + role=Senate + since=YYYY-MM-DD to scope. Use this BEFORE paginating search_trades when you only need ranked counts.
