## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `check_email_auth`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
Live SPF, DKIM and DMARC audit of up to 50 domains the user owns or asks about. Returns a per-domain breakdown plus a portfolio grade. Compare against the base rates: most of the web fails these controls. Rate-limited per client.
```

### `check_subdomain_takeover`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
Live scan of one domain: enumerate its subdomains (CT logs + DNS), then test each for dangling references on 13 cloud providers. Slow on large domains (up to a few minutes). Rate-limited per client.
```

### `check_whois`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
Live WHOIS lookup for up to 100 domains: expiry date, registrar, nameservers. Use to catch registrations about to lapse. Rate-limited per client.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `find_base_rate`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Quiet Failures base rates by keyword (e.g. "dmarc", "certificate expiry uk", "subdomain takeover"). Returns matching metrics and their most citable segments.
```

### `get_base_rate`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full detail for one Quiet Failures base rate segment: the figure with confidence interval, how it is measured, why it matters, the limits of the measurement, the recent time series, and the canonical source URL to cite. Segment defaults to "global"; country slugs (gb, fr, us…) and company cuts (gb-companies, gb-small…) are also published.
```

### `list_base_rates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Catalog of all published Quiet Failures base rates: metric id, the global question, the current global figure, sample size, severity, and every published segment slug (valid `segment` values for get_base_rate). Use get_base_rate for full detail on one.
```
