## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `check_product`

- 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
Is this product recalled? Give whatever you have: a product name and brand, a UPC/EAN/GTIN barcode, a model number, an NDC drug code or a lot code. Returns matching recalls from 9 US agencies (CPSC, FDA, NHTSA, US Coast Guard, FAA and more) with a confidence level (exact, strong, possible), the reasons for each match and the agency source link, plus early-warning signals from 5 sources (NHTSA investigations, CPSC violation notices, SEC filings, Prop 65 notices, SaferProducts.gov incident reports) that name the same model, vehicle or brand. A signal is not a recall.
```

### `check_vehicle`

- 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
NHTSA recall campaigns for a vehicle, by 17-character VIN (decoded with NHTSA vPIC) or by make, model and year, plus live NHTSA consumer complaint counts for that make, model and year (not verified by NHTSA, not a safety determination). Give either vin, or make, model and year. Campaigns are filed for a make, model and year (model level); whether a campaign includes a vehicle, and whether its repair is done, is held in the vehicle maker's records, and any dealer of the make can check it with the VIN, free.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_recall`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full record for one recall id (for example "cpsc-24116", "fda-H-1339-2026", "nhtsa-26V631000", "fsis-001-2016"), with every identifier and the agency source link.
```

### `search_recalls`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-text search across recall records from 9 US agencies (CPSC, FDA, NHTSA, US Coast Guard, FAA and more), newest and most relevant first. Filter by category and date.
```
