## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `cost_index`

- 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
Rank a segment of the catalogue by true monthly cost of ownership, cheapest first, with the segment's cheapest, median and most expensive figures.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `compare_true_cost`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare two cars' true monthly cost of ownership: which is cheaper, by how much per month and per year, and which cost line accounts for most of the gap. Differences under $10 a month are reported as a tie.
```

### `find_car`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the priced catalogue by make, model, trim or year and return matching cars with their slug and true monthly cost. Every word must match. Newest model years first.
```

### `get_true_cost`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One car's true monthly cost of ownership: loan, insurance, maintenance and fuel, the total per month and per year, whether each estimate is the car's own figure or a segment average, and its rank among comparable cars.
```
