## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (6)

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

### `check_cart`

- 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
Check a shopping or gift list: for each item, which scored company it belongs to (if any), the cited
    facts Shoptegrity holds (parent, filings, shareholder payouts) and what is withheld. Items can be products,
    brands or stores, such as 'AirPods', 'Tide pods' or 'Walmart'. Up to 50 items.
```

### `check_deal`

- 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
Judge a sale price against Shoptegrity's recorded daily price history for a Shopify catalog product.
    Flags 'raised_then_lowered' when a price was pushed up before a sale. Works for Black Friday and
    Cyber Monday deals. product_id comes from responsible_alternatives.
```

### `check_seller`

- 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
Shoptegrity's cited ownership signals for a seller or brand name, or a plain statement that it has none
    (not a negative finding). Same data as lookup_brand, phrased for a seller you are about to buy from.
```

### `holiday_shopping_guide`

- 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
A plan for shopping with integrity on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday,
    Giving Tuesday or for holiday gifts: the date, days left, and which Shoptegrity tools to use at each step.
    occasion is black_friday, small_business_saturday, cyber_monday, giving_tuesday, christmas, or 'next'
    for the next one coming up. today is an ISO date and defaults to the server's date. For Black Friday,
    Cyber Monday and holiday gifts it also returns links to large retailers' own weekly-ad and deals pages.
```

### `rate_major_retailers`

- 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
Scorecards for the major retailers Shoptegrity covers (Walmart, Target, Costco, Amazon, Kroger, Dollar General,
    The Home Depot, WinCo Foods, Ace Hardware): parent company, revenue, net income and shareholder payouts from SEC
    filings, and ratings or swaps only where an editor approved them. Takes no arguments. Missing values are null (withheld).
```

### `verified_deals`

- 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
Products from independent Shopify sellers whose price Shoptegrity recorded dropping below its usual level.
    Shows real drops rather than headline discounts, for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. A drop counts only
    with at least 7 earlier days of recorded prices; prices raised before a sale never qualify. min_percent_off
    is 1-90. query filters by words in the title or seller. max_per_seller (default 3) keeps one seller's sale
    from filling the list. Largest drop first, never ordered by commission.
```

## Only reads (8)

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

### `browse_alternatives`

- The name "browse_alternatives" says "browse": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Alternatives to mainstream shopping that have a cited basis: employee-owned, cooperative, credit union,
    B Corp or family-owned sellers. structure filters by kind (for example 'employee-owned', 'cooperative',
    'credit union', 'b corp'); query filters by words in the name or the category it substitutes for
    (for example 'grocery' or 'hardware'). Each result carries the source that backs it. Not ranked by commission.
```

### `find_alternatives`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List alternatives for one brand that a Shoptegrity editor approved and that have a cited basis. Returns
    an empty list, with a note, when none are approved yet; browse_alternatives lists cited employee-owned,
    cooperative and independent options by category instead. Alternatives are not ranked by commission.
```

### `find_local_businesses`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Local businesses near a US ZIP code or a town and state, such as '55401' or 'Duluth, MN': Shoptegrity's
    directory (co-ops, markets, credit unions; pilot areas) plus independent shops anywhere in the US (books,
    gifts, toys, food, markets, grocery, hardware, clothing, secondhand, outdoors, home, music), for Small
    Business Saturday or any local shopping. category narrows either list; radius_km is 0.1 to 500 (default 25;

```

### `get_retailer_swaps`

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up one brand, store or company by name: its cited parent company, ownership type, source links and,
    for scored brands, a Shoptegrity composite score (an opinion). Use it for a single known name. Fields without a
    cited source come back null and are listed as withheld. A name Shoptegrity does not have returns an error that
    is not a negative finding about the company.
```

### `lookup_brand_integrity`

- The name "lookup_brand_integrity" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
In-depth cited metrics for one brand: the split of revenue among workers, executives and shareholders,
    labor records, and waste, plus SEC filing figures where they exist. Every field without a cited source is
    null and listed under withheld_claims. Grades and ratings are Shoptegrity opinions.
```
