## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_compatibility`

- 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 if a smart home device fits a user's existing setup using SmartHomeExplorer's proprietary Compatibility Engine. Evaluates across 7 ecosystems (Google Home, Alexa, HomeKit, SmartThings, Matter, Hubitat, Home Assistant), 8 wireless protocols, hub requirements, and subscription cost stacking. Returns a compatibility score (0-100) and verdict (great-fit / works / caution / poor-fit). This cross-ecosystem analysis is unique to SmartHomeExplorer — no other public service evaluates device-to-device compatibility across platforms. Methodology at smarthomeexplorer.com/she-score-methodology.
```

## Only reads (4)

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