2 checks matched something in the tool definitions. No finding is not a safety guarantee. How the checks work.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

  • Warnbuild_map_link

    The server marks "build_map_link" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "build_map_link" says "link": a word for a change.

Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • rank_districtsUse for best/worst/highest/lowest questions over many districts — "worst 20 districts for child stunting in Uttar Pradesh".No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • 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
    Use for best/worst/highest/lowest questions over many districts — "worst 20 districts for child stunting in Uttar Pradesh". Check the indicator's `polarity` in the result before calling a tail "worst": for a higher-worse indicator the worst districts are `order: "desc"`, for higher-better they are `order: "asc"`. Districts the source never covered sort last in both directions and are never presented as an extreme.

  • compare_districtsUse when the question names two or more places and asks how they differ — "compare Pune and Nagpur on literacy and bank credit".No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "compare_districts" says "compare": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use when the question names two or more places and asks how they differ — "compare Pune and Nagpur on literacy and bank credit". One call, not one get_district per district. Write an ambiguous name as "Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh".

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Compare districts
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • find_indicatorUse FIRST, before any other tool, whenever a question names a subject rather than an indicator id — "stunting", "land inequality", "bank credit".1 finding

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_indicator" says "find": a word for reading.

      Matched text

      description: "Use FIRST, before any other tool, whenever a question names a subject ra..."

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use FIRST, before any other tool, whenever a question names a subject rather than an indicator id — "stunting", "land inequality", "bank credit". Returns matching indicator ids with their unit, source, vintage, caveat and district coverage. Every other tool needs an id from here; ids are not guessable and inventing one fails.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Find an indicator
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • get_districtUse when the question is about one named place — "tell me about Bilaspur", "what is Pune's literacy rate".No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_district" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use when the question is about one named place — "tell me about Bilaspur", "what is Pune's literacy rate". Resolves an Indian district name, including common alternative spellings, to its objectid and returns its values. Four district names are shared by two states, so if the name is ambiguous this returns every match with its state and no data: ask the user which one, then call again with `state`.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Get one district
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • get_methodologyUse whenever the answer will state a number to a user, and always when asked how a figure was produced, how old it is, or whether it can be trusted.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_methodology" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use whenever the answer will state a number to a user, and always when asked how a figure was produced, how old it is, or whether it can be trusted. Returns the source, vintage, definition, caveat, estimation method, licence attribution and the citation string for one indicator, or for the dataset as a whole when no indicator is given. Do not describe a number as measured or estimated without checking here — each district carries its own `estimated` flag.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Get methodology and citation
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
