## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (4)

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

### `look_up_word`

- 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
Look up an English word in Spelling Bee Hive's catalogue of more than a hundred thousand words: its correct spelling, a pronunciation guide, part of speech, language of origin, definitions and an example sentence, its Spelling Bee Hive difficulty level and practice set, and any spelling bee it was a winning word in. Includes links to the word's page and a recording of it. Use it to check a spelling, or for the clues a speller may ask for in a bee.
```

### `trending_words`

- 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
Words people have recently been searching for how to spell, say or define, grouped by topic, each with a short spelling tip and a link to its page.
```

### `winning_words`

- 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
Winning words of past spelling bees, newest first: the national championship back to 1925 and national and regional bees around the world, each with a link to the word's page. Filter by part of a competition's name (for example "Scripps" or "Ghana") or by year. With no filter it returns the most recent national championship winners.
```

### `words_of_the_year`

- 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
Each major English dictionary's Word of the Year for a year, with how to say it, what it means and a spelling tip. A pick that has not been announced yet says when it is expected.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `practice_words`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get words to quiz a speller on, picked at random from one of Spelling Bee Hive's free practice sets at the chosen difficulty: levels 1-3 are School, 4-6 Advanced and 7-9 Champion, where 1 is the easiest and 9 is national-final difficulty. Each word comes with what a bee's pronouncer can give - pronunciation, part of speech, definition, language of origin and an example sentence - and a recording. Run it like a bee: say the word, give those clues when asked, and only reveal the spelling after the speller has answered.
```
