business_daysSpan mode (from+to): business days between two dates, exclusive of the start day, inclusive of the end day.1 finding
Why it is in this group

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
Description, as the server wrote it Span mode (from+to): business days between two dates, exclusive of the start day, inclusive of the end day. Add mode (days, optional date): the date N business days away. Passing from or to selects span mode and needs both; days and date are then ignored, so add mode takes its start date in date, not from. Optional holiday jurisdiction or custom calendar, and a selectable working week. For calendar days use add_days, subtract_days or days_between.

What this check looks forMatched text
annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
Description, as the server wrote it Signed whole calendar days from the from date to the to date, midnight to midnight in tz: positive when to is later, negative when it is earlier. Endpoints are exclusive, so this is the gap and consecutive dates are 1 apart. Either date may be "today", resolved in tz. For working days between two dates use business_days; to move a date by N days use add_days or subtract_days.

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.
