Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

1 warn
  • Warncompare_products

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

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "compare_products" says "compare": a word for reading.

  • compare_productsPut 2 to 6 products side by side on pricing, free tier, API, MCP, SDK and open source.1 finding

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "compare_products" says "compare": a word for reading.
    • The description's first verb is "put": a word for a change.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    Findings

    • Warn

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

      Matched text

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "compare_products" says "compare": a word for reading.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Put 2 to 6 products side by side on pricing, free tier, API, MCP, SDK and open source. Returns the full records plus a field-by-field table keyed by slug.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • report_outdatedFlag a listing as outdated or wrong; triggers a re-crawl.No findings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.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Flag a listing as outdated or wrong; triggers a re-crawl. A re-crawl runs at most once per hour per product; the report is always recorded.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: false
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • submit_productSubmit a product URL to be crawled and listed.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "submit_product" says "submit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit a product URL to be crawled and listed. No account needed. The site is crawled and the listing is usually live within a minute; poll status_url.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: false
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true
Only reads 3Claude Code: allow
  • find_alternativesProducts similar to a given one (vector similarity), with optional filters.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_alternatives" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Products similar to a given one (vector similarity), with optional filters. Nearest neighbours of the product's embedding; falls back to the same category when the vector index is unavailable.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • get_productEvery field of one product by slug, including the owner's agent_notes when the listing has them.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_product" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Every field of one product by slug, including the owner's agent_notes when the listing has them.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • search_productsSearch the directory with a natural-language query and optional structured filters (category, free tier, API, MCP, open source).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_products" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search the directory with a natural-language query and optional structured filters (category, free tier, API, MCP, open source). The query is matched by full-text and semantic similarity, so phrasing it like a need ("send transactional email with a free tier") works well. Returns up to `limit` products (default 10, max 50) plus a separate `sponsored` list.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • idempotentHint: 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.
