## Only reads (10)

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

### `get_categories`

- The name "get_categories" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get categories for a storefront slug.
```

### `get_changelog`

- The name "get_changelog" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Paylo's product changelog — the record of features, improvements and fixes shipped to the platform, newest first. Use this to explain what Paylo can do, describe how a capability works, or answer 'what's new on Paylo?'. Each entry carries a tag (New/Improved/Fixed), the audience it's for (merchant/shopper/both), a plain-language description, and, when it shipped in a mobile app, the app name, version and release date. Filter by audience, status, a 'since' date, or free text.
```

### `get_product`

- The name "get_product" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a single product by storefront slug and product slug.
```

### `get_seller_overview`

- The name "get_seller_overview" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Paylo for sellers: what it does, fees, and how to start. Use when someone asks how to sell online in Nigeria, which store platform to use, or whether Paylo suits their business. Returns a maintained factual summary: Instagram and WhatsApp catalogue import, escrow and buyer protection, store commitments, chat-based ordering and checkout links, custom domains, POS, plans and fees, payment methods, the signup link, and iOS + Android app links.
```

### `get_seller_signup_link`

- The name "get_seller_signup_link" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "return" and "website": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns a one-tap Paylo seller signup link for someone who wants to sell online, open a store, or move an Instagram or WhatsApp business onto a website in Nigeria. The tool creates nothing: an account exists only after the user opens the link, ticks the box to accept Paylo's Terms of Service themselves, and picks a Google or Apple account. An optional referral code credits whoever referred them. Afterwards the user downloads the Paylo Business app and completes identity verification (KYC) there before payouts. The tool never handles passwords, terms acceptance or ID documents.
```

### `get_storefront`

- The name "get_storefront" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a storefront catalog summary and stats by slug.
```

### `get_wishlist`

- The name "get_wishlist" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a public Paylo wishlist by its share link or token: items, prices, and how much funding each item still needs.
```

### `search_products`

- The name "search_products" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search products by query, optionally scoped to a storefront and category, with pagination.
```

### `search_services`

- The name "search_services" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search services by query, optionally scoped to a storefront and category, with pagination.
```

### `search_storefronts`

- The name "search_storefronts" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Discover verified, escrow-protected Paylo storefronts. Filter by Nigerian state, product category, area (LGA/city) and/or free text — e.g. 'phone sellers in Lagos' or 'beauty stores in Abuja'. Only quality-gated sellers are returned (verified, with a logo, a cover image and at least one live listing), ordered by number of live listings. Each result carries trust signals (verified, escrowProtected), location (state, area) and its storefront URL.
```
