## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `livonian_romanize`

- 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
Strip Livonian orthography down to clean, pronounceable ASCII for an
English-trained downstream (a voice/TTS, a search box). See the `text` parameter
doc for the exact letter mappings. Returns Markdown plus the romanized output as
structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema. Pure local transform: no
dictionary lookup, no network, and the output is always ASCII.

```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `livonian_deromanize`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find the real Livonian word(s) whose pronunciation-romanization matches this
clean-ASCII input — the inverse direction of `livonian_romanize`. Because
romanize is lossy, this is a LOOKUP against the words already in the dictionary
cache: attested spellings come back as source=dictionary. If none match, a single
best-effort reconstruction is returned (source=reconstruction, approximate=true) —
a guess, not attested. Coverage grows as words are cached, so an identical query
may return a reconstruction now and a dictionary hit later.

```

### `livonian_get_inflections`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the full declension (nouns) or conjugation (verbs) table for a word
identified by a search result's inflection handle (entry_id + word_class) — the
exact case, number, tense, not a guessed ending. Use this only when a search ran
without inline forms, or to fetch a match a broad search left un-expanded. Never a
first call — the handle values only come from livonian_search results, and a
default search already returns each match's table inline, so calling this
afterwards just re-fetches what you have.

Returns Markdown — a nominal gets one case × {singular, plural} table; a verb gets a table
per mood/tense (person × {affirmative, negative}, the negation auxiliary folded
into the negative) plus its principal-parts and participle lists — or a clean
not-found message. (Grammatical labels are normalised to English; Livonian forms
stay verbatim.) The same table rides along as structuredContent with the shape
{"result": <paradigm>} per the declared outputSchema — switch on
result.category ('nominal' | 'verbal' | 'not_found') before reading the body.
Results are cached server-side (repeats are instant) and
calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry.
Table content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).

```

### `livonian_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look a word up in the real Livonian–Estonian–Latvian dictionary and return only
attested content, so translations are grounded, not invented.

Search a meaning (in English/Latvian/Estonian) to find the Livonian headword, or a
Livonian word to confirm it exists and read its sense, part of speech and examples.
See the `query` and `search_language` parameter docs for how to phrase a query. By
default each match's full inflection table is returned inline, so one call usually
suffices; on a broad query only the first N tables expand (the rest are listed as
handles to fetch with livonian_get_inflections). Returns Markdown plus the same result as
structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema.

Results are cached server-side, so repeating a query is instant and free; a
first-time query reaches the live dictionary and calls are rate limited — on a
rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry instead of re-issuing immediately.
Dictionary content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).
