## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (3)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `calculate_bearing`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Calculate the initial true bearing between two GPS coordinates.
```

### `calculate_distance`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Calculate great-circle and rhumb-line routes between two GPS coordinates.
```

### `convert_speed`

- The name "convert_speed" says "convert": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Convert a speed value between knots, mph, km/h, m/s, and ft/s.
```

## Changes things (2)

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

### `calculate_cross_track_error`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Calculate cross track error (XTE) — the perpendicular distance from a vessel position to the great-circle track between two waypoints — plus side of track (port/starboard) and along-track distances.
```

### `convert_coordinates`

- The name "convert_coordinates" says "convert": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Parse latitude and longitude and format them as decimal degrees or DMS.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `list_tools`

- The name "list_tools" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the public Mariner GPS Tools calculators currently available.
```
