## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_balance`

- 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
How many credits this API key has left, what each kind of read costs, and where to buy more (links need no sign-in; the credit pack takes Alipay). Without a key it returns the prices and how to get a key. Call it before a batch of reads, or when digest_url says credits ran out.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `compare_links`

- The name "compare_links" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a set of Xiaohongshu, Douyin, TikTok, YouTube or X links as one batch and write one comparison over them (批量综合): the themes, hooks, formats and claims they share, the objections readers raise and the gaps none of them cover, every example naming which link it came from and checked against it word for word. The first call starts the batch and returns a batch id; call again with batch_id to collect. Needs an API key. Each link is read at its usual price (cached links are free); the comparison is 1 credit per 10 links. Example: urls=["https://xhslink.com/o/a", "https://xhslink.com/o/b"]. After the browser extension's “Digest the notes on this page” button, call list_batches and pass the newest batch_id here.
```

### `digest_url`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read what a social media link actually says. Works on Xiaohongshu, Douyin, TikTok, YouTube, X and ordinary web pages. Returns the post's transcript with times, on-screen text, the text in every image, caption and counts, key points each backed by a quote checked against the post (`key_point_support` in json), and a receipt of what was read (`coverage` in json). Bilibili, Instagram and Facebook are not supported. Works without an API key for a first look (a summary, two a day per address); the full output needs a key — see check_balance. If the result names a job id, call again with job_id only. Example: url="https://v.douyin.com/abc/", ask="推荐了什么产品、多少钱？".
```

### `list_batches`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The last batches on this API key, newest first — including the ones the browser extension's “Digest the notes on this page” button started from the user's own Xiaohongshu or Douyin tab. Each line: batch_id, label, created, status done/total, credits, synthesis (ready, pending, failed or none). Pass a batch_id to compare_links to read the comparison. Starts nothing, costs nothing. Needs an API key.
```

### `search_links`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find posts on a topic on xiaohongshu, douyin, youtube, x, web (web search scoped to the platform, filtered to links digest_url can read). Free: no credits, 10 searches an hour per key. Returns a numbered list; pass digest: true to read them as one batch and compare them (then compare_links with the batch_id). xiaohongshu returns the notes the web has indexed, read from their public pages (no login, no session); for the user's own feed or a search the web has not seen, they press the extension's “Digest the notes on this page” button on the page they see, then list_batches. douyin returns the video pages the web has indexed, each read through Douyin's own embed player like a pasted link; Chinese words find the most. Needs an API key. Example: query="护肤 早C晚A", platform="xiaohongshu", limit=5.
```
