## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `convert_units`

- The name "convert_units" says "convert": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Converts a value between units of length, mass, volume (US and imperial), area, speed, time, digital data (KB vs KiB, bits vs bytes), energy, pressure and temperature. Accepts common abbreviations (km, lb, fl oz, mph, °F, GiB). US customary units are used for cup/pint/quart/gallon unless you say imperial.
```

## Changes things (7)

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

### `business_days`

- 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
Works with business (working) days. mode "add": returns the date N business days after start_date (start_date itself is not counted; negative N goes backward; 0 returns start_date, or the next business day if start_date is not one). mode "count": counts business days from start_date to end_date, including both ends. Weekends default to Saturday and Sunday. Public holidays are NOT built in — pass them in "holidays".
```

### `calculate`

- The description's first verb is "evaluate": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Evaluates an arithmetic expression exactly, so you don't have to do mental math. Supports + - * / % ^ (or **), parentheses, constants pi/e/tau and functions: sqrt, cbrt, abs, round(x, digits), floor, ceil, trunc, sign, ln, log(x[, base]), log10, log2, exp, pow, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, atan2, min, max, hypot, factorial. Trig uses radians. Example: "(1250 * 1.08^5) - 1250".
```

### `convert_timezone`

- The name "convert_timezone" says "convert": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Converts a date/time from one time zone to another, correctly handling daylight saving time. If the input already includes an offset or 'Z', from_timezone is ignored.
```

### `date_add`

- The name "date_add" says "add": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Adds or subtracts a duration (years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds) to a date/time. Use negative numbers to subtract. Calendar-aware: adding 1 month to Jan 31 gives Feb 28/29, and adding days keeps the same local clock time across daylight-saving changes.
```

### `hash_text`

- 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
Computes a cryptographic hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) of text, or encodes/decodes it as Base64, Base64URL, hex or URL-encoding. Text is treated as UTF-8.
```

### `json_repair`

- 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
Turns almost-JSON into valid JSON: removes markdown code fences, comments and trailing commas, adds missing quotes, commas and closing brackets, converts single quotes, Python True/False/None and truncated output. Returns the repaired JSON string and whether the input was already valid.
```

### `regex_test`

- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs a JavaScript regular expression against text and returns every match with its position and capture groups, or the text after replacement. Use it to verify a regex actually works before relying on it.
```

## Only reads (8)

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

### `current_time`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the exact current date, time, weekday and UTC offset in any time zone. Use this whenever you need to know today's date or the current time instead of guessing — your training data does not know what day it is.
```

### `date_diff`

- The name "date_diff" says "diff": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Calculates the exact time between two dates/times: a calendar breakdown (years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds) plus totals in days, hours, minutes and seconds, and the number of calendar days. Negative if end is before start.
```

### `json_schema_validate`

- The name "json_schema_validate" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks a JSON value against a JSON Schema (drafts 4, 7, 2019-09 and 2020-12) and lists every violation with its location. Use it to confirm structured output or an API payload is correct before sending it. `data` and `schema` may be JSON values or JSON strings.
```

### `text_stats`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Counts exactly what language models are bad at counting: characters (as humans see them), words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, UTF-8 bytes, and occurrences of a letter or substring (e.g. how many "r" in "strawberry"). Use it to check length limits (tweets, SMS, meta descriptions, form fields) before submitting text.
```

### `validate_email`

- The name "validate_email" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks whether an email address is correctly formatted and returns a normalized version. Set check_dns=true to also confirm the domain exists and can receive mail (MX records). Does not send email and cannot confirm that a specific mailbox exists.
```

### `validate_iban`

- The name "validate_iban" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validates an International Bank Account Number: country, length for that country, and the mod-97 check digits. Returns electronic and printed formats. A valid IBAN is correctly formed; this does not confirm the account exists.
```

### `validate_phone`

- The name "validate_phone" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validates a phone number using Google's libphonenumber rules and returns it in E.164 (+14155552671), international and national formats, plus the country and line type (mobile, fixed line, toll free...). For numbers without a +country code, pass default_country.
```

### `validate_url`

- The name "validate_url" says "validate": a word for reading.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks that a URL is well-formed, normalizes it (lowercase host, punycode, default ports removed, spaces encoded) and splits it into parts including each query parameter. Flags common problems such as missing scheme, private/localhost addresses and credentials embedded in the URL. Does not fetch the URL.
```
