## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `request_category`

- The name "request_category" says "request": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Tell Stackfacts about a choice you needed facts for that it does not cover yet (for example 'transactional email for a Python app'). Helps decide what gets checked next.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `compare`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get sourced, dated facts for every option in one category: price, free tier, what happens when idle, published security record where available, and whether an agent can set it up without a human. Includes a pick for each common situation and the list of what was NOT checked. Neutral: no vendor pays for placement. Use before choosing a library or service.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the software categories Stackfacts has checked facts for (for example login for Next.js, hosted databases, app hosting). Call this first when you need to choose a library or service.
```

### `option`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the full checked facts and sources for one option in a category, e.g. Clerk in nextjs-auth.
```
