## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (2)

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

### `convert_duration`

- The name "convert_duration" 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 duration between units and get it in plain language. Use it to express a timeout in the unit the caller asked for, or to check whether a limit is seconds, minutes or milliseconds. ($0.003 per call)
```

### `time_until`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
How much time is between two instants: the direction, the total in every unit, and a day/hour/minute/second breakdown. Use it to compute a retry delay, a rate-limit reset, or whether a deadline has passed. ($0.003 per call)
```

## Changes things (6)

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

### `add_duration`

- The name "add_duration" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Add a duration to an instant and get the result, in UTC and in Tehran local time. Use it for a TTL, a lock expiry, or a token lifetime. ($0.003 per call)
```

### `content_type_advice`

- The name "content_type_advice" says "type": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check whether a Content-Type header matches what an endpoint kind expects, and say what to send instead when it does not. ($0.003 per call)
```

### `mime_type`

- The name "mime_type" says "type": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up a MIME type by full type or by file extension: the top-level type, what it is for, and the usual file extension. ($0.003 per call)
```

### `retry_advice`

- 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
Decide how a client should react to a status code: retry with backoff, check the outcome before retrying, or do not retry. Includes a suggested backoff schedule. ($0.005 per call)
```

### `unix_time`

- The description's first verb is "convert": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Convert between a date and a Unix timestamp, in either direction. Use it when a payload carries one and the other is needed. ($0.003 per call)
```

### `weekday_of`

- 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
Which day of the week a date falls on, and whether it is a business day. Use it before scheduling work or setting a deadline that lands on a weekend. ($0.003 per call)
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `business_days_between`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Count the business days between two dates, excluding weekends. Use it to turn a calendar deadline into a working-day deadline. Public holidays are not excluded, so the count is an upper bound. ($0.005 per call)
```

### `describe_instant`

- The name "describe_instant" says "describe": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Describe an instant: its date, weekday and time in UTC and in Tehran local time (UTC+03:30), plus the Unix timestamp. Use it when a response carries a timestamp and the local date matters. ($0.003 per call)
```

### `http_method`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `http_status`

- The name "http_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `list_mime_types`

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