trace_evolutionOne speaker's takes in order of episode publication date (optionally on one debate) — reversals and re-assertions visible, never judged.No findings
Why it is in this group
- 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 One speaker's takes in order of episode publication date (optionally on one debate) — reversals and re-assertions visible, never judged. Attribute and date every position (dates are episode publication dates); keep hedged claims hedged. A 2023 position is a 2023 position; if the same person later said otherwise, show both.

find_perspectivesRoute a founder's dilemma to the debates that genuinely bear on it.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "find_perspectives" says "find": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Route a founder's dilemma to the debates that genuinely bear on it. Present the readings SEPARATELY — never merge them into one answer. Respect the question's altitude: scale-up material does not answer a pre-PMF dilemma. When coverage is thin it says so — advise from general knowledge rather than stretching a weak match. Returns ≤4 debates and ≤36 stances — a sample, not the full set; get_stances(debate_id) has a debate's complete stances, each with speaker, date, strength and a receipt.

- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
get_contextThe transcript around one claim — the moment in context, with its receipt.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_context" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it The transcript around one claim — the moment in context, with its receipt. Spoken: the episode's public transcript, windowed ±90s around the claim's timestamp. Written (an essay): the verbatim excerpt snapshotted at digest plus a link into the original; never the surrounding text, never a live fetch. Quote the receipt — episode + timestamp, or essay link + excerpt — so the founder can check the moment.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Get the transcript around a claim
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
get_stancesEvery stance on one debate, grouped by reading — raw material for your own who-would-push-back read.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_stances" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Every stance on one debate, grouped by reading — raw material for your own who-would-push-back read. No synthesis. Attribute and date every position (dates are episode publication dates); keep hedged claims hedged. The graph never says who opposes whom — work out yourself which positions push back on the founder's leaning, and name them.

list_debatesBrowse the debate registry: id, question, readings, stance count, born (earliest publication date).Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_debates" says "list": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "browse": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
Description, as the server wrote it Browse the debate registry: id, question, readings, stance count, born (earliest publication date). Optional query: a debate matches when its question has every word of it, case-insensitive, word forms folded (hire/hiring, co-founder/cofounder). Browsing only — it does not rank against a question; use find_perspectives for that. Defaults to debates with 2+ stances, 120 rows a page — page with offset.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.
- Reads private data0
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write1
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out0
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

}Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as perspectives. Review it before you use it.
