## Only reads (4)

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

### `compare_translations`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One segment of the canon in the Pali root and every available translation side by side. Use a segment id from search/get_text, e.g. "mn129:21.3". Sujato (en_sujato) is excluded unless named in translators.
```

### `get_text`

- The name "get_text" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a sutta by id (e.g. "dn22", "mn1", "sn56.11") — the Pali root text of every segment. Pali only by default; pass langs for translations, translators to name a translator (e.g. ["en_sujato"]). Same data as dhamma.gift/api/text.
```

### `list_structure`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What texts exist. Without arguments: collections (sutta/vinaya/abhidhamma/khuddaka), books by id prefix with sutta counts, and translation languages with translators. With prefix (e.g. "mn", "sn56", "an4"): the suttas under it with titles.
```

### `search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Pali Canon on dhamma.gift by keyword/substring or REGEX (min 3 letters, no semantic search). Patterns like "kata.*dukkha", "vucc.*dukkha", "katha.*dukkha" find the canon's own definitions and expositions of a term. Returns a CENSUS of every matching sutta — id, title, match count, metaphor count, reader link — Pali only, ordered so that suttas that DEFINE the term come first, then ones NAMED after it, then by how often it occurs. Set include_segments for the matched Pali lines, include_translations (+ langs) for translations. 40 suttas by default (25 by occurrence count, plus 15 for suttas named after the term and ones defining it); metadata.totalFiles reports the true count, and limit takes a number or "all".
```
