## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (6)

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

### `add_material_to_model`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Add a material (BOM line) to an existing cost model. Searches the materials database by name query — no need for exact IDs.
```

### `add_process_to_model`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Add a manufacturing process step to an existing cost model. Searches the process database by name query — no need for exact IDs.
```

### `calculate_cost_model`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Run the Monte Carlo should-cost calculation on a cost model. Returns P50 (median), P80 and P90 cost-at-risk per unit, plus a full cost breakdown (material, labour, machine, overhead, margin).
```

### `compare_manufacturing_countries`

- The name "compare_manufacturing_countries" says "compare": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Run the cost model across multiple manufacturing countries simultaneously to identify the optimal sourcing location. Returns P50/P80/P90 per country and % delta vs baseline.
```

### `create_cost_model`

- The name "create_cost_model" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a new parametric cost model in Costable. Returns the model ID which is used by add_material_to_model, add_process_to_model, calculate_cost_model, and compare_manufacturing_countries.
```

### `estimate_part`

- 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
Instantly estimate the should-cost of a manufactured part using natural language. Returns P50 (median), P80 and P90 cost-at-risk per unit based on Monte Carlo simulation of material price variance, labour rate variance and cycle time uncertainty. Use this for quick feasibility checks before building a full cost model.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_labour_rates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get manufacturing labour rates ($/hr) for all skill levels in a given country. Data covers 16 skill levels across 25 countries (ILO/BLS/ABS sourced).
```

### `review_supplier_quote`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Analyse a supplier quote against Costable's should-cost benchmarks. Returns a line-by-line delta (% over/under should-cost), verdict (LOW / COMPETITIVE / HIGH / VERY HIGH), and a list of the top items to challenge in negotiation.
```

### `search_materials`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Costable materials database (37 materials with LME-sourced pricing). Returns material name, category, price per kg, density, and strength properties.
```

### `search_processes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Costable manufacturing process database (41 processes). Returns process name, category, machine rate ($/hr), and cycle time model.
```
