Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • get_currencyReturn the ISO 4217 record for a currency: its code, name, symbol, how many decimal places it uses, and every country that uses it.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_currency" says "get": a word for reading.
    • The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the ISO 4217 record for a currency: its code, name, symbol, how many decimal places it uses, and every country that uses it.
Only reads 5Claude Code: allow
  • get_public_holidaysReturn the public holidays for a country and calendar year, with each holiday's date, name and type.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_public_holidays" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the public holidays for a country and calendar year, with each holiday's date, name and type. Names are returned in English wherever the country publishes it; pass a language code for others (Kenya also publishes Swahili).
  • list_banksList every bank and financial institution held for a country, with its bank code, SWIFT/BIC, USSD shortcode and mobile-money flag.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_banks" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List every bank and financial institution held for a country, with its bank code, SWIFT/BIC, USSD shortcode and mobile-money flag. Use this to build a bank picker or to reconcile a list of institutions.
  • lookup_bankIdentify an African bank from any identifier you hold: its name, domestic sort/bank code, SWIFT/BIC code, or USSD shortcode.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "lookup_bank" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Identify an African bank from any identifier you hold: its name, domestic sort/bank code, SWIFT/BIC code, or USSD shortcode. Works as a reverse lookup, so pass a bare SWIFT code like 'NLCBTZTX' to find out which institution it belongs to. Returns the bank's name, country, type, bank code, SWIFT/BIC, USSD shortcode and whether it supports mobile money.
  • lookup_phone_networkResolve an African phone number to its mobile network operator from the number's prefix.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "lookup_phone_network" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Resolve an African phone number to its mobile network operator from the number's prefix. Accepts local or international format. Useful for routing a mobile-money payout to the right provider or validating a number before sending an OTP.
  • resolve_nubanWork out which Nigerian banks a 10-digit NUBAN account number could belong to.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "resolve_nuban" says "resolve": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Work out which Nigerian banks a 10-digit NUBAN account number could belong to. The CBN check digit is computed from the bank code plus the first nine digits, so testing the number against every bank code narrows a shortlist without contacting any bank. Typically reduces ~30 banks to ~3. This confirms checksum validity only: it does NOT confirm the account exists, and it never returns the account holder's name, which requires a licensed NIBSS account-name enquiry.

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.
