## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `match_agencies`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
Pick an Agency's matching engine. Given a buyer brief (services needed, location, budget, industry), returns a short ranked shortlist of agencies that best fit - the same logic behind the free 'Get Matched' tool. WHEN TO USE: when the user describes their needs/project and wants a RECOMMENDATION ('I need a social media agency in Paris, ~$5k/month'). Requires at least one service. Use search_agencies instead for open browsing/filtering without a brief; use get_agency to drill into one result afterwards.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_agency`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a single agency's full profile from Pick an Agency by its slug (the last path segment of its profile URL), including description, location, rating, services, website and a few recent client reviews. WHEN TO USE: after search_agencies or match_agencies returned a result the user wants to know more about, or when the user names a specific agency whose slug you already know. Don't guess slugs - find them via search_agencies first.
```

### `search_agencies`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search Pick an Agency's directory of 47,000+ marketing agencies. Filter by free-text query, service (e.g. SEO, paid ads, social media), country, city, industry, and minimum rating. Returns the top matches with location, rating, reviews and profile link. WHEN TO USE: for browsing or filtering ('show me SEO agencies in Berlin', 'agencies named X') when the user wants a LIST to explore. Use match_agencies instead when the user describes their project/brief and wants a RECOMMENDATION; use get_agency for full detail on one specific agency.
```
