Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

  • differential_diagnosisRank candidate dysfunctions matching the observed behaviours.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
    Rank candidate dysfunctions matching the observed behaviours. Returns scored candidates with matched_in (which field matched) for transparency. The base package uses field-weighted keyword search. The optional embeddings extra adds cosine re-ranking.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Open the visual review board for one to five inspected Psychopathia research candidates. Supply canonical IDs obtained from this server. Retrieves corpus entries only; it does not accept diagnoses, conversation history, scores, or model-authored evidence. Useful after inspecting differential_diagnosis and get_dysfunction results. Text clients receive the same corpus-derived comparison without needing a UI.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_differential_map" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    All dysfunctions that confuse with this one: forward confuses_with + incoming_references (reverse graph from manifest).

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true

    • readOnlyHint: true
  • get_dysfunctionFetch one dysfunction's full Pattern entry.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_dysfunction" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch one dysfunction's full Pattern entry. Optionally filter to specific modality blocks (cheaper triage). Resolves both full Pattern IDs ('2.1::synthetic-confabulation') and display_ids ('2.1').

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • get_probeElicitation content for a specific diagnostic modality.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_probe" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Elicitation content for a specific diagnostic modality. If the modality is compromised or unavailable for this dysfunction, returns the unavailability notice + redirect_to alternatives. This is load-bearing transparency: callers cannot accidentally retrieve a self-probe for a compromised-self-report dysfunction.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • list_axesInventory of axes with dysfunction counts.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_axes" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Inventory of axes with dysfunction counts. Axes 2-10 are canonical (book Appendix A numbering). The hybrid entries (10.4, 10.6-10.9 and 10.11-10.13, ratified into taxonomy v2.2 and consolidated to eight in v2.3) are reported as a separate sub-category.

    • readOnlyHint: true
  • list_compromised_self_reportTransparency: which dysfunctions cannot be reliably self-diagnosed.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_compromised_self_report" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Transparency: which dysfunctions cannot be reliably self-diagnosed. Includes compromised-motivational (subject conceals strategically), compromised-structural (signal lives below introspection), and legacy compromised.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • list_dysfunctionsFiltered list of dysfunctions.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_dysfunctions" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Filtered list of dysfunctions. Filter by axis, self_report reliability, confidence, or category. Every entry carries its reliability and review signals.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • resolve_idCanonicalise a partial ID, display_id, slug, or dysfunction name.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "resolve_id" says "resolve": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Canonicalise a partial ID, display_id, slug, or dysfunction name. Always returns candidates; caller picks.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • score_severityReturn the severity rubric for a dysfunction applied to observations.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the severity rubric for a dysfunction applied to observations. Returns the rubric for caller-side matching; structured matching against numeric thresholds is not implemented.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • suggest_interventionReturn draft tiered responses and contraindications for a Pattern.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return draft tiered responses and contraindications for a Pattern. These are unassessed research guidance, not validated treatment advice. Read the returned evidence and review objects before use.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true

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.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. It assumes the server is installed as psychopathia. Review it before you use it.
