browsercompat_check_baselineCheck whether web features are safe to ship: Baseline state and the date it crossed, the browser and version that limits support, whether the feature is deprecated or discouraged, …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 Check whether web features are safe to ship: Baseline state and the date it crossed, the browser and version that limits support, whether the feature is deprecated or discouraged, and the share of tracked global traffic that requiring it would exclude. Evaluates up to 20 BCD keys or web-features ids per call; up to 100 may be sent, and entries past the 20th come back unevaluated in omitted_features for the next call.

browsercompat_compare_supportCompute whether a set of web features clears an explicit browserslist target query.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "browsercompat_compare_support" says "compare": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Compute whether a set of web features clears an explicit browserslist target query. Compares up to 20 features per call; up to 100 may be sent, and entries past the 20th come back unevaluated in omitted_features for the next call. Every call evaluates the whole query: each feature gets a verdict, the count of failing targets, those targets grouped into runs of consecutive query targets per browser in failing_ranges, and its own evaluated and unevaluated target counts with the share of tracked traffic each covers. The target rows behind those numbers — which release each target maps to, which targets were not evaluated and why, and the failing and unevaluated targets of each feature, a failing row carrying the prefix, alternative name, or flag behind its verdict — cover at most ten query targets per call; page through them with target_offset and target_limit, and the verdicts, coverage, and totals stay identical on every page. A target counts as evaluated only where compatibility data was read for it, so a feature clears only when every target in the query was evaluated and supports it, and is inconclusive otherwise — a query that includes a browser with no compatibility data, as "defaults" does, never clears. A BCD key is judged on its own per-browser support. A web-features id spanning several keys, such as grid, is judged on the release web-features lists for the feature as a whole in each Baseline core browser, as support_source says; its other browsers are not evaluated.

Why it is in this group
- The name "browsercompat_get_feature" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Get the compatibility record for one web feature: Baseline state and the date it crossed, deprecation and standards status, per-browser version added and removed with flags, vendor prefixes and partial-implementation notes — with every other support statement recorded for that browser, such as an earlier prefixed or flagged release, in other_statements — and the MDN and specification links. Accepts a BCD key such as css.selectors.has or a web-features id such as has; the response echoes which one it matched. A web-features id that spans several BCD keys, such as grid, returns web-features’ own feature-level release per Baseline core browser in feature_support and its compat_keys, 100 per page, in place of per-key fields. An unresolved feature returns found: false with guidance rather than an error.

Why it is in this group
- The name "browsercompat_list_reference" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Enumerate the reference vocabulary this server uses: BCD namespaces, BCD browser ids, browserslist agent ids and their BCD counterparts, Baseline states, web-features groups, and ECMAScript snapshots. Use it to build valid inputs for the other tools and to see which target browsers can be evaluated.

browsercompat_search_featuresFind web features by plain name or keyword when the canonical key is unknown, across CSS, JavaScript, HTML, Web APIs, SVG, MathML, WebAssembly, and HTTP headers.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "browsercompat_search_features" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Find web features by plain name or keyword when the canonical key is unknown, across CSS, JavaScript, HTML, Web APIs, SVG, MathML, WebAssembly, and HTTP headers. Returns ranked matches with the BCD key, the web-features id, the Baseline state, a one-line support summary, and which field matched. Feed a result key into browsercompat_get_feature for the full record.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
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.
