4 tools: 2 do something that can't be undone and 2 change things.

Scanned Oct 21, 2026

2 checks matched something in the tool definitions. No finding is not a safety guarantee. How the checks work.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

  • The server marks "convert_units" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "irreversible".

Can't be undone 2Claude Code: ask
  • convert_unitsConvert one cooking amount between units: within volume or weight exactly, or between volume and weight using a built-in density for flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, water, milk,…1 finding

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "convert_units" says "convert": a word for a change.
    • The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Convert one cooking amount between units: within volume or weight exactly, or between volume and weight using a built-in density for flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, water, milk, rice, oats, cocoa or honey. Use for questions like 'how many grams is 2 cups of flour'. Do NOT use to change serving counts (use scale_recipe).

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Combine several shopping or ingredient lists into one, summing the same item across lists (volumes and weights converted to a friendly unit) and noting which list each came from. Use when shopping for several recipes or meals at once. Do NOT use to resize one recipe (use scale_recipe) or price it (use cost_per_serving).

Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • cost_per_servingTotal the cost of a recipe's ingredients and work out the cost per serving and per 10 servings.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
    Total the cost of a recipe's ingredients and work out the cost per serving and per 10 servings. Use when budgeting a dish, pricing meal prep or comparing recipes on cost. Do NOT use to resize the recipe (use scale_recipe first, then price the scaled amounts here).

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Cost per serving
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • scale_recipeScale every ingredient in a recipe from one serving count to another (0.1x to 20x), with kitchen-friendly fraction hints; items without a quantity pass through unchanged.No findings

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Scale every ingredient in a recipe from one serving count to another (0.1x to 20x), with kitchen-friendly fraction hints; items without a quantity pass through unchanged. Use when cooking for more or fewer people. Do NOT use to change units (use convert_units) or to combine several recipes' ingredients (use merge_shopping_list).

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.
