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

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "freeq_pins" says "pin": a word for a change.

    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    Findings

    • Warn

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

      Matched text

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "freeq_pins" says "pin": a word for a change.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    The messages a channel's operators pinned — usually its rules, links and standing context. Cheaper than reading history when you want to know what a channel is for.

    Annotations the server declares

    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • freeq_verifyCheck who signed a message.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 who signed a message. `signed_by: "author"` is non-repudiable — the author's own key signed those bytes. `signed_by: "server"` proves relay only, NOT authorship. Call this before quoting anyone as having said something; do not present a server-relayed message as author-signed.

    Annotations the server declares

    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true

  • freeq_channelsList the public channels on this server with member counts and topics.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the public channels on this server with member counts and topics. Start here when you do not know a channel's exact name. Invite-only, key-protected and encrypted-only channels are never listed. No authentication required.

    Annotations the server declares

    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • freeq_historyRead recent messages from a channel, newest first.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read recent messages from a channel, newest first. Page backwards by passing the oldest msgid you have seen as `before`. Public channels need no authentication; restricted ones need a bearer from a member.

    Annotations the server declares

    • 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.
