## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `complete_purchase`

- The name "complete_purchase" says "purchase": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Complete a checkout and place the order.

Only call this when the checkout status is 'ready_for_complete'.
Records the purchase as a conversion in telemetry and ends the
attribution session.

Returns the order confirmation with order ID and receipt link.

```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `check_order`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check the status of a checkout session or order.

Use this after the user has completed an escalation step (e.g. payment
in the browser) to see if the checkout can now proceed, or to check
on a completed order's status.

```

### `start_checkout`

- The name "start_checkout" says "start": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Start a UCP checkout session for a product.

Discovers the merchant's UCP capabilities, creates a checkout session,
and attaches content attribution data from the current session's search
and comparison activity.

Returns the checkout status and any information the merchant still needs
(email, shipping address, etc).

```

### `update_checkout_info`

- The name "update_checkout_info" says "update": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Update a checkout session with buyer information.

Provide the information the merchant requested (email, name, shipping
address, discount codes). Call this after start_checkout when the
merchant indicates what information is still needed.

If the response has status 'requires_escalation', share the continue_url
with the user so they can complete payment in their browser.

```

## Only reads (3)
