## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `calculate_band_score`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
Calculate the overall IELTS band from Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking bands using the official rounding (averages ending .25 round up to the next half band, .75 to the next whole band). Optionally estimate a Writing band from Task 1 and Task 2 bands (Task 2 counts double; this part is an estimate).
```

## Only reads (6)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `analyze_writing`

- The name "analyze_writing" says "analyze": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Count words, sentences and paragraphs in a piece of writing and compare the word count with the IELTS minimum for the task. Runs locally: nothing is saved or sent to an AI. These counts are not a band score.
```

### `get_practice_task`

- The name "get_practice_task" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get one original practice question by ID, with planning guidance for its question type and links to any annotated sample answers. Academic Task 1 visuals are linked as images; do not invent their figures.
```

### `get_sample_answer`

- The name "get_sample_answer" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read one original annotated sample answer by ID (from get_practice_task), with paragraph notes and useful vocabulary. Samples show techniques; they are not officially scored scripts.
```

### `list_lessons`

- The name "list_lessons" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the original writing or speaking lessons, or read one lesson in full by ID. Lesson quizzes are study checks, not IELTS scores.
```

### `search_practice`

- The name "search_practice" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search original IELTS-style writing practice questions (Academic Task 1 and 2, General Training Task 1 and 2). Returns task IDs for get_practice_task. Not official exam questions.
```

### `search_vocabulary`

- The name "search_vocabulary" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search original IELTS vocabulary entries with meaning, an example sentence and a usage caution. Use words for their meaning, not as a shortcut to a higher band.
```
