## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (6)

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

### `detect_surge`

- 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
Detect sudden spikes in news coverage — compares last 24h against 7-day baseline. Surfaces unusual increases like crime up 5× in Bulawayo or a football surge in Ghana.
```

### `drain_enrichment_backlog`

- 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
Drain the ENTIRE un-enriched article backlog, not just one batch. RESTRICTED to platform-team accounts (WorkOS bearer issued inside the platform-team org). Fire-and-forget: asks the pipeline worker to enrich un-enriched articles in batches (oldest first) until the backlog is clear, running independently of the automatic 10-minute sweep. Returns immediately; use trigger_enrichment for a single targeted batch instead.
```

### `get_content_analytics`

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

```

### `get_trending_analytics`

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

```

### `track_story`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

Follow the development of a news story over time. Returns articles in chronological order showing how a story evolved. Use since to control the lookback window.
```

### `trigger_enrichment`

- The name "trigger_enrichment" says "trigger": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Manually run the AI enrichment agent over existing articles (classification, keywords, entities, quality scoring). RESTRICTED to platform-team accounts — requires a WorkOS bearer token issued inside the platform-team org. By default enriches the most recent un-enriched articles; pass article_ids to target specific ones, or reset_attempts to re-run articles that previously hit the failure cap.

Returns short excerpts with word counts and app links only — call get_article with an article id to read a full article body inline.
```
