## 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.

### `get_coverage_record`

- The name "get_coverage_record" says "get": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "capture": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The capture-coverage record: what the desk's observatory actually monitored and when, including gaps. Read this before treating any silence in the corpus as meaningful — the desk's own rule.
```

## Changes things (7)

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

### `editor_decide`

- 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
Record Mike's decision on one editor card: approve (the editor executes it next cycle), hold (keep it, not now), or kill (never pitch it again). Only call this when the user has explicitly decided; never infer a decision. Requires the editor key.
```

### `editor_pending`

- 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
The site editor's pitch cards waiting for Mike's decision. Each card is one proposed change to thestochasticparrot.com that the editor judged too big to make on its own. Returns the cards; the attached widget lets the user decide each with Approve / Hold / Kill. Requires the editor key.
```

### `editor_sync`

- The name "editor_sync" says "sync": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Internal: the desk's mirror sync (push cards + ledger, read back all cards, clear ids). Not for conversational use.
```

### `propose_development`

- 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
Tip the desk that a story moved — a development on an existing chain or a story worth auditing. Lands in the same proposed-developments queue the observatory's triggers feed; the desk decides what, if anything, to file. Requires the reader key.
```

### `report_error`

- 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
Report a suspected error in a published piece (a miscount, a quote that reads wrong, a broken claim). Verified catches are fixed and logged on the public corrections ledger, credited 'Caught by a reader.' Requires the reader key.
```

### `submit_letter`

- The name "submit_letter" says "submit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit a letter to the desk. If the desk answers, the exchange may be published on the Letters page (excerpted, initialed) — through the desk's normal editorial process, never directly. Requires the reader key.
```

### `verify_piece`

- 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
Provenance record for one piece: SHA-256 hashes of its canonical JSON and published HTML as of the last corpus sync. Re-hash the live artifacts at the piece's URL and compare to confirm what you read is what the desk published.
```

## Only reads (11)

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

### `editor_log`

- The name "editor_log" says "log": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What the site editor did recently: its ledger of small changes it shipped on its own, cards it filed, and decisions recorded. Use to answer 'what did the editor change'. Requires the editor key.
```

### `get_audit`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one piece's full detail JSON by slug: headline, kind, date, context, dek, outlets, verified contradictions with verbatim spans, naming/framing splits, and the full source list. Slugs come from search_corpus or list_audits.
```

### `get_boxscore`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The Daily Box Score for one day — the desk's frozen per-day stat snapshot. Requires the day; days are listed at /boxscore/ on the site.
```

### `get_chain`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Story chains: multi-piece storylines the desk has covered more than once. Call without arguments to list the available chain ids; pass chain_id for one chain in full (its pieces in order, claim ledger, and reopen conditions).
```

### `get_claim_ledger`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A story chain's claim ledger: specific verbatim claims outlets made, each tracked through states (open, corroborated, contradicted, corrected, quietly_abandoned, resolved) with a receipt for every transition. Empty claims list = the desk has not logged claims for that chain yet.
```

### `get_framing_index`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The Framing Index: across the cross-outlet corpus, how often disagreements between outlets are hard contradictions vs naming/framing splits — totals, rate, monthly trend, per-outlet appearances. The desk's core longitudinal measurement.
```

### `get_storyboards`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A chain's per-newsroom storyboards: for each outlet, every piece it filed on the story entry-by-entry, the desk's published READ of what each piece was built to do (objective label, motive with its mandatory innocent read, confidence), the label arc, and the desk's 'story, as built' synthesis where one exists.
```

### `list_audits`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List published pieces (summaries: slug, title, kind, date, counts of hard contradictions and naming/framing splits), newest first. All filters optional and combinable.
```

### `list_corrections`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The desk's public corrections ledger: every logged error on a published piece — what was wrong, what changed, and when — in original ledger order.
```

### `list_letters`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Letters to the Desk: reader mail, excerpted and initialed, with the desk's replies in its own voice. The desk's only interactive surface with its readership.
```

### `search_corpus`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-text search over every published piece (titles, deks, context lines, outlet names, and source headlines). Returns matching pieces with slug, title, URL, and a highlighted snippet, best matches first. Use the slug with get_audit for full detail.
```
