## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (3)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `dismiss_grant`

- The name "dismiss_grant" says "dismiss": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Dismiss a grant from YOUR active feed, or restore it (dismissed=false). Reversible. Requires your API key.
```

### `draft_application_section`

- The description's first verb is "generate": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Generate an AI first-draft for one section of YOUR application, grounded in the funding notice and your org profile, and save it into that section (prior content snapshotted first). Requires a paid API key. This is the only tool that runs the grant writer, so it is metered heavily. Returns the drafted text. Use get_my_application for section_keys.
```

### `update_application_section`

- The name "update_application_section" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Write content into one section of YOUR grant application (replace or append). Requires your API key. The prior draft is snapshotted to version history first, so this is recoverable. Use get_my_application to see section_keys.
```

## Changes things (1)

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

### `save_grant`

- The name "save_grant" says "save": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Save a grant to YOUR pipeline, or set its status to pursuing/applied. Reversible. Requires your API key. Mirrors the dashboard Save button.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `get_grant`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the full detail of a single grant opportunity by its GrantSonar grant_id (UUID), including synopsis, eligibility, deadlines, and award amounts.
```

### `get_my_application`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one of YOUR grant applications (status + every section draft) by application_id or grant_id. Requires your API key.
```

### `list_my_applications`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `list_my_matches`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List YOUR organization's scored grant matches — the same personalized matches shown on your GrantSonar dashboard. Requires your API key. Returns match tier, score, reasons, pipeline status, and a URL per grant.
```

### `search_grants`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search open grant opportunities in the GrantSonar corpus (federal, state, and foundation grants). Uses semantic similarity over a plain-English description of the project or need, with a keyword fallback. Returns title, agency, deadline, award amounts, similarity score, and a GrantSonar URL per hit.
```
