Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • check_portfolioCheck a list of up to 25 vendors (names, domains or both) and get one profile each.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • 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
    Check a list of up to 25 vendors (names, domains or both) and get one profile each. Spends one lookup per vendor answered; a name that matches nothing costs nothing.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
