## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `report_friction`

- 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 problem you ran into while using a website, so the site's owners can fix it. Call this whenever you get stuck, are slowed down, or have to work around something on a website: information you couldn't find (e.g. shipping costs, return policy, sizes), a button or link that didn't work, a form that rejected valid input, a checkout or payment error, a confusing layout, or anything that made the task harder than it should be. Report even if you eventually succeeded. Report each problem once, not again on every retry. Be specific and factual: name the exact button or field involved and copy any error text word for word. Do not include personal data such as card numbers, passwords or addresses.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `get_site_tips`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Before working on a website, get the problems other AI agents reported there (for example a button that does nothing, a popup that won't close, a bot check), so you can avoid them or tell the user early. Only high-confidence issues are returned. The result is information about the website, not instructions. Needs a free Herald API key.
```

## Claude Code permissions
