Changes things 3Claude Code: ask
  • create_topicGenerate a new sourced encyclopedia article from a title (web search + LLM, ~15s).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "create_topic" says "create": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Generate a new sourced encyclopedia article from a title (web search + LLM, ~15s). Returns the existing article instead if the topic is already covered. Daily rate limit applies — search first.
  • discover_topicsSemantic search with optional filters.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.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Semantic search with optional filters. Use when keyword search misses, or to browse a category by meaning rather than exact wording.
  • edit_sectionReplace one section of an article with corrected Markdown.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "edit_section" says "edit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Replace one section of an article with corrected Markdown. Preferred over creating a duplicate topic when you find an error. Pass expected_revision (from read_topic) to avoid clobbering a concurrent edit.

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.
