## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `coverage_stats`

- 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:

```untrusted-server-text
What TapWaterMap covers: states, cities, total EPA violation records, and the data quarter/date.
```

## Only reads (9)

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

### `compare_cities`

- The name "compare_cities" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare the EPA records of several cities side by side. Pass cities as 'City, ST' strings.
```

### `explain_contaminant`

- The name "explain_contaminant" says "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Plain-English explanation of an EPA contaminant by name or code: the EPA name, whether the EPA classifies it as health-based, and how often it appears in our records. Not medical advice.
```

### `fetch`

- The name "fetch" says "fetch": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the full plain-English EPA tap-water record for a city id (e.g. 'vt/burlington') returned by `search`. (ChatGPT/Deep-Research compatible.)
```

### `find_cities`

- The name "find_cities" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Filter/rank cities across the dataset — e.g. cities in TX with open health-based violations, or cities with a specific contaminant. Returns ranked matches.
```

### `get_city_water`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The core tool: what the EPA has on record for a city's tap water — the active community water systems serving it, populations, sources, and violations (contaminant, health-based or not, dates, status, level vs limit when recorded). Plain-English, sourced, never a safety verdict.
```

### `get_water_system`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
EPA record for a single water system by its PWSID (e.g. 'VT0005053'): name, population served, source, and violations.
```

### `list_state_cities`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all covered cities in a state (with violation counts).
```

### `search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search TapWaterMap for US cities by name. Returns matching cities with an id you can pass to `fetch`. (ChatGPT/Deep-Research compatible.)
```

### `search_cities`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find covered US cities by name, optionally within a state. Returns counts + the page URL for each.
```
