  • estimate_reading_timeUse this when the user needs a reading-time or speaking-time estimate from text or a word count.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
    Use this when the user needs a reading-time or speaking-time estimate from text or a word count. Accepts text up to 20,000 characters or 1 to 2,000,000 words, plus 100 to 1,000 wpm or a reader type. Returns a 150 to 800 wpm table; it does not assess reading ability.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Estimate reading time
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • openWorldHint: false

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user wants an original timed reading-speed practice test with comprehension questions. Accepts short, medium, or long passages only. Returns the passage length and four multiple-choice questions with four options each; correct options stay in widget-only metadata. Do not use for medical or learning-disability assessment.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "show_speed_reader" says "show": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user wants to practice reading supplied text one word at a time. Accepts up to 20,000 characters, 100 to 1,000 words per minute, and 1 to 4 words per flash. Returns the word count and scheduled reading time; it is a training aid and does not measure comprehension.

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.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. It assumes the server is installed as speed-reader. Review it before you use it.
