## Only reads (2)

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

### `search_docs`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search documentation with hybrid semantic (vector) and keyword (BM25) search. Use semanticWeight to choose keyword-only (0), semantic-only (1), or a blend; mid values fuse rankings with RRF. Supports Tiger Cloud (TimescaleDB), PostgreSQL, and PostGIS.
```

### `view_skill`

- The name "view_skill" says "view": a word for reading.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve detailed skills for TimescaleDB operations and best practices.
