## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `audit_linux_packages`

- 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
Linux package audit (RPM/DEB) for a given distro + version. Analyze Linux package vulnerabilities against the Vulners database.
```

### `audit_software`

- 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
🔍 VERSION-SPECIFIC SOFTWARE AUDIT 🔍 Audit specific software versions for known vulnerabilities. Use this when you have exact software version information (e.g., Chrome 138.0.7204.184). NEVER use search_lucene for version-specific software audits.
```

### `bulletin_by_id`

- 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
🚨 PRIMARY TOOL FOR KNOWN IDs 🚨 Fetch a bulletin by CVE or Vulners ID. Returns a COMPACT triage-card summary by default -- id, title, CVSS3, EPSS, CVE list, and a compact exploitation/AI signal -- NOT the full record. Pass fields=[...] to widen (e.g. add 'description', 'cvss', 'cvss2', 'affectedSoftware') or references=True for the linked-bulletin graph; requesting everything can be very large. Supports single ID or list of IDs. When list is provided, references are automatically set to False. NEVER use search_lucene for known IDs.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_supported_os`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List supported OS identifiers/versions for Linux package audit. Get available operating systems for vulnerability analysis.
```

### `query_autocomplete`

- The name "query_autocomplete" says "query": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Autocomplete helper for search inputs (vendors, products, CVEs, etc.). Get search suggestions from the Vulners database.
```

### `search_cpe`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find CPE strings by vendor+product (latest schema). Search for Common Platform Enumeration identifiers in the Vulners database.
```

### `search_lucene`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
🔍 DISCOVERY TOOL FOR UNKNOWN VULNERABILITIES 🔍 Full-text search in Vulners Knowledge Base using Lucene syntax. Use ONLY when you don't have specific IDs or version information. NEVER use for known CVE/bulletin IDs - use bulletin_by_id instead. NEVER use for specific software versions (e.g., 'Chrome 138.0.7204.184') - use audit_software instead. 🚨 CRITICAL: For vendor/product searches, ALWAYS use cnaAffected.vendor and cnaAffected.product fields - the affectedSoftware field does NOT exist.
```
