    • The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    FREE. Convert a value between units in the same dimension: length, mass, temperature, volume, data, time, area, speed, angle, pressure, energy. Deterministic. Args: value (number), from (unit), to (unit). e.g. {value:100, from:'c', to:'f'} or {value:1, from:'GiB', to:'MB'}. Different-dimension conversions 400.

Output hex (default), base64, or base64url. keccak256 also returns a 0x-form (handy for Ethereum). Args: algorithm, text (+ input_encoding utf8|hex|base64, output_encoding, hmac_key).
  • idFREE.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.

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.
