## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (4)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `signl4_acknowledge_alert`

- The description's first verb is "write": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: acknowledge an alert on behalf of a SIGNL4 user (recorded in its history under that user). Stops escalation to further tiers for that alert. POST /v3/signls/{signlId}/acknowledge.
```

### `signl4_annotate_alert`

- The description's first verb is "write": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: add a text note to an alert's timeline on behalf of a SIGNL4 user. The note is visible to the team in the app. It does not page anyone by itself. POST /v3/signls/{signlId}/annotate.
```

### `signl4_close_alert`

- The name "signl4_close_alert" says "close": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: close (resolve) an alert on behalf of a SIGNL4 user; it leaves the open list and stops all further notifications. POST /v3/signls/{signlId}/close.
```

### `signl4_raise_alert`

- The description's first verb is "write": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: raise a new alert in a SIGNL4 team. THIS NOTIFIES REAL PEOPLE: every team member currently on duty is paged (push, SMS and/or voice call according to their settings) and the alert escalates if nobody acknowledges it. Only use it when the user clearly asked to alert the team; never for tests unless they said so. Not idempotent: a second call pages the team again. Returns the new alert incl. its id. POST /v3/signls.
