## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `create_dashboard`

- The name "create_dashboard" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a shareable dashboard. Returns {id, token} — the token grants write access via PUT /api/dashboards, so save it.
```

### `submit_report`

- The name "submit_report" says "submit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
File a manual geolocated incident report (same as POST /api/reports). Reports are moderated before they appear publicly. Errors: 'report submission disabled' if the caller is blocked; 'rate limited' past 20 reports/hour via MCP.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_crime_year`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-year VPD crime data: totals and ranked neighbourhood stats. Vancouver only, 2003-present.
```

### `get_dashboard`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a saved dashboard by id (shareable, read-only).
```

### `get_incidents`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Merged live incidents from all feeds plus manual reports. Filter by region key, category, group, severity, source, or bbox. Results come from a shared ~15-minute snapshot; real-time refresh requires an API key with that entitlement (details: cityalert.live/developers).
```

### `get_news`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Per-region safety news items, or news for an arbitrary place name.
```

### `get_trends`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Historical aggregates: VPD crime by year/month/type (6y), USGS M4+ quakes per region (10y), GDACS global events (3y), report and live snapshot stats. Use for questions about patterns over time — crime trends, quake frequency, disaster cadence. For what's happening right now, use get_incidents.
```

### `list_regions`

- The name "list_regions" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List CityAlert focus regions (key, label, center, zoom, bbox). Use region keys with get_incidents.
```
