## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (6)

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

### `acknowledge_watch`

- The description's first verb is "mark": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Mark all currently unread matches on one owned watch as read. Requires watches:write and an Idempotency-Key.
```

### `create_watch`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a Founding Pro saved watch. Requires watches:write; repeat the same Idempotency-Key to safely replay the same request.
```

### `discover_events`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use to rank cited events in the latest completed edition by probable, rare, or overweighted mode. Keep research priors separate from measured current-edition counts. Do not describe the result as a forecast or a probability that an event occurred.
```

### `export_edition`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Export an edition as source-grounded Markdown or CSV. Requires member authorization with exports:read and an active Founding Pro entitlement.
```

### `score_headline`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Classify one supplied headline and inspect coverage recurrence. Optional referenceContext adds explicit country, magnitude, industry or aviation scope. When sufficiently scoped, occurrenceReference separately supplies primary-source counts, exposure or published population rates with units and source periods. Missing fields, conflicts and hypothetical/disputed/historical wording are disclosed; news mentions never update source rates. Do not verify a headline, compare incompatible units, predict an outcome, or score a URL.
```

### `update_watch`

- The name "update_watch" says "update": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Update fields on one owned Founding Pro watch. Requires watches:write and an Idempotency-Key.
```

## Only reads (8)

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

### `get_brief`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use for a current news brief or catch-up job. Return a five-story cited brief diversified across category, event class, and publisher by default. Use chronological or all for stable cursor paging. A balanced resumeCursor continues as a complete chronological change stream, even when the client repeats mode=balanced. Follow unreadCursor before saving resumeCursor. Do not use as a general web search or for events Probable did not observe.
```

### `get_context`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when a user supplies a headline or a source URL already observed by Probable and wants same-class context. Optional referenceContext adds explicit country, magnitude, industry or aviation scope for primary-source population references; missingFields and conflicts explain withheld matches. Unknown URLs are not fetched and instead request a headline. Do not use this to verify occurrence, compare unrelated event classes, or forecast.
```

### `get_membership`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return Free and Founding Pro terms and available Stripe-hosted checkout URLs. Calling this tool does not open checkout or claim payment success.
```

### `list_classes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the versioned category and event-class catalog used by score_headline. The editorial index is a legacy comparison weight, not an empirical probability.
```

### `list_editions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List every stored edition with public metadata, free/paid status, exact prices, and the URLs that can unlock paid content.
```

### `list_watches`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the member's saved monitors and recent matches. Requires member authorization with watches:read and an active Founding Pro entitlement.
```

### `read_edition_by_date`

- The name "read_edition_by_date" says "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a stored edition inside the seven-day public window. Older editions return an access boundary and links; this tool never bypasses membership or payment.
```

### `read_latest_edition`

- The name "read_latest_edition" says "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read the latest source-grounded Probable edition. Every replacement is a different event observed in the same scan and category with a higher editorial comparison index; that index is not a measured occurrence rate.
```
