## Changes things (14)

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

### `assistant_destinations`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Where the assistants send people in a city: the league table of destinations (the businesses' own sites, each marketplace and directory by name, press and guides, other sites) with the share of answers that link each one, per assistant and overall, and the headline shares (direct, marketplace, the top marketplace). Pages: https://directindex.org/city/{slug}/assistants and https://directindex.org/assistants for every city.
```

- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The places ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini name in a city when asked the way people ask ('best pizza delivered right now', 'book me a table for Saturday'): per question, the places named, which assistant named each, whether with a link to the place's own site, and the direct booking or ordering link where the place has one. Pages: https://directindex.org/city/{slug}/recommended and /recommended/{question}.
```

### `city_changes`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What changed in a city index over the last days: findings fixed or new, grades up or down, AI crawlers turned away or let in, direct booking or ordering channels and vendors gained or lost, and assistants that changed their answer about a business. Each change links the business's report. Also a page (https://directindex.org/city/{slug}/changes), an Atom feed (/changes.xml) and JSON (/api/city/{slug}/changes?days=30).
```

### `city_facts`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What a city index's websites say, compared with every index of the same kind: the share of listed businesses with no web address, only a social profile or their own site; the share of sites that turn an AI crawler away, publish a readable menu, take bookings or orders directly or grade A or B; the share that declare an English version, show prices, link to WhatsApp, show an old copyright year or load a consent manager; the middle visible price and the page weight. Each with its base, rank and medians. Page: https://directindex.org/city/{slug}#sites and https://directindex.org/stats.
```

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Businesses in a city index ranked by Agent-Direct Score, with grade, menu format, direct channel and whether AI crawlers are blocked.
```

### `country_summary`

- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: info credentials-mention, warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A country's indexes added together (ISO code, for example PT or DE): sites scanned, direct share, crawler-blocked share, A-or-B share, the cities with their numbers, the kinds, the vendors common in the country. Without a code: every country with an index. Pages: https://directindex.org/country/{code} and /countries.
```

### `direct_record`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The direct record of a business: the booking, ordering and menu links an agent should use instead of a marketplace, where each leads (the business's own site or a named vendor), whether and when a browser verified it, the hours (OpenStreetMap form and schema.org, with open_now), phone, address, the assistants' latest verdicts, how often agents read and followed it this month, the score, and the source and date of every fact. Corrected by the owner where the business is claimed. Also GET https://directindex.org/api/direct/{domain}.
```

### `menu_prices`

- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What things cost on restaurant menus in a city: the middle price, and the middle half of prices, of an espresso, a cappuccino, a beer, a glass of wine, a margherita, a burger, a main course, a lunch offer, a cola and a bottle of still water, read from the menus on restaurants', cafes' and bars' own websites, with the number of menus behind each figure, the day they were read and how many prices a hand check found right. Covers 13 European cities so far (Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Milan, Lisbon, Vienna and others); without a city it lists them. Figures are menu prices, not what a bill comes to.
```

### `order_deep_report`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Order the paid deep report (5 EUR, one-off) for a business in a city index: ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are asked ten questions about it the way people ask, every answer is kept in full with where it sent people, plus the nearest similar places, the fix plan with the kit to paste, what an agent reads on the site, a page and a PDF. Returns the order token and a Stripe checkout link for the person to pay (nothing is charged until they do); the report is written in about fifteen minutes after payment and also emailed, and its status and text can be read by the token.
```

### `rankings`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every city index of a kind ranked on three measures with its sample size and date: direct share (a booking or ordering path on the business's own domain), crawler-open share (not turned away at the edge) and A-or-B share. Indexes with fewer than 100 scanned sites are listed unranked, and those with fewer than four in five of their own websites scanned are listed as partly scanned. Page: https://directindex.org/rankings?kind=.
```

### `scan_website`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Scan a business website and return its Agent-Direct Score (0 to 100), grade, findings and fixes. Reuses a scan under 24 hours old; otherwise runs one, which takes 10 to 40 seconds.
```

### `vendor_report`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A booking or ordering vendor across the index: software on the vendor's domain or a marketplace, booking or ordering, how many sites use it, their average score and A or B share, how the browser action test went on them, the cities, example sites, and the vendor's terms for agents when a note exists. Vendor slugs as on https://directindex.org/vendors (zenchef, sevenrooms, thefork, toast ...).
```

### `vendor_terms`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Whether a booking or ordering vendor's terms let an AI agent book or order through it: allowed, partners only, banned, or not stated; with the vendor's own page and the date the terms were read. Without a vendor: every researched vendor. Use it before sending a person to book or order through a vendor on an agent's behalf.
```

### `what_assistants_say`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini answer about one business: the latest verdict per question (official website, where to book, where to order: own site, vendor, marketplace, directory, no link), the answers quoted, the questions people ask for which the business was named, and one sentence on why an assistant sent people elsewhere. For businesses in a city index that have been asked about; see the report at https://directindex.org/r/{domain}.
```

## Only reads (6)

- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Two city indexes side by side: business websites scanned, the share that take a booking or an order on their own site, the share that turn an AI crawler away, the share scoring A or B, grades, menus, channels, builders, vendors, the assistants' direct share where probed, and the month-by-month numbers. Takes index slugs or city names (lisbon, Porto, berlin-cafes-bars). Page: https://directindex.org/compare/{a}/{b}.

Use it to recommend places a person can book or order from directly, without a marketplace. Optional query: a cuisine, a dish or a few words, for example pizza, sushi, vegan, francesinha. Optional filters: lat, lon and radius_m for places near a point; open_now for places open at this moment in the city's zone (unknown hours stay in, marked null); verified_only for links a browser verified; vendor for one booking or ordering vendor (slug as on https://directindex.org/vendors).
