## Findings

- **warn** Mentions of other tools or servers in `glim_detect_ai` ([tool-shadowing](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#tool-shadowing))

```untrusted-server-text
The description names a tool "humanizer" that this server does not list.

description: "...ags (AI output run through paraphrasing/'humanizer' tools). Use it to verify whether content (com..."
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `glim_detect_ai`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Detect AI-generated text. Scores any text for AI-authorship likelihood and returns an overall verdict (AI / human / mixed) with confidence, the AI/human/AI-assisted fractions, and a segment-by-segment breakdown showing exactly which parts read as AI-written - including per-segment humanizer flags (AI output run through paraphrasing/'humanizer' tools). Use it to verify whether content (comments, articles, profiles) is AI-generated, or to check text before publishing to see which segments would trip AI detectors - revise the flagged segments and re-check. Cost scales with text length: $0.06 per 100 words, rounded up, minimum $0.06. Max input 20,000 characters.
```

## Only reads (13)

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

### `glim_amazon_get`

- The name "glim_amazon_get" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch Amazon product detail from a full product URL (the marketplace - com|co.uk|de|fr|es|it - is read from the URL host; pass the url field from a glim_amazon_search result, or any /dp/<ASIN> page URL). Returns title, buybox price (gross + VAT-excluded net), stock, delivery estimate, rating, top reviews, and an 'other sellers' summary (count + floor price). Text mode (default) returns a compact view with offers_summary {buybox, lowest_new, lowest_used} - pass format='json' for full structured data incl. the offers[] listing and images.
```

### `glim_amazon_search`

- The name "glim_amazon_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- 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
Pass exactly ONE of {query} or {category_slug}. Searches Amazon (com|co.uk|de|fr|es|it) and returns ranked hits with buybox price (gross + VAT-excluded net), ratings, review counts, and ASINs. Drill down with glim_amazon_get(ref). Set sort_by='most_reviewed' (with min_reviews to filter junk) for a trust-weighted re-rank within the current page. Compact text by default; pass format='json' for full structured data.
```

### `glim_github_get`

- The name "glim_github_get" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Fetch GitHub data from a single ref. GitHub URL or 'owner/repo' shorthand. A repo URL or owner/repo returns metadata + README; /pull/N -> PR (with comments + changed files), /issues/N -> issue, /discussions/N -> discussion (with threaded replies), /blob/<ref>/<path> -> file (raw.githubusercontent.com URLs work too), /tree/<ref>[/<path>] -> file tree (optionally scoped to a subdirectory), /commit/<sha> -> one commit with diff, /commits[/<ref>/<path>] -> history (optionally for one file), /branches, /releases (or /releases/tag/<tag> | /releases/latest -> one release), /topics/<name> -> top repos with that topic (by stars).
```

### `glim_github_search`

- The name "glim_github_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "repository": it reads repositories. The input names a repo (input.repo), and the tool reads: it reads repositories.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "search" and "conversation": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search GitHub repositories, conversations (issues+PRs), discussions, or code, with full GitHub search syntax in the query: qualifiers (repo:, org:/user:, language:, path:, symbol:, content:, is:, stars:, label:, sort:stars), boolean AND/OR/NOT with parentheses, "exact strings", and /regex/. kind='repos': MINIMAL distinctive keywords - the project/library name only ('rtk', 'react query'); every extra word must ALL match and buries the canonical repo - filter with qualifiers, not prose. kind='code': ONE literal code pattern as it appears in files ('useState('), an "exact string", a /regex/, or symbol:name to find definitions, across 2.8M+ public repos; narrow with repo:/language:/path:. Not supported in code search: license:, enterprise:, is:vendored, is:generated. kind='conversations': returns compact previews - use glim_github_get for full content; sort: REPLACES relevance ranking (words match anywhere incl. comments), omit it for best matches. kind='discussions': GitHub Discussions, a SEPARATE index from issues/PRs - a question answered there never appears under conversations, so reach for it when a repo does its Q&A in Discussions; supports repo:/org:/author:/is:answered plus category: (the repo's own category name, needs a repo: scope), up to 10 results per page, no sort:. Set repo='owner/name' to scope to one repository (works with any kind; with repos it routes to conversations). kind is optional - inferred from the query (is:answered/category: -> discussions, is:/label: -> conversations, path:/symbol://regex/ -> code, stars:/topic: -> repos, else repos); a conversations search with no matches is retried as discussions and says so. Returns compact text by default; pass format='json' for full structured data.
```

### `glim_reddit_get`

- The name "glim_reddit_get" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "post": it reads posts, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a Reddit post, subreddit, or user by ref. Posts return comments; subreddits and users return profile metadata plus recent activity.
```

### `glim_reddit_search`

- The name "glim_reddit_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "search" and "post": it reads posts, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search Reddit posts. Each result comes with full post content and its top comments, so a single search usually answers the question without follow-up. Compact human-readable text by default; pass format='json' for full structured data. Use glim_reddit_get(ref) for a single post's complete comment tree. Page with cursor (response gives next_cursor when more exist). See docs://reddit-search.
```

### `glim_telegram_get`

- The name "glim_telegram_get" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "post": it reads posts, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a public Telegram channel or post - no account or API key involved. Channel refs (@handle, handle, t.me URL) return channel info + recent posts newest-first with views, reactions, media, polls, and link previews; pass query to search within the channel's full history, and page older posts with before=<next_cursor>. Post refs (t.me/<channel>/<id>) return that post plus its most recent discussion comments. Media URLs are Telegram CDN links that expire within hours - fetch promptly, never store. Only channels with a public web preview work (most public channels); private channels and groups are not accessible.
```

### `glim_telegram_search`

- The name "glim_telegram_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "directory": it reads files.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "search" and "post": it reads posts, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search Telegram: discovers public channels by name/topic (directory lookup) and finds indexed public post/channel pages (semantic web index scoped to t.me). Telegram has no global full-text search, so treat results as discovery: find the right channel here, then use glim_telegram_get(ref=<handle>) for its live posts or glim_telegram_get(ref, query=...) to search within that channel's full history.
```

### `glim_twitter_get`

- The name "glim_twitter_get" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "tweet": it reads posts, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a tweet or a user from one reference. A tweet URL (incl. handle-less /i/status/<id>) returns the tweet with full thread context, parent, and optional replies/quotes; a profile URL (https://x.com/<handle>) returns the user with recent tweets. Prefer full URLs - if you only have a numeric id, pass it as a quoted string. Returns a compact human-readable view by default; pass format='json' for full structured data.
```

### `glim_twitter_search`

- The name "glim_twitter_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- 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
Search Twitter/X. Returns a compact human-readable list by default; pass format='json' for full structured data. Use glim_twitter_get(ref) for full thread context. Use docs://search-operators for reference.
```

### `glim_web_fetch`

- The name "glim_web_fetch" says "fetch": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "glim_web_fetch" says "fetch" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a single web page and extract clean content. Auto-tier server-side: handles SSR (Next.js, Nuxt, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube), SPA shells, PDFs, paywall detection, residential-proxy escalation, and stealth profiles for TikTok / Instagram / Pinterest / YouTube. Returns clean markdown (default) with a YAML frontmatter header (url, outcome, total_chars). Read 'outcome' to classify the result (success | teaser | thin_content | paywall | bot_challenge | consent_wall | login_wall | rate_limited | timeout | transient_upstream | unsupported_target | not_found | error). Large pages (>80k chars) are truncated inline with truncated_chars + a download_full_url to the complete extraction (expires ~1h). Permanently unsupported (outcome=unsupported_target, cost=0 upstream): Bluesky search, Instagram post/reel and tag/explore pages (profiles work), Pinterest search, g2.com, Truth Social, Xiaohongshu. Threads and Instagram profile pages ARE supported.
```

### `glim_web_search`

- The name "glim_web_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "glim_web_search" says "search" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Semantic web search powered by Exa. Returns titles, URLs, and the top query-relevant excerpt per result. Compact text by default; pass format='json' for full structured data incl. all excerpts per result. Use glim_web_fetch(url) for full page content. Matching is semantic, so a query with no real match still returns ten nearest-neighbour results rather than zero - judge relevance from the excerpts, not from the result count.
```

### `glim_youtube_get`

- The name "glim_youtube_get" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a YouTube video transcript from a video URL or 11-char id. The transcript is cleaned server-side: deduplicated, tags/HTML stripped, with coarse [m:ss] timestamps - roughly a tenth the size of the raw captions. Default format='text' returns it inline (when it fits ~40K chars / ~10K tokens) so a single call gives you the text directly; long-form videos fall back to a download_url note. Pass format='json' for the same transcript plus transcript metadata (video_id, canonical url, language, origin, size) and a presigned download_url - for batch/programmatic use. Default origin='uploader_provided' (human captions); falls back to 'auto_generated' automatically if missing (counts as 2 upstream calls). Cached 7 days server-side.
```
