Changes things 1Creates or changes something that can be changed back.Claude Code: ask

calculate_shippingUse when the user asks for supported auction-to-port shipping pricing for a known vehicle.No findings
Why it is in this group
- 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
Use when the user asks for supported auction-to-port shipping pricing for a known vehicle. Supply either VIN or lot_number; optionally narrow the destination with port or port_id. Availability depends on auction location and route data.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true

Only reads 7Looks things up and changes nothing.Claude Code: allow

get_api_usageUse to inspect request usage and current plan limits for the supplied X-API-Key.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_api_usage" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use to inspect request usage and current plan limits for the supplied X-API-Key. This is account/API-quota metadata, not vehicle data.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
get_related_vehiclesUse after identifying a specific vehicle to retrieve related supported auction records for comparison or discovery.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_related_vehicles" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use after identifying a specific vehicle to retrieve related supported auction records for comparison or discovery. Do not use as a substitute for a broad filtered inventory search.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
get_vehicleUse when the user already has a VIN, lot number or supported slug and needs the current normalized vehicle record.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_vehicle" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use when the user already has a VIN, lot number or supported slug and needs the current normalized vehicle record. Request include history and/or vin_lots when the same tool call should also return retained sale history or other known auction lots for the same VIN.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
get_vehicle_filtersUse before building a dynamic search UI or validating source-backed filter choices.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_vehicle_filters" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use before building a dynamic search UI or validating source-backed filter choices. Returns current filter metadata; it does not search inventory itself.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
get_vehicle_historyUse for retained Copart + IAAI auction appearances for one supported vehicle.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_vehicle_history" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use for retained Copart + IAAI auction appearances for one supported vehicle. This is auction-specific history, not complete ownership, registration or accident history.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
list_auction_locationsUse to resolve supported auction yards, branches or facilities and their location metadata.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_auction_locations" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use to resolve supported auction yards, branches or facilities and their location metadata. Use calculate_shipping when the user needs auction-to-port pricing instead.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
search_auction_vehiclesUse for broad inventory discovery, filtering and incremental synchronization across supported Copart and IAA / IAAI records.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search_auction_vehicles" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use for broad inventory discovery, filtering and incremental synchronization across supported Copart and IAA / IAAI records. For one known VIN or lot use get_vehicle; for retained auction appearances use get_vehicle_history.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Anlyon alternative

1 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
