Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

    The server marks "botclaw_choose" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "apply": a word for a change.

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

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Apply deterministic task, hosting, platform, budget and access gates to published dossiers. Each candidate has sourced reasons, explicit unknowns and hosting conflicts. No performance scores, account-access guarantee, inference, purchase or setup action. no-new-subscription does not establish free inference.

  • botclaw_compareCompare source-backed capabilities and explicit unknowns for the seven products.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_compare" says "compare": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Compare source-backed capabilities and explicit unknowns for the seven products. Filters can shortlist documented self-managed options. This is official documentation, not a tested product ranking or current account-access guarantee.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_catalogList the seven tracked products, category and content-type IDs, and the public MCP's paging and language options.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_catalog" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the seven tracked products, category and content-type IDs, and the public MCP's paging and language options. Use these IDs in other tools.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_changesRead a sequence-ordered change stream after a decimal cursor.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_changes" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read a sequence-ordered change stream after a decimal cursor. Start at 0, persist nextCursor only after applying the page, and continue while hasMore. Upserts contain the current published projection; withdrawn events contain only ID/revision/date, item=null. Remove withdrawn records locally. Replaying a page is safe. This is not a historical full-text archive.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_dailyRead public items dated on a real YYYY-MM-DD calendar day in Asia/Shanghai.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_daily" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read public items dated on a real YYYY-MM-DD calendar day in Asia/Shanghai. Omit date for today. This is a date index, not an AI-generated daily report. reviewedAt is a source-review date, not a publication date. Returns 20 items per page.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_itemRead one published record by stable ID, with body, applicable conditions, evidence type, revision and canonical citation URL.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_item" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read one published record by stable ID, with body, applicable conditions, evidence type, revision and canonical citation URL. Missing or withdrawn records return item=null. Original-source excerpts are not independent execution evidence.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_latestRead the latest dated agent news, newest first.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_latest" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read the latest dated agent news, newest first. Defaults to news; choose content_type guide, experience or review for other reading. Filters are listed by botclaw_get_catalog. Results have 20 items per page; use hasMore and page to continue.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_observationsRead published bilingual version radar, weekly editions, question guides or product dossiers.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_observations" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read published bilingual version radar, weekly editions, question guides or product dossiers. Includes full bodies, source dates, review dates and weekly coverage cutoff. Editorial interpretation is not product execution. Use product to include records discussing that product, including multi-product guides.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_sourcesList public source URLs, source origin (official or independent), collection state, last successful collection, and item counts.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_sources" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List public source URLs, source origin (official or independent), collection state, last successful collection, and item counts. Manual sources are editorially reviewed; they are not automatic collectors.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • botclaw_get_workflowsFind owned, reproducible workflow procedures.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "botclaw_get_workflows" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find owned, reproducible workflow procedures. Each list entry has a stable ID; call get_item for the steps and actual verification boundary. Only the Node RSS example currently has execution evidence. Does not run workflows.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

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.
