No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Only reads (12)

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

### `assess_fit`

- The description's first verb is "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compares a description of a project, business or problem against a fixed published rule and returns a verdict: good_fit, mixed, poor_fit or insufficient_information. Wording alone never produces poor_fit. Where the text touches one of the things Ashley turns down, the result lists questions in ask_these_then_call_again, and the three named fields take the person's own answers on a later call. poor_fit needs an explicit yes in one of those fields; good_fit needs an explicit no in all three. Having a development team is not the same as wanting Ashley to supply one.
```

### `get_ai_capability`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Which AI techniques he has built in production (prompting, retrieval, fine-tuning, MCP servers, local inference) and when each one is the right choice. Use this for questions about AI, automation or data privacy.
```

### `get_case_study`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full detail for one engagement: the situation, what was built, the engineering decisions and why they were made, the stack, and where there is one, the commercial outcome in indexed figures.
```

### `get_contact`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
How to reach Ashley: email, the contact page, and a booking link when one is live. Use when the person wants to make contact.
```

### `get_evidence`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Where the numbers on the site come from, for when someone asks whether they can be trusted. Returns one statement of provenance: the figures are counts from live systems, self-reported with a stated method and not independently audited, and Ashley will run any of them in front of someone who asks. Per-figure detail (the collections, queries and returned values) is not published.
```

### `get_faqs`

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

### `get_privacy`

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

```

### `get_services`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The three ways an engagement runs (Build, Partner, Consult), the fixed-price diagnostic most engagements start with, how the process works, and which client surfaces he builds: desktop applications, browser extensions, chat-platform integrations and web. Use this for any question about platforms, apps, pricing or how an engagement is structured.
```

### `list_work`

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