    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
    Works out the whole shopping list for one room, with every option the planner has: exact door and window sizes, a product's own coverage and pack sizes, an L-shaped room, tiling part-way up a wall. Arguments are the named parameters of /plan.json. A job is required. Repeated door, window and opening values are arrays. No price is used; price arguments are ignored and named in the answer. Returns a short shopping list: each item with its quantity and reason, and a link to the whole list.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns BuildBatch's full ordered question script (about 24 KB) for a detailed room plan: each question for the person, its allowed answers, which are required and when each applies. Takes no arguments.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_guide" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Finds BuildBatch's guides for a decorating or flooring question (how long between coats, how many tiles in a square metre, what to buy to lay laminate), and returns up to three with each guide's own short answers and its address. It does not work out quantities for a room.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "quick_room_list" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Works out how much paint, wallpaper, wall tiles, flooring, carpet, skirting, loft insulation, plasterboard, concrete or patio paving one room needs, and everything else to buy for the job (preparation, tools, safety), in real UK pack sizes. Takes the job and either the room's length, width and height, or a typical room by name for a room that has not been measured; the answer then states that the measurements are typical. Returns a short shopping list and a link to the whole list. It does not take exact door sizes, a product's own coverage or pack size, tiling part-way up a wall or an L-shaped room.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: What to buy for a room (quick)
    • 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.
