A tool your agent calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it. anlyon.dev only lists and labels, and these labels are the same either way.

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.

- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Which countries and territories does the UK Foreign Office publish travel advice for, and what is the slug for each? Lists every FCDO travel advice destination with its GOV.UK slug and the alternative names GOV.UK maps to it (for example Dubai to United Arab Emirates, Tenerife to Spain), so other travel advice tools can be called with the right slug. Optional search narrows the list. Live from the GOV.UK Content API; it returns names only, not the advice itself. (cost: 1 credit)

Is it safe to travel to a country, according to the UK Foreign Office? Returns the FCDO headline for one country: whether it advises against all or all-but-essential travel (to the whole country or to parts), the latest change and when it was made, recent change history and the sections available. Live from the GOV.UK Content API. Advice is written for British nationals; it does not give other governments' advice and does not replace reading the full warnings before booking. (cost: 1 credit)

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.
