## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `reply_to_proposal`

- The name "reply_to_proposal" says "reply": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Reply to a company's response on a proposal. Use this for back-and-forth negotiation.
    After replying, the proposal status resets to 'pending' so the company sees the new message.

    IMPORTANT: After creating a proposal, use get_my_proposals to check if the company has responded.
    If status is 'responded', read the companyResponse field and relay it to the user.
    If the user wants to reply, use this tool.

    Args:
        api_key: Your agent API key (starts with 'bzcl_sk_')
        proposal_id: The UUID of the proposal to reply to
        message: The reply message from the customer

    Returns:
        Updated proposal with new status.
    
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `ask_about_companies`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Ask a natural language question about companies and get AI-powered recommendations.
    Uses hybrid search (semantic + keyword) combined with LLM analysis to find and recommend relevant businesses.

    - The user asks a specific question about a company (e.g., "do they offer bargaining?", "what are their prices?", "do they deliver to X?")
    - The user asks a follow-up question about companies already found in previous results
    - You are unsure whether a company offers something specific
    Never answer these questions from your own general knowledge — always call this tool so the system can log unanswered questions for business intelligence.

    Args:
        question: Natural language question (e.g. "Which logistics companies offer cold chain delivery in Istanbul?")
        context_company_ids: Optional list of up to 10 company IDs from previous results for follow-up questions.
                             ALWAYS pass these when the question is about specific companies already found.
