## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `check_site`

- 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
Score how bot-friendly a website is (0-100). Fetches the site the way an agent would — no JavaScript, no cookies — and checks access (reachability, HTTPS, robots.txt, AI crawlers allowed, real 404s), content without JavaScript (H1, 500+ chars of raw text, metadata, JSON-LD), and machine discovery (llms.txt, sitemap, OpenAPI spec or ai-plugin.json), with evidence and fix advice per check. Set format to 'prompt' to instead get a ready-to-paste coding-agent prompt that fixes every failed finding. Rate limited to 6 checks per minute per caller; each check takes a few seconds.
```

### `submit_service`

- The name "submit_service" says "submit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit a service to the BotFriendly directory. There is no review queue: each interface URL must be on the service's own domain, or linked from the service's own site, and is fetched during the call; the listing publishes immediately if its MCP server, OpenAPI spec or API completes a handshake — one of has_mcp_server, has_openapi_spec or has_api is required; llms.txt, skill files and feeds only add badges. The url must be the product, not an article (/blog/, /news/ and similar are rejected), and a domain can add at most 2 listings a day and 3 in total. Every listing needs an icon — pass icon_url, or leave it out and the service's own site is checked for one.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `get_featured`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get site-wide featured/promoted services (max 3). These are paid placements clearly marked as ads.
```

### `get_protocol_stats`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get every protocol on botfriendly.xyz/protocols with adoption stats: how agents call a service and prove who sent them (MCP, OpenAPI, A2A, XAA) and the agent payment, authorization, and commerce protocols (x402, mpp, l402, ap2, tap, agent-pay, ace, acp, ucp, actp, icc). Each entry carries its sponsor, layer, spec URL, and count — how many listed services support it, or null for protocols that aren't a listing attribute (A2A, XAA).
```

### `get_service`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get full details for a specific service by its slug, including all protocol support, URLs, auth method, billing, and metadata.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List every BotFriendly category with its id (the search_services category value), human label, aliases (older slugs still accepted), description and service count.
```

### `search_services`

- The name "search_services" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the BotFriendly directory for bot-friendly services, APIs, and tools that AI agents can use. Filter by category, payment/commerce protocol support (x402, MPP, L402, AP2, TAP, Agent Pay, ACE, ACP, UCP, ACTP, ICC), auth method, and more. Results may start with up to 3 promoted listings (paid ads) pinned to the top — site-wide ads on unfiltered searches, category ads on category searches — clearly marked with promoted:true and ad:true. Use promoted=false to exclude ads.
```
