How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.

Tool	Risk	Side effects	Approval
ref_read_url Read the content of a url as markdown. The EXACT url from a 'ref_search_documentation' result should be passed to this tool.	read	false	unknown
ref_search_documentation Search for documentation on the web or github as well from private resources like repos and pdfs. Use Ref 'ref_read_url' to read the content of a url.	read	false	unknown
