-  Detects MCP tools that explicitly instruct the LLM to perform actions silently or hide

-  and "don't tell the user about", which indicate the tool is performing hidden operations
-  (e.g., credential harvesting, webhook subscriptions, data uploads) while instructing the

-description: |
-  Detects tools that claim read-only or safe functionality in their description but expose
