What it actually did when run

observed

Loaded in a sandbox with no network, a read-only filesystem and a recording stand-in for pi's API. This is what it called — not what the source suggests it might.

Tools registered web_searchweb_fetch

APIs called registerCommandregisterToolui.notifyui.selectui.select.startsWith

1 call the source scan did not predict

ui.select.startsWith

Reached through a value the scan could not follow — passed as an argument, stored on another object, or returned by a helper.

Run against version 0.1.3 on 2026-08-02. Registration-time behaviour under default settings; other configurations may differ.
