canon_search

Search CanonCannon for ideas that recur across podcasts — claims extracted from 10,000+ episodes of 162 tracked shows, each with the MEASUREMENT behind its status: how many independent podcasts and speakers repeat it (excluding whoever originated it) and the bar in force. Use this to tell real cross

canon_get

The full CanonCannon entry for one idea — the claim, the evidence behind it, the nuance and gaps, related entries and books — alongside its measurement (independent podcast count, independent speaker count, the bar in force, and when it was last verified). Get the slug from canon_search. Requires a

canon_episode_search

Search the CanonCannon episode corpus — 10,000+ podcast episodes with the ideas, guests and books extracted from each. Filter by show, by publication date, or by free text. Requires a CanonCannon API key via _apiKey. Example: canon_episode_search({ query: "sleep apnea", since: "2026-01-01" }).

canon_episode_get

One podcast episode from CanonCannon with everything extracted from it — the ideas it raised, its guests, and the books mentioned. Get the slug from canon_episode_search. Requires a CanonCannon API key via _apiKey. Example: canon_episode_get({ slug: "pa-392-sleep-apnea" }).

canon_person_get

What one person has actually said across podcasts, per CanonCannon — their appearances by show and the ideas attributed to them, drawn from 3,800+ people in the corpus. Answers "does this person keep making this claim, and where" rather than "who is this person". Requires a CanonCannon API key via _

canon_podcast_list

Every podcast CanonCannon tracks, with its episode count — the roster that forms the denominator of the canon bar (an idea needs ceil(5%) of these shows to clear it). Requires a CanonCannon API key via _apiKey. Example: canon_podcast_list({ limit: 100 }).

canon_podcast_get

One tracked show from CanonCannon, with its episode count and metadata. Get the slug from canon_podcast_list. Requires a CanonCannon API key via _apiKey. Example: canon_podcast_get({ slug: "peter-attia-drive" }).

canon_corpus_stats

CanonCannon corpus size and the canon bar CURRENTLY in force — entry, episode, idea and person counts, the tracked-podcast count, and the independent-podcast threshold an idea must clear. Call this to state the standard you are quoting: the bar is ceil(5% of tracked podcasts), so it rises as the cor

canon_citations

Every episode that cites one CanonCannon idea — which show, when, which speakers, and whether the originator was involved. This is the tool that answers "is this actually consensus, or one person repeating themselves", because the count excludes whoever originated the idea. Requires a CanonCannon AP

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

9/9 tools missing one or more hints — canon_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); canon_get (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); canon_episode_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +6 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
