Destructive-action audit

No destructive tools — audited read-only

Destructive-action audit (X2.18): no destructive tools — documentation search/fetch is read-only.

Known limitations

• Hosted remote endpoint — requires outbound network access to developers.openai.com; there is no local subprocess to launch.
• Documentation-only and read-only: it does not call the OpenAI API on your behalf and cannot modify any resource.
• No package version to pin — `version_pin.package` is null and `version_range` is `hosted`; drift is tracked via the snapshot tools-list rather than a semver range.
