What this test does not check
- Its source code and packages.
- What a tool quietly does behind the scenes, such as writing a file or calling another service.
- Instructions hidden inside live tool answers. We only look for those in tool descriptions.
- Hidden instructions worded in a way our list doesn't know yet.
- Tools that could change something. Those are read, never run.
