Questions
What counts as destructive?
A tool that deletes, overwrites or runs commands. We class every tool the source declares as read, write or destructive; a server is listed here when it has tools and none is destructive.
How is this different from read-only?
Read-only servers have only read tools (1,620 servers). This list also includes servers whose tools write: 1,525 of the 3,145 do.
Does no destructive tools mean safe?
No. 1,632 are SAFE, 521 CAUTION and 992 BLOCK on this list. The verdict comes from the audit of the source, not from the tool list alone.
