}Search ChronoDrawer, a month-by-month database (1960-2026) of what happened and what was released around the world: events, Japanese laws, openings, sports, music, films, TV, anime, games, manga, books, magazines, prizes, cars, mobile phones. Matches titles, English titles and people (artists, directors, authors). Japanese and English queries both work; person_match is true when one of the item's people is exactly the query. Returns dates (YYYY-MM-DD, or YYYY-MM when only the month is known), countries, date type and a source URL.

}We read every tool's name, description and inputs the way the model will, looking for instructions hidden from you. A clean result means no warning signs, not a guarantee. Scanned Nov 1, 2026.
No readOnlyHint / destructiveHint annotations, so clients can't tell a read from a write without asking.
Fix: Add annotations to each tool, e.g. { readOnlyHint: true } for tools that only read.
