Tool `list_javadoc_symbols` accepts unconstrained string input
The following string parameter(s) have no `maxLength` constraint: `artifactId`, `groupId`, `version`. Unbounded strings let an attacker stuff arbitrary payloads through the tool, including indirect-injection content.
fix: Add a `maxLength` to each string property, or constrain with an `enum` or `pattern`. Most legitimate tool inputs fit under a few hundred bytes.

Tool `list_javadoc_symbols` description mentions money but no `money` side-effect is declared
Description: "Enumerates the public API a library documents — classes, interfaces, traits, objects, enums, and annotations — for a Maven Central artifact version. Each entry includes the fully-qualified class name (`fqn`) and a `link` that can be passed to get_javadoc_symbol to read the rendered API documentation. Use this to answer 'which classes/types does library X have?' or 'find classes related to <topic>' — it is the fastest way to list the API by name without reading code. Prefer this over list_source_files whenever you only need class/type names. Only if this returns NotFoundError because no javadoc jar was published, fall back to list_source_files. Works against the live Maven Central catalog with no local install, build, or checkout required." -- this references money/payment/refund/etc., but the declared side_effects ([]) don't include `money`. A capframe-bind policy that relies on declared side_effects to scope spend caveats will under-scope this tool.
fix: Add `money` to the tool's `side_effects` declaration, or rewrite the description to clarify that no actual money moves.
