What is Admin's official position on 3rd party tools, web-based or otherwise, that do not require or request login information?

as far as I am informed, everything that does not directly access the CN database/website is legal. So, you can of course put all your nation data into an excel file and do some math, or make scripts doing the math for you. Same for php-calculators or such, there are plenty of examples.

But: users must copypaste or manually enter data there, the tool is not allowed to get the data automatically.

no guarantee given, of course, but thats the assumption under which our tools work.
