## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `check_domain` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "check_domain" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (4)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `check_blacklists`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check an IPv4 address against about 18 IP blacklists (SpamCop, Barracuda, UCEPROTECT, PSBL, Mailspike, ...) or a domain against domain blacklists. Each list is verified with its test entries first, so lists that refuse public resolvers (such as Spamhaus) are reported as unavailable rather than clean.
```

### `check_domain`

- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Run every email-authentication check on a domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI, plus domain and mail-server blacklists) and return a score out of 100, per-check findings and a prioritized fix list. Use this first when asked whether a domain is set up correctly to send email.
```

### `check_record`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up and validate a single email DNS record for a domain, explaining each tag. record is one of spf, dmarc, dkim, bimi, mta-sts, tls-rpt, mx. SPF counts the 10-lookup limit; DMARC checks policy, reporting and external report authorization; DKIM sizes the key; MTA-STS fetches the policy file and compares it with the MX hosts; BIMI checks the logo (SVG Tiny PS) and mark certificate.
```

### `check_spam_words`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Scan an email subject and body (plain text or HTML) for spam-trigger phrases by category, ALL-CAPS, exclamation runs, emoji, URL shorteners and image-heavy HTML. Returns a low/medium/high risk reading and, optionally, a rule-based rewrite.
```

## Only reads (1)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `analyze_headers`

- The name "analyze_headers" says "analyze": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Parse raw email headers: the Received delivery path with per-hop delays, the receiving server's SPF/DKIM/DMARC verdicts, DMARC alignment of the From domain, DKIM signatures, the sending IP, and bulk-sender requirements such as one-click unsubscribe.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `email-tools`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__email-tools__analyze_headers"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__email-tools__check_domain",
      "mcp__email-tools__check_record",
      "mcp__email-tools__check_blacklists",
      "mcp__email-tools__check_spam_words"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
