## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `elo_change`

- 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
Calculates how many rating points a player wins or loses for a win, draw and loss against an opponent, using the Elo formula. Also returns the expected score.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `rating_meaning`

- The description's first verb is "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Explains what a chess rating (Elo, Chess.com or Lichess) means: whether it is good, where it sits among online players, and a link to the full guide for that level. Use for questions like "is 1200 a good chess rating?"
```

### `recent_games`

- The description's first verb is "summarize": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Summarizes a player's recent public games on Chess.com or Lichess: wins, draws and losses, rating trend, results by colour, and most played openings. Links to a free Chess DNA analysis of the player's strengths and weaknesses.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__chess-dna__rating_meaning",
      "mcp__chess-dna__recent_games"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__chess-dna__elo_change"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
