## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "do_file_job" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

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


## Changes things (6)

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

### `check_job`

- 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 the status of a previously submitted file job (translate_file, extract_tables, compress_file). Returns the current status, preview + checkout link for completed paid jobs, or the download URL for completed free/paid-and-unlocked jobs.
```

### `compress_file`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compress a file (PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV, WebM) down to an exact target size — e.g. "under 5MB for an upload form". FREE (daily limit applies). Returns a download URL on success; if the target is physically unreachable it fails honestly and reports the smallest achievable size. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.
```

### `convert_file`

- The name "convert_file" says "convert": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Convert a file from one format to another. Anonymous callers get 25 free conversions per month per network; after that a free verified ChangeThisFile API key is required (25/month shared across REST + MCP; send it as Authorization: Bearer ctf_sk_…). Pass EITHER a publicly accessible URL (source_url) OR base64-encoded file contents (base64_content + source_format) — exactly one is required. Returns a temporary download URL (valid 1 hour; file deleted within 24 hours).
```

### `do_file_job`

- The description's first verb is "describe": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Describe what you want done to a file in plain language — e.g. "translate this contract to German", "pull every table out of this PDF into Excel", "shrink this video to under 25MB", "convert this to PDF". The instruction is routed to the right job automatically; if the request is not supported yet you get an honest explanation of what is. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.
```

### `extract_tables`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Extract every table from a PDF or image (PNG, JPG, WebP) into a clean multi-sheet Excel file. The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first table plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full .xlsx unlocks after payment ($3.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.
```

### `translate_file`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Translate a document into another language with the original layout and formatting preserved (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, TXT, MD, SRT, VTT). The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first pages plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full translated file unlocks after payment ($4.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `list_conversions`

- The name "list_conversions" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all supported conversion routes. Optionally filter by source format to see what you can convert FROM a specific format.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `changethisfile`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__changethisfile__list_conversions"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__changethisfile__convert_file",
      "mcp__changethisfile__translate_file",
      "mcp__changethisfile__extract_tables",
      "mcp__changethisfile__compress_file",
      "mcp__changethisfile__do_file_job",
      "mcp__changethisfile__check_job"
    ],
