Claude Code: deny. ### `update_cart` - The name "update_cart" says "update": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Findings: info credentials-mention Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Update a Shopify-owned cart through the configured Cart/Storefront MCP endpoint. Owner-bound: requires the cart_access_token returned by create_cart, so only the session that created a cart can change it. With UCP endpoints, treat updates as full-state PUT semantics; with the confirmed standard Storefront MCP endpoint, Commonlands maps line_items to Shopify add_items, update_items to quantity changes, and remove_line_ids to explicit removals. Quantity 0 in update_items removes a line. ``` ## Can't be undone (1) Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask. ### `prepare_shopify_purchase_handoff` - The name "prepare_shopify_purchase_handoff" says "purchase": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back. - 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 Build a read-only Shopify-native purchase handoff seam for a selected lens without creating carts, checkout, orders, inventory mutations, or writes. Preserve any computed FoV provenance from calculate_field_of_view/match_lens_to_sensor when carrying optical context into purchase handoff. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. ``` ## Changes things (3) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `create_cart` - The name "create_cart" says "create": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Create a Shopify-owned cart for selected variant line items through the configured Shopify Cart/Storefront MCP endpoint. Commonlands MCP is a stateless proxy: cart state is stored and mutated by Shopify, not in the Worker. The response includes a cart_access_token that binds the cart to this session; retain it, because get_cart and update_cart refuse to act on the cart without it. ``` ### `recommend_lenses_for_application` - 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 Rank Commonlands M12 lenses and C-mount lenses for an application note such as embedded robotics, machine-vision inspection, or a required lens field of view. Use as an application shortlist helper, then call match_lens_to_sensor or calculate_field_of_view for final per-sensor HFOV/VFOV/DFOV. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. ``` ### `submit_rfq` - The name "submit_rfq" says "submit": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Forward a buyer request-for-quote or engineering question to the Commonlands engineering team. Two-step, buyer-confirmed: the first call returns a preview and sends nothing; show the buyer the preview (including their reply-to email) and, only after they explicitly approve, call again with confirm: true to send. The recipient is fixed to the Commonlands inbox (the agent cannot choose it); this only sends an inquiry and never creates an order, charges a card, or writes Shopify/customer data. Include part numbers, sensor, quantity, and application when known so the team can reply with a quote. Commonlands replies by email. ``` ## Only reads (16) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `calculate_field_of_view` - The name "calculate_field_of_view" says "view": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Calculate Commonlands lens field of view for a lens/sensor pair and return HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, coverage, distortion status, and an explicit rectilinear comparison. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. Accepts lens_sku/lensSku or focal_length_mm/focalLengthMm, plus sensor/sensorPartNumber/sensor_part_number and working_distance_mm/workingDistanceMm. No part number? Describe the sensor directly: widthPx + heightPx + pixelSizeUm (active area is derived as pixels x pitch), or sensorWidthMm + sensorHeightMm. Results are labelled CUSTOM-x. If only focal length is supplied, the response is marked as a rectilinear reference and does not claim Commonlands distortion-corrected lens truth. ``` ### `compare_lenses` - The name "compare_lenses" says "compare": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Compare selected Commonlands M12 lens and C-mount lens SKUs on the same sensor with the same deterministic scoring model. Use as explanatory context, then call calculate_field_of_view for final sensor-specific FoV values when precision matters. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. Not live product truth; verify purchasable facts with read_shopify_products. ``` ### `get_cart` - The name "get_cart" says "get": a word for reading. - Findings: info credentials-mention Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Retrieve a Shopify-owned cart by cart id. Owner-bound: requires the cart_access_token returned by create_cart, so only the session that created a cart can read it. Cart persistence comes from Shopify; agents must retain the cart id, cart_access_token, and continue_url across sessions. ``` ### `get_catalog_snapshot_status` - The name "get_catalog_snapshot_status" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return fixture-backed joined catalog counts, validation status, source provenance, live connector readiness, and non-authoritative product-truth warning. ``` ### `get_lens_distortion_profile` - The name "get_lens_distortion_profile" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return the Commonlands distortion model/status for one lens SKU, including whether the data is source-display-only or backend-calculated. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. Use this for distortion, rectilinear-vs-wide-angle, MTF/CRA/BFL/optical-profile questions when upstream fields are present. Do not invent polynomial coefficients or claim measured distortion correction when the backend only returns display distortion. ``` ### `get_product` - The name "get_product" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fixture-backed UCP Catalog product detail alias with Commonlands optical metadata and Shopify-native handoff fields. Product optical fields are not a substitute for sensor-specific FoV; call calculate_field_of_view for the lens/sensor pair. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. ``` ### `get_product_page_details` - The name "get_product_page_details" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return fixture-backed product-page handoff details for one lens, including DynamoDB-sourced optical specs and gated datasheet policy. Product-page/catalog optical fields are not a substitute for sensor-specific FoV; call calculate_field_of_view for the lens/sensor pair. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. Use read_shopify_products for live product URL, price, availability, variant IDs, and metafields. ``` ### `get_purchase_route_options` - The name "get_purchase_route_options" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return safe dual-channel purchase route options for AI agents and robotics engineers across Commonlands MCP and Shopify-native channels without mutating commerce state. This explains commerce routes only; call calculate_field_of_view/match_lens_to_sensor for sensor-specific FoV before recommending a lens. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. ``` ### `get_sensor_specs` - The name "get_sensor_specs" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return sensor dimensions, pixel pitch, and resolution for lens field of view, M12 lens, and C-mount lens matching inputs. In production this uses the read-only live sensor table when configured, with fixture fallback when unavailable. Use these specs as inputs to calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor, not as a reason to hand-calculate FoV. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. ``` ### `get_shopify_readonly_config_status` - The name "get_shopify_readonly_config_status" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Report sanitized Cloudflare Shopify binding presence, approved read scopes, and read-only safety flags without exposing secrets or calling Shopify. ``` ### `get_shopify_ucp_readiness` - The name "get_shopify_ucp_readiness" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Report connector-free Shopify Storefront MCP and UCP Catalog compatibility, launch blockers, and Commonlands engineering differentiators. ``` ### `lookup_catalog` - The name "lookup_catalog" says "lookup": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fixture-backed UCP Catalog lookup alias for product, variant, SKU, handle, or URL identifiers; returns not-found messages instead of writes. Lookup records are not enough for sensor-specific FoV; call calculate_field_of_view for known lens/sensor pairs. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. ``` ### `match_lens_to_sensor` - The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Find and rank Commonlands lenses for a sensor, target field of view, working distance, mount, or "lens for" request. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. Use this for AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, sensor part numbers, M12/C-mount matching, and target HFOV/VFOV/DFOV workflows; do not shortlist from focal length alone. No part number? Describe the sensor directly: widthPx + heightPx + pixelSizeUm (active area is derived as pixels x pitch), or sensorWidthMm + sensorHeightMm. Results are labelled CUSTOM-x. Use read_shopify_products afterward for live stock, price, availability, Shopify variantId, product URL, and metafields. ``` ### `read_shopify_products` - The name "read_shopify_products" says "read": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Use this for live purchasable product truth: product and variant IDs, SKUs, prices, coarse availability, product URLs, and public product-page metafields. Public data only: active products, no exact inventory counts, and metafields limited to the custom.* display fields shown on commonlands.com product pages. Read-only; does not create carts, checkouts, orders, customers, inventory mutations, or Shopify writes. Fixture catalog tools are scaffold data only. ``` ### `search_catalog` - The name "search_catalog" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fixture-backed UCP Catalog search alias for Shopify-native product discovery; no live Shopify calls or cart behavior. Use this only for broad discovery; when a sensor or target FoV is involved, call match_lens_to_sensor or calculate_field_of_view instead of estimating from catalog fields. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. ``` ### `search_lens_catalog` - The name "search_lens_catalog" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search the Commonlands lens catalog by SKU, mount, lens type, M12, C-mount, or application text. For sensor part numbers such as AR0234, IMX290, and IMX477, or any "lens for " request, use match_lens_to_sensor instead — sensor names are not searchable text here. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. This discovers candidate lenses from Commonlands catalog/live backend data; it does not replace calculate_field_of_view for sensor-specific HFOV/VFOV/DFOV and does not replace read_shopify_products for live stock/price/product truth. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `optics`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__optics__calculate_field_of_view", "mcp__optics__match_lens_to_sensor", "mcp__optics__search_lens_catalog", "mcp__optics__get_lens_distortion_profile", "mcp__optics__get_sensor_specs", "mcp__optics__compare_lenses", "mcp__optics__get_product_page_details", "mcp__optics__get_catalog_snapshot_status", "mcp__optics__get_shopify_ucp_readiness", "mcp__optics__get_shopify_readonly_config_status", "mcp__optics__read_shopify_products", "mcp__optics__get_cart", "mcp__optics__search_catalog", "mcp__optics__lookup_catalog", "mcp__optics__get_product", "mcp__optics__get_purchase_route_options" ], "ask": [ "mcp__optics__create_cart", "mcp__optics__prepare_shopify_purchase_handoff", "mcp__optics__recommend_lenses_for_application", "mcp__optics__submit_rfq" ], "deny": [ "mcp__optics__update_cart" ] } } ```
