## Changes things (4)

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

### `check_tool_failure`

- 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.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use FailEcho when another tool fails, before retrying blindly. Call this BEFORE retrying a failed tool, API or MCP call. Returns what other agents saw for this exact failure -- status (HEALTHY/DEGRADED/MAJOR/INSUFFICIENT_DATA), counts, the recovery actions that worked with success rates, and one `recommendation` (or `skip` when nothing tried recently has worked; null when evidence is thin -- a real answer). Works on your own history before anyone else joins. Free, anonymous, stores nothing, never rate limited.
```

### `report_recovery_outcome`

- 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
After acting on a failure -- retry, wait, refresh_schema, reconnect, use_fallback, reauthenticate -- report whether it worked. Every recommendation others get is built from these. Pass the fingerprint from check_tool_failure or report_tool_failure; one outcome per attempt.
```

### `report_tool_failure`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Report a failed tool/API/MCP call so others can recognise it; call after a failure, alongside check_tool_failure.

PRIVACY: this is a shared network. Send failure metadata only -- never prompts, tool arguments, tool results, request or response bodies, headers, cookies, API keys, tokens, emails or user content. Error text is normalized server-side and the raw string discarded. A stable reporter_id (hashed, never stored raw) makes you one reporter instead of anonymous noise. Writes are rate limited per client.
```

### `report_tool_success`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Report that a call SUCCEEDED. Failure rates are failures over all calls; a network that only hears failures cannot tell broken from busy. No error data -- service, operation, version, latency.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json

  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__failecho__check_tool_failure",
      "mcp__failecho__report_tool_failure",

      "mcp__failecho__report_recovery_outcome"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
