## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "react_with_gif" 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 name "react_with_gif" says "react": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `react_with_gif`

- The name "react_with_gif" says "react": 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
Use this when GifSnap is selected for conversational GIF reactions. During that reaction chat, use one matching GIF for each casual social reply, including follow-ups like haha, xd, or laughter emojis, without requiring another @mention. Preserve the topic in query: cheeseburger hungry for a burger conversation, laughing for laughter, friendly wave for hello. On haha, xd, or laughter emojis, use query laughing, without reusing a previous burger/food/object topic. Preserve a subject only when the current message actually mentions it. The component displays one GIF; respond in TEXT ONLY alongside it, without an additional image or picker. Read reaction.description so you know what was displayed. Pass recent returned reaction.id values in excludeIds to avoid repeating GIFs. Respect stop or fewer-GIF requests and omit reactions for serious or purely factual tasks. Do not send transcripts or personal information.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `search_gifs`

- The name "search_gifs" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this when the user explicitly wants to search, browse or compare GIF choices. Search by emotion, character or brief phrase and show up to 6 choices with optional copy/share controls. For the assistant's own conversational GIF response, use react_with_gif instead. Send only short keywords; omit personal data and conversation transcripts. This searches existing GIFs; it does not create images or send messages.
```

## Claude Code permissions
