Claude Code: deny. ### `delete_account` - The name "delete_account" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something. - The description says "Permanently delete". - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Permanently delete the signed-in user's Kong Reviews account: their GitHub sign-in link and every saved stack. This cannot be undone. Only call it when the user explicitly asks to delete their account, after telling them what will be removed; pass confirm exactly as "delete my account". Needs sign-in. ``` ### `delete_saved_stack` - The name "delete_saved_stack" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something. - The description says "Permanently delete". - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Permanently delete one of the signed-in user's saved stacks by id. Only call it when the user explicitly asks to delete that stack; confirm the name first. Needs sign-in. ``` ## Changes things (8) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `check_fit` - 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 For each vendor, show whether each requirement is met on its cheapest plan, needs a higher tier (with that tier's cost), or is missing. ``` ### `estimate_cost` - 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 Monthly cost for one vendor at a given scale. Give mau (monthly active users) and a usage profile, or exact usage numbers. Picks the cheapest plan that fits unless plan_id is set. Example: {"vendor_id":"clerk","mau":25000}. ``` ### `evaluate_change` - The name "evaluate_change" says "evaluate": 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 When something changes (bill too high, growth, a missing feature such as SSO, a renewal), compare staying on the current plan, optimising with the same vendor, and switching vendor, including one-off switching cost and the month switching pays off. Example: {"category":"auth","current":{"vendor_id":"clerk","plan_id":"pro"},"mau_now":11000,"monthly_growth":0.18,"requirements":[{"capability":"auth.saml_sso"}]}. How to present the result: show stay, optimise and switch side by side with cumulative cost at each month given, the break-even month and any problems; show every caveat word for word. ``` ### `extract_requirements` - 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. - 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 Turn PRD or spec text into structured requirements (scale, capabilities, compliance, regions, budget) for plan_stack, without planning. recommend_stack does both in one call. Each requirement quotes the sentence it came from. Show them to the user to confirm before planning. Without a model on the server it reads the PRD with keyword rules (mode "rules") and also returns the capability vocabulary and instructions: as an assistant, prefer doing the extraction yourself and use the rules result only as a starting point. ``` ### `plan_stack` - 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 Given confirmed requirements as capability ids, recommend a vendor per category with a runner-up, requirement fit, cost now, cost at forecast scale, year-one cost after perks, cost cliffs, trade-offs and blockers. Use recommend_stack instead when you only have a plain-language description. Example: {"mau_now":5000,"mau_forecast":20000,"profile_id":"booking_marketplace","requirements":[{"capability":"auth.google"},{"capability":"payments.merchant_of_record"}],"founder":{"gateways":["mercury"]}}. How to present the result: show the stack table (pick and runner-up per category, monthly cost now and at forecast) and the totals. For each price give its source's verified date, or say it is unverified seed data. Show every caveat word for word; never round, merge or drop one. Mention requirement gaps, blockers and trade-offs. Link share_url so the user can open the full result on kongreviews.com. Do not add vendors or prices that are not in the result. ``` ### `project_stack` - 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 Month-by-month cost for a whole stack as users grow, with startup perks applied if requested, plus cost cliffs (forced plan upgrades, sharp jumps, credits running out). Example: {"vendors":[{"vendor_id":"supabase"},{"vendor_id":"vercel"}],"start_mau":2000,"monthly_growth":0.15,"months":24,"apply_perks":true,"founder":{"gateways":["mercury"]}}. ``` ### `recommend_stack` - The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. - Findings: warn annotation-conflict Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Start here. Describe the product in plain language and get a recommended stack with costs now and at scale, in one call. Write the description as the user would: what the product does, who signs in and how, how it charges, which emails it sends, compliance or data-region needs, and expected users now and in 12 months. Example: "A booking app for yoga studios. Members sign in with Google and pay a monthly subscription. Studios get paid out. EU data. 2,000 users at launch, 20,000 within a year." Pass a PRD as the description if you have one. Numbers you pass (mau_now, mau_forecast, budget_monthly_usd, profile_id) override what is read from the text. Before treating the plan as final, show the user the requirements it read (each quotes its sentence) and the open questions, and ask them to confirm or correct them; then call plan_stack with the corrected requirements. How to present the result: show the stack table (pick and runner-up per category, monthly cost now and at forecast) and the totals. For each price give its source's verified date, or say it is unverified seed data. Show every caveat word for word; never round, merge or drop one. Mention requirement gaps, blockers and trade-offs. Link share_url so the user can open the full result on kongreviews.com. Do not add vendors or prices that are not in the result. ``` ### `save_stack` - The name "save_stack" says "save": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Save a recommended stack to the signed-in user's Kong Reviews account so it can be reopened later and compared with current prices. Pass the share_url from recommend_stack or plan_stack (preferred) or the plan_stack arguments, plus a short name such as "Yoga booking MVP". Needs sign-in: if the user isn't signed in, the app will ask them to connect their Kong Reviews account. Only save when the user asks to keep or save a stack. ``` ## Only reads (8) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `compare_vendors` - The name "compare_vendors" says "compare": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Rank vendors in one category at a given scale. Vendors meeting every must-have come first, then cheapest. Ranking is by cost and fit only. Example: {"category":"auth","mau":50000,"requirements":[{"capability":"auth.saml_sso"}]}. ``` ### `find_cost_cliffs` - The name "find_cost_cliffs" says "find": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Scan a range of user counts for one vendor and report where cost jumps: forced plan upgrades and points where usage charges start. Example: {"vendor_id":"clerk","from_mau":1000,"to_mau":200000}. ``` ### `find_perks` - The name "find_perks" says "find": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Startup credits for the given vendors, and whether you qualify based on your bank, incorporation provider, accelerator or funding. Example: {"vendor_ids":["supabase","posthog"],"founder":{"gateways":["mercury"]}}. ``` ### `get_pricing` - The name "get_pricing" says "get": a word for reading. - Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "note": it reads notes. - Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Structured pricing and capabilities for one vendor: every plan, base fee, metered usage, limits, unmodelled costs, lock-in notes, source URL and verification date. ``` ### `get_saved_stack` - The name "get_saved_stack" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Re-run a saved stack with today's catalogue and compare it with when it was saved: monthly cost then and now, picks that changed, and vendors whose pricing changed. Use it when the user asks about a stack they saved, or whether prices moved. Pass the id from list_saved_stacks. Needs sign-in. How to present the result: show the stack table (pick and runner-up per category, monthly cost now and at forecast) and the totals. For each price give its source's verified date, or say it is unverified seed data. Show every caveat word for word; never round, merge or drop one. Mention requirement gaps, blockers and trade-offs. Link share_url so the user can open the full result on kongreviews.com. Do not add vendors or prices that are not in the result. ``` ### `list_capabilities` - The name "list_capabilities" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List the stacks the signed-in user saved, newest first, with their monthly cost when saved and a link to each. Use it when the user mentions "my stacks", "the stack I saved" or a saved stack by name; then call get_saved_stack for one of them. Needs sign-in. How to present: a short table of name, saved date and monthly cost when saved, each name linked to its share_url. ``` ### `list_vendors` - The name "list_vendors" says "list": a word for reading. - Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "list" and "database": it reads databases. - Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "list" and "email": it reads inbound email, which other people can write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List vendors in the pricing catalogue, optionally for one category (hosting, database, auth, email, payments, observability). ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `kongreviews`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__kongreviews__list_vendors", "mcp__kongreviews__list_capabilities", "mcp__kongreviews__get_pricing", "mcp__kongreviews__compare_vendors", "mcp__kongreviews__find_cost_cliffs", "mcp__kongreviews__find_perks", "mcp__kongreviews__list_saved_stacks", "mcp__kongreviews__get_saved_stack" ], "ask": [ "mcp__kongreviews__recommend_stack", "mcp__kongreviews__estimate_cost", "mcp__kongreviews__check_fit", "mcp__kongreviews__project_stack", "mcp__kongreviews__extract_requirements", "mcp__kongreviews__plan_stack", "mcp__kongreviews__evaluate_change", "mcp__kongreviews__save_stack" ], "deny": [ "mcp__kongreviews__delete_saved_stack", "mcp__kongreviews__delete_account" ] } } ``` Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about): - `mcp__kongreviews__recommend_stack`: untrusted-input - `mcp__kongreviews__list_vendors`: private-data, untrusted-input - `mcp__kongreviews__get_pricing`: private-data, untrusted-input - `mcp__kongreviews__extract_requirements`: untrusted-input
