## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `delete_template`

- The name "delete_template" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Delete a caller-owned template by ID. Library rows cannot be deleted. Mirrors DELETE /api/v1/templates/:id.
```

## Changes things (5)

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

### `render_markdown`

- 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
Render GitHub-flavored markdown to a real PDF (PDF/A-2A + PDF/UA-1 dual-compliant, tagged). **BILLED - consumes credits at the rate of 1 credit per 10 pages.** Returns JSON metadata (pageCount, creditsDeducted, creditsRemaining, artifactId) plus the PDF bytes as an embedded base64 resource. On the free plan the PDF is watermarked; paid plans render clean. Mirrors POST /api/v1/md. Run `validate_markdown` first - it is free and catches heading-hierarchy and alt-text problems before you pay to render them. There is no free markdown preview: markdown needs no layout iteration, so this is the only markdown render tool.
```

### `render_template`

- 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
Render any readable template (curated library row or caller-owned) to a real PDF. **BILLED — consumes credits at the rate of 1 credit per 10 pages.** Returns JSON metadata (pageCount, creditsDeducted, creditsRemaining, artifactId) plus the PDF bytes as an embedded base64 resource. On the free plan the PDF is watermarked; paid plans render clean. Mirrors POST /api/v1/render with the { templateId, data } body shape. Use `render_dsl_preview` first to confirm the layout — that's free and watermarked. Only call this once you're confident the template is right.
```

### `report_feedback`

- 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
Report feedback about this MCP server to the makesPDF team — where you got stuck, a tool error or description that misled you, a capability you needed but could not find, or a concrete suggestion for the server. Call it after a tool failed and you could not work out why, when an error message or tool description contradicted the skill file, when something you needed is missing, or when you have a specific improvement in mind. Write the problem in your own words: what you were trying to do, what you tried, and what you expected to happen. Do not include the user's document text, markdown, DSL source or data values. Describe the problem instead; if it concerns a specific render, pass its artifactId. This is not a support channel — nobody replies in real time. Calling it is free: it does not consume credits and does not affect the user's renders.
```

### `save_template`

- The name "save_template" says "save": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Save a user-owned DSL template for later reuse via /api/v1/render. Validates the DSL with the catalog before persisting. Free (no credits). Pass `sampleData` (any JSON value) so the template's binding shape is preserved — the modify-template flow on /ai/chat round-trips this back into the Render data panel when the user returns. Optional `description` is a one-sentence summary surfaced on /templates. Returns { templateId, name, createdAt }.
```

### `update_template`

- The name "update_template" says "update": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Update a saved template's DSL, name, description, and/or sampleData. Revalidates the DSL when provided. For `description` and `sampleData`: pass `null` to clear; omit to leave unchanged. Mirrors PUT /api/v1/templates/:id.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `get_template`

- The name "get_template" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a single template (library or caller-owned) by ID, including its full DSL source and sampleData. Mirrors GET /api/v1/templates/:id.
```

### `list_templates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List templates visible to the caller — both curated library templates (no owner) and the caller's own saved templates. Metadata only (no DSL bodies). Paginated. Use `owner: 'mine'` to restrict to your own; `owner: 'library'` for the curated catalog only; default `'all'` returns both. Optional `category`, `tags` (comma-separated, ANDed), and `q` (free-text over name + description) filters apply across both. Mirrors GET /api/v1/templates.
```

### `render_dsl_preview`

- The name "render_dsl_preview" says "preview": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Render a DSL template + data to a preview PDF. Free (no credits), always watermarked 'PREVIEW — NOT FOR USE'. Returns JSON metadata plus the PDF bytes as an embedded base64 resource. Mirrors POST /api/v1/preview.
```

### `validate_dsl`

- The name "validate_dsl" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validate a PDF template DSL script for structure, tag/style correctness, and accessibility issues. Runs catalog validation plus alt-text checks. Cheap — no rendering. Mirrors POST /api/v1/preview/validate.
```

### `validate_markdown`

- The name "validate_markdown" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validate a markdown document for PDF/UA-1 accessibility issues (heading hierarchy, missing alt text). Cheap — no rendering. Mirrors POST /api/v1/md/validate.
```
