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

### `add_version`

- The name "add_version" says "add": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Saves a melody as the version of an existing song for one box (a song can have one version per box: 15, 20, 30 notes or freestyle). Replaces that box's version if it exists. Works on the signed-in person's songs, or on a song saved without an account if you pass its claim_token. The melody must have no errors.
```

### `delete_song`

- The name "delete_song" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The description says "Permanently deletes".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Permanently deletes one of the signed-in person's songs (all its box versions), or a song you saved without an account (pass its claim_token). This cannot be undone: tell the person which song will be deleted, ask them to confirm, then call again with confirmed: true.
```

## Changes things (7)

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

### `create_song`

- The name "create_song" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Saves a melody as a new private song. The melody must have no errors (run validate_melody or fit_melody_to_box first); warnings such as notes repeated too quickly are saved and marked, as in the composer. If the person is signed in, the song goes to their account and you get a link to open it in the composer. Without an account the song is saved anonymously and you get a claim link: give it to the person so they can keep it (valid 30 days). Set save_to_my_account to true to ask the person to sign in first (apps that cannot sign in mid-conversation should save without an account and give the claim link instead). Limits: 5 songs a day without an account, 15 a day with one.
```

### `export_song`

- The description's first verb is "create": 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
Creates a download link for one box version of a song: an MP3, a MIDI file or a printable strip PDF to cut and punch for a hand-crank music box ("pdf_long" is one continuous strip, "pdf_a4"/"pdf_letter" are sliced to fit the page). Works on the person's songs and on public tunes. Requires signing in, like exporting in the composer.
```

### `fit_melody_to_box`

- 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
Adjusts a melody so it can be played on a music box and lists every change. Strategies: "transpose" (shift the whole melody to the key that fits best), "nearest_note" (move each unplayable note to the closest playable one), "transpose_then_nearest" (default: both). Optionally snaps notes to a grid. Returns the new melody and its validation.
```

### `import_midi`

- The name "import_midi" says "import": 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
Converts a MIDI file (base64, up to 512 KB) into the melody format and validates it for a box, so you can fit, edit and save it. Drums are ignored. Saves nothing.
```

### `prepare_order`

- 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
Prepares a custom melody or strip design order with all its details and returns a link to the Musicboxmelodies cart, where the person reviews it, adds photos if needed, applies discount codes and pays with PayPal. Nothing is charged here. The link works for 7 days. Confirm the song, the variation and the price with the person before calling it. The price is calculated by the site.
```

### `render_audio`

- The description's first verb is "create": 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
Creates an MP3 of a melody (before or without saving it) or of a saved song, so you and the person can hear it. Pass either song_id or a melody (box, bpm, notes). Sounds: "synth" (free, the site's default sound) or "music_box" (real music box recordings for the box; PRO accounts only). Saved songs use the sound their author chose unless you pass one. Up to 5 minutes; 20 new audios a day without an account and 60 with one (the same melody again is free).
```

### `set_song_visibility`

- The name "set_song_visibility" says "set": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Makes one of the signed-in person's songs public (anyone can find and play it on musicboxmelodies.com) or private. Only make a song public when the person asked for it: ask them to confirm, then call again with confirmed: true.

```

### `get_product_options`

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Gets a music box tune with its notes in the melody format (the same one validate_melody accepts), for one box version.

```

### `list_music_boxes`
