Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • skillmd_recommendRecommend skills.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • 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
    Recommend skills. With based_on set to a skill's owner/name slug, returns the top skills in that skill's category (excluding itself); without it, returns what is trending over the last 30 days.

    Annotations the server declares

  • skillmd_downloadReturn the full contents of any public skill by owner/name slug: the SKILL.md text plus every companion file for packs, ready to write to disk.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the full contents of any public skill by owner/name slug: the SKILL.md text plus every companion file for packs, ready to write to disk. Skills are plain-text instructions an agent reads on demand; nothing executes, and every listed skill has passed SkillMD's safety review.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "skillmd_get" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch one skill by owner/name slug: description, SKILL.md body, provenance (source repo and pinned commit), license, safety verdict and capability flags, plus companion file listing for packs.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
