## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `skillmd_recommend`

- 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
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.
```

### `skillmd_trending`

- 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
Top skills on the SkillMD leaderboard, ranked by installs, saves and ratings, optionally within one category and time window.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `skillmd_download`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `skillmd_get`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `skillmd_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the SkillMD registry of Agent Skills (SKILL.md files) by task, name or keywords. Returns matching skills with their owner/name slug, description, category, safety verdict and install snippet, best match first.
```
