## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `city_pair` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "city_pair" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "irreversible".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `city_pair`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- 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
Journey facts between two cities (European coverage): fastest and typical duration, whether direct trains run, fewest changes, operators and the guide URL — plus legendary atlas routes on that corridor. Direction-insensitive. Figures are sampled from public schedule data, not live times — treat as planning estimates. An uncovered pair returns an error with a search_routes tip.
```

## Changes things (4)

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

### `atlas_stats`

- 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
One-call snapshot of what the World Train Map atlas covers: total route count, countries, combined length in km, the category list, number of city-pair guides, data snapshot date, and direct URLs to the main browse pages (world map, all routes, Europe/USA maps, night trains, scenic, by-country, city-to-city). Takes no parameters. Call it to learn what this server can answer, to cite dataset totals, or to link a browse page — it returns no individual routes; use search_routes or famous_routes for those.
```

### `famous_routes`

- 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
The world's most famous train journeys in World Train Map's renown order (rank 1 = most famous: Trans-Siberian, Glacier Express, Orient Express lineage, Shinkansen…), as compact facts with id and URL per route. Best first call for bucket-list and "greatest train trips" questions; use search_routes to find something specific, get_route for full detail on one route.
```

### `night_trains`

- 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
Sleeper routes from the atlas, sorted by renown — all of them by default, or only those starting or ending in a given city — with the per-city night-train guide URL when one exists. Use for overnight and sleeper questions; city_pair for concrete A-to-B times; search_routes for other route categories.
```

### `routes_in_country`

- 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
Every atlas route crossing one country, sorted by renown, plus that country's worldtrainmap.com hub URL when it exists. An unrecognised country returns an error, not an empty list. Use for "trains in X" questions; use search_routes to combine a country with text or category filters, night_trains for sleepers only.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_route`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full record for one atlas route by exact id: distance, fastest time, top speed, operator, rolling stock, opening year, ridership, story, on-route sights, photo and page URL, plus country-hub links. An unknown id returns up to 5 close-match suggestions instead of failing. Use search_routes first when you only have a name or city.
```

### `search_routes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free-text search over every route in the World Train Map atlas — matches route name, cities, train name, operator and countries, with optional category/country filters. Accent-insensitive; every word of the query must match. Returns compact per-route facts with id and worldtrainmap.com URL, sorted by renown with route-name matches first; with no query it lists the whole atlas by renown. Use get_route with a returned id for full detail, famous_routes for a ready-made top list, city_pair for A-to-B journey times.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `atlas`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__atlas__search_routes",
      "mcp__atlas__get_route"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__atlas__famous_routes",
      "mcp__atlas__routes_in_country",
      "mcp__atlas__night_trains",
      "mcp__atlas__city_pair",
      "mcp__atlas__atlas_stats"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
