## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `transcribe_tiktok_video`

- 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
Transcribe the speech in a TikTok video to text from its link. The spoken language is detected automatically. Usually takes 20 to 60 seconds. Free use is limited per day and per video length; if the transcription is not finished when this call returns, it gives a job_id for get_transcription_result.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_transcription_result`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the result of a transcription that transcribe_tiktok_video started but did not finish in time. Pass the job_id that call returned.
```

### `get_youtube_transcript`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the transcript of a YouTube video from its link. Returns the captions YouTube has for the video (subtitles uploaded by the creator, or the auto-generated captions) as plain text, with the title, channel and the caption languages available. Does not work for videos without captions, or for private, members-only or age-restricted videos.
```

## Claude Code permissions
