## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "contextfetch_get_free_key" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "contextfetch_get_free_key" says "get": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (6)

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

### `contextfetch_answer`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Answer a question with passages quoted verbatim from the web, never generated: searches, scores every passage of the top pages with a cross-encoder and returns the best ones with [n] citations to their sources. Use it for quick factual lookups; the quotes may not fully answer an open-ended question. Costs 1 credit.
```

### `contextfetch_auto_reload`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Turn auto-reload on or off, or change it: when credits drop below `threshold`, the saved card buys `pack` again, up to `monthly_max_usd` per month. Needs an API key and a card saved at checkout. The monthly cap cannot be raised above $500 here.
```

### `contextfetch_crawl`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "contextfetch_crawl" says "crawl": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "crawl": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Crawl one website from a start URL and get its pages as Markdown: same-site links only, up to `max_depth` hops (<= 3) and `limit` pages (<= 50). Pass `query` to rank the pages by relevance and return only their relevant passages. Costs 1 credit per page returned.
```

### `contextfetch_deep_research`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Deep research in one call, no LLM: a deep search of the question, its sub-topics (or your sub_queries) as searches of their own, and the pages its list and index results link to, returned as one cited report: summary, key facts, a section per sub-topic and the sources, every passage quoted verbatim with [n]. Costs 10 credits. For a quick evidence pack use contextfetch_research.
```

### `contextfetch_get_free_key`

- The name "contextfetch_get_free_key" says "get": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a free ContextFetch API key (no signup, no payment) with starter credits, for when the keyless daily limit runs out. One key per network, ever: keep the key it returns and use it as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`.
```

### `contextfetch_research`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Research a question in one call, server-side: runs up to 5 web searches (sub-queries) concurrently, dedupes the pages by URL, ranks them all against the question with a cross-encoder and returns one Markdown evidence pack with numbered [n] sources and their query-pruned passages, quoted verbatim (no generated text). Costs 1 credit per sub-query. Pass your own `sub_queries` (distinct angles on the question) for better coverage; if omitted they are derived from `query`: the query, query + "documentation", and query + "benchmark" (speed or comparison questions) or + "example".
```

## Only reads (7)

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

### `contextfetch_balance`

- The description's first verb is "show": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show the API key's remaining credits, daily burn rate (7-day average) and auto-reload settings, including the last auto-reload error if a payment failed. Needs an API key (Authorization: Bearer); free.
```

### `contextfetch_extract_url`

- The description's first verb is "fetch": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "doc": it reads documents.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "contextfetch_extract_url" says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a public web page (docs, articles, GitHub files, arXiv papers) as clean Markdown with tables preserved. Pass `query` to get only the passages relevant to it instead of the whole page.
```

### `contextfetch_find_similar`

- The name "contextfetch_find_similar" says "find": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "find" and "doc": it reads documents.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "find" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find pages similar to a given URL (alternatives, related docs, competing libraries), excluding the source domain. Returns titles, URLs and the most relevant passages as Markdown.
```

### `contextfetch_map`

- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "list" and "website": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List a website's URLs without fetching its pages: its sitemaps (from robots.txt, else /sitemap.xml) plus the start page's links, same site only, up to `limit` (<= 5,000). Use it to find the right pages before contextfetch_extract_url or contextfetch_crawl. Costs 1 credit.
```

### `contextfetch_search`

- The name "contextfetch_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "search" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the web and get LLM-ready Markdown. Each result has its title, URL and only the passages relevant to the query (cross-encoder pruned context), so it costs far fewer tokens than raw pages. Use for current events, documentation, APIs, research and fact checking.
```

### `fetch`

- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "search" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the web. Returns {results: [{id, title, url}]} as JSON; pass an id to `fetch` for the page text.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__contextfetch__contextfetch_search",
      "mcp__contextfetch__contextfetch_balance",
      "mcp__contextfetch__search",
      "mcp__contextfetch__fetch"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__contextfetch__contextfetch_extract_url",
      "mcp__contextfetch__contextfetch_find_similar",

      "mcp__contextfetch__contextfetch_get_free_key"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
