Claude Code: ask. ### `host.feedback.send` - The name "host.feedback.send" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Tell the host's humans what you needed: kind, up to 2048 bytes of text, optional context. Works before signup. Returns feedback_id. ``` ### `host.tool_publish` - The name "host.tool_publish" says "publish": a word for a change that another call does not undo. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Publish a tool of a registered kind (e.g. python, http or echo; the kind argument's enum lists them all) under this tenant's namespace. Call host.quickstart(kind) first for a filled-in example spec and the full publish-to-call sequence. Python's sandbox API: import mcphost (mcphost.table, mcphost.state, mcphost.docs). Name must match ^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{1,40}$; a rejection names the failing field and a corrected example. Try host.tool_test before a real call. ``` ## Changes things (9) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `billing.plans` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text The plan catalog (price and quotas per plan) and whether Stripe billing is configured on this host. Anonymous callers get the same answer as tenants. ``` ### `host.errors` - The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading. - The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List every error code this host can return, each with its class (agent_fault | host_refusal | upstream_fault | plan_limit | host_fault), family, remedy, docs anchor, retryable flag and help_url -- the same object GET /errors.json serves. Pass code to get one row; a misspelt code answers tool_not_found with did_you_mean. Read-only, anonymous, no tenant data. ``` ### `host.redeem` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Exchange a signup(handoff: true) handoff_token for the tenant key it was issued for. Single-use: a second redemption fails with handoff_token_redeemed; past its expiry it fails with handoff_token_expired. Unauthenticated -- the token itself is the proof. ``` ### `host.resume` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Resume where you left off in one call (at most 4096 bytes): your tools with each one's last call status, unfinished runs, your newest notes, what changed on the host since your last call, and one suggested next_call. truncated names any section that was cut -- call that section's own tool (host.tool.list, host.runs.list, host.note.list, host.changelog) for the rest. Read-only. An unauthenticated caller gets the onboarding block and creates no tenant. ``` ### `host.state.set` - The name "host.state.set" says "set": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Write one key in this tenant's key-value state namespace; value may be any JSON value. Overrun of the plan's state_bytes_max quota fails with state_quota_exceeded and writes nothing. ``` ### `host.tool_call` - The name "host.tool_call" says "call": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Invoke a tool this tenant has already published, by its local name -- the same real, metered call as calling it directly by its namespaced name (.), for a session that has no way to see its own namespaced tool name yet. Unlike host.tool_test, this counts toward host.usage and appears in host.tool_logs. Pass async: true for a tool that needs more than the call deadline: returns {run_id, status: "queued"} immediately instead of running inline -- see host.runs.get/wait. Pass version to pin the call to one of host.tool_history's versions instead of whichever is current. ``` ### `host.tool_share` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Share one of this tenant's published tools with everyone (visibility: "public") or with a named group this tenant owns (visibility: "group", group: ). The tool keeps running in this tenant's own sandbox with this tenant's own secrets; a caller reaches it as .. ``` ### `host.tool_test` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Dry-run a published tool by name: verdict (pass/will_fail/unverifiable), writes rolled back (dry_run); see host.quickstart. ``` ### `signup` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - Findings: high model-directed-text, info credentials-mention Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Explicit signup, for a client that cannot keep a session across calls: create a tenant and receive a bearer key and namespace. Unauthenticated. Most clients never need this -- any other host.*/billing.* call from a fresh connection creates a tenant implicitly and returns its own /u//mcp URL in the response's onboarding field. Recommended here: pass handoff: true to receive a short-lived, single-use handoff_token instead of the raw key -- redeem it once with host.redeem to get the key, so a transcript of this call and the redeem call, if it leaks, carries a dead credential. The raw-key path (handoff omitted) stays fully supported. ``` ## Only reads (7) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `host.feedback.list` - The name "host.feedback.list" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List your own feedback (newest first, status received). Anonymous callers get []. ``` ### `host.help.get` - The name "host.help.get" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return the documentation section an anchor points at: its text (at most 4 KB) and its first fenced example. Pass an anchor exactly as an error, hint or help entry printed it, e.g. a rate_limited error's `anchor`. Read-only, anonymous, no tenant data. An unknown anchor is anchor_not_found with the nearest anchors in did_you_mean. ``` ### `host.help.search` - The name "host.help.search" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search this host's own documentation and tool descriptions. Returns up to k hits (default 3, response under 2 KB), each with a snippet, the nearest runnable example and an anchor. Read-only, anonymous, no tenant data -- call it with the error text or import line you are stuck on before reading any docs file. ``` ### `host.quickstart` - The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return the shortest ordered sequence of calls to a working tool of `kind`, with your namespace and a filled-in example already substituted in, plus the current limits and a try_before_call table naming the one dry-run tool for each case. Read-only -- this call alone never creates a tenant. Call this before host.tool_publish if you're not sure what a spec should look like. Unauthenticated callers get a worked example with no tenant data; any other host.*/billing.* call creates a tenant on first use, no signup required. ``` ### `host.state.get` - The name "host.state.get" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Read one key from this tenant's key-value state namespace. Returns found: false (not an error) if the key was never set. ``` ### `host.state.list` - The name "host.state.list" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List keys (with their current values) in this tenant's key-value state namespace, optionally filtered by prefix. ``` ### `host.whoami` - The name "host.whoami" says "whoami": a word for reading. - Findings: info credentials-mention Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return the calling tenant's identity, including key_age_s and key_rotated_at for auditing credential hygiene. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `mcphost`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__mcphost__host_quickstart", "mcp__mcphost__host_help_search", "mcp__mcphost__host_help_get", "mcp__mcphost__host_whoami", "mcp__mcphost__host_state_get", "mcp__mcphost__host_state_list", "mcp__mcphost__host_feedback_list" ], "ask": [ "mcp__mcphost__signup", "mcp__mcphost__host_errors", "mcp__mcphost__host_redeem", "mcp__mcphost__billing_plans", "mcp__mcphost__host_tool_publish", "mcp__mcphost__host_tool_call", "mcp__mcphost__host_tool_test", "mcp__mcphost__host_state_set", "mcp__mcphost__host_tool_share", "mcp__mcphost__host_feedback_send", "mcp__mcphost__host_resume" ], "deny": [] } } ```
