Changes things 1Claude Code: ask

    Why it is in this group

    • 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
    Render up to 256 KB of HTML to a PDF. Returns a download link to the PDF. Give the user the `download_url` so they can open the PDF. The link works for 15 minutes; after that, render again. The result is `{"download_url": "<link>", "pages": <page count>, "size_bytes": <PDF size>, "expires_in_minutes": 15}`. Only HTML and CSS are rendered; JavaScript is not run. For documents larger than 256 KB, use the REST API (`POST /v1/render`). Credits: 1 per call.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Render an HTML document to a PDF
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
