**9 tools: 1 do something that can't be undone and 8 change things.**

## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | none |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | none |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__developer-tools__what_changed` |

## Findings

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

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

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

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "types_check" says "type": a word for a change.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `what_changed`

- 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.to): what the tool writes goes there.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What breaks, gets removed, is deprecated, or gains a security fix when upgrading one package between two versions, with an overall upgrade risk.
```

## Changes things (8)

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

### `native_check`

- 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
Before building on Alpine, Linux ARM, Windows ARM, a Mac or Lambda, checks which npm dependencies contain native code and whether a prebuilt binary exists for the target platform. For those that would compile from source (needing a C/C++ toolchain and Python) or fail, gives the nearest newer version that ships a prebuilt for that platform, with that upgrade's risk.
```

### `node_check`

- 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
Before moving a project to a new Node.js version (e.g. off Node 20 to 22 or 24), checks each npm dependency's declared Node support (its engines field). For each that doesn't support the target, gives the smallest newer release that does, with that upgrade's risk. Works from a package-lock.json without installing anything.
```

### `package_info`

- 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
Latest and latest stable version, repository, release count, and where its release notes come from.
```

### `peer_check`

- 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
Before upgrading a core npm package (react, typescript, eslint, vite...), checks every dependency in the project that declares it as a peer dependency: does the installed version accept the new version, and if not, the smallest release that does, with that upgrade's risk. Also checks the new version's own peer requirements against what's installed. Answers the questions behind npm's ERESOLVE errors without running npm.
```

### `types_check`

- The name "types_check" says "type": a word for a change.
- 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
For a TypeScript project: which dependencies ship their own type declarations, which need a DefinitelyTyped @types package (and the version that matches the installed library), and which installed @types packages describe a different major version than the library.
```

### `upgrade_check`

- 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
Give it a project's dependencies: a requirements.txt or pip freeze output for Python, or a package-lock.json, package.json, or name@version lines for npm. Flags malicious packages and versions with known vulnerabilities (with the smallest safe version to move to, preferring a low-risk patch), then reports what each upgrade breaks, removes, or deprecates, ranked into remove_now / fix_now / no_fix_available / upgrade_first / safe / review / needs_care.
```

### `vulnerabilities`

- 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
Is this exact version of a package affected by known security advisories? Returns each vulnerability (with CVE ids and severity), the versions that fix it, and the smallest safe upgrade.
```

### `wheel_check`

- 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
For each pinned Python package, whether a prebuilt wheel exists for a target Python version and platform (Windows ARM, Alpine/musl, Linux ARM, macOS, a new Python version). Without one, pip builds from source, which usually fails without a compiler for packages with C extensions. For each that's missing, gives the nearest newer version that has a wheel, with that upgrade's risk.
```

## Claude Code permissions
