## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_certificate`

- The description's first verb is "run": 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
Run a live TLS handshake against host:port and audit the certificate the server presents. Returns an A/B/C/F grade and summary, expiry (days remaining), hostname match, chain completeness and trust against Mozilla's root store, negotiated TLS version and cipher suite, key type/size, findings, and a link to the full report. Revocation (OCSP/CRL) is NOT checked. Hosts on Cloudflare's own network cannot be checked live (result: isError with code live_check_unavailable, no grade); a failed handshake returns check_failed with no grade. Read-only: it only opens a TLS connection to the public host. Same engine, cache and limits as the CertGuard JSON API (GET /api/v1/check).
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__certguard__check_certificate"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
