## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (6)

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

### `benchmark`

- 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
The live test: the 5 proven models and 1 promising newcomer from discovery do the person's real tasks side by side, every requirement is judged, and the results pick the winner. First call (session + tasks) returns the estimate and an offer — nothing is spent. Show the person the cost; only when they agree, call again with offer and go=true. Runs on the person's OpenRouter key (X-OpenRouter-Key header). Save the returned report as a local file.
```

### `discover`

- 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
Discovery: finds the true requirements of the person's job before any model is chosen. Start with purpose: the reply carries the discovery instructions and the evidence catalogue. YOU ask the person the questions (one thing each, plain words, offering the returned choices); then call again with the sealed session, their answers and your structured updates. Each reply gives progress, rejected updates with reasons, next targets, answer choices from live data and a shortlist. At most 5 rounds. Ends with a confirmation view; call with confirm=true once the person agrees. The person can stop any time (end_now=true). Nothing about the person is stored by XFMS.
```

### `field_results`

- 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
Results from real comparisons on Model Source for one kind of job (call with no job_type for the list): which models passed, how often, which won, typical cost per task and the most common failure. Counted without anyone's job details. A starting point; test on the person's own work before choosing.
```

### `pick`

- 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
The single best proven model for a job worked out with discover, with why and the runners-up. Pass the discover session.
```

### `rank`

- 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
The full shortlist for a job worked out with discover: 5 proven models and 1 promising newcomer, each with its standing on every requirement, plus near misses and what would change the order. Pass the discover session.
```

### `watch_job`

- The description's first verb is "save": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Saves a finished job for XF Model Watch, which re-tests it as new models arrive and emails the person only when a model passes every must-have and ranks higher on their priorities. Needs a signed-in subscriber. Ask the person first: Model Watch keeps the job and its example tasks (encrypted, deletable any time). Pass consent=true only if they agree. Pass the discover session, and either test_session from a finished comparison or the tasks, plus the model they use now. The first check runs as soon as the job is saved. To re-check a job the person already watches, pass check_now with the job's id or title instead (once a day per job; the result is emailed and shown at /account).
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `compare`

- The name "compare" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Same live test as benchmark, but on the models the person names (model_ids). Needs a finished discover session so every requirement is judged. Estimate first, then go=true.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json

    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__xfms__rank",
