## Changes things (9)

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

### `feature_request`

- The name "feature_request" says "request": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Request a feature or format that Caliper doesn't support yet.

    Free, no payment required. Use this when you need a capability that
    Caliper doesn't currently offer — especially unsupported file formats
    (STEP, IGES) or analysis features not yet available. Requests are
    logged and used to prioritize development.
    Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy
    
```

### `format_auto`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Auto-detect geometry file format and extract metadata statistics.

    Accepts a 3D geometry file via URL or base64 and returns structured
    metadata: bounding boxes, triangle counts, manifold analysis, point
    cloud statistics, and more. This is a read-only analysis tool — it
    does not perform mesh repair, format conversion, or boolean operations.

    Supported formats: STL, OBJ, PLY, PCD, LAS/LAZ, glTF/GLB.
    STEP and IGES support is planned.

    Provide either file_url (preferred for large files) or file_b64
    (for files under 200KB). Include filename for format detection if
    using file_b64. When using file_url, the format is detected from
    the URL path extension; filename is not required.

    Files under 150KB are free. Larger files cost $0.02/MB via x402
    (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe; adds $0.35 surcharge).
    If payment is required, the response includes payment details.
    Retry with the payment argument containing the payment proof.

```

### `format_detect`

- 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
Detect the geometry file format from a filename or URL.

    Returns the detected format name and whether it is currently supported.
    Use this to check format support before making a paid analysis call.
    No payment required. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy
    
```

### `format_gltf`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Extract metadata from a glTF or GLB file.

    Returns asset info, scene graph structure, mesh/material/texture
    counts, vertex and index totals, feature flags (normals, tangents,
    texcoords, colors, joints), primitive modes, and extensions.

    Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto
    for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy
    
```

### `format_las`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Extract metadata from a LAS or LAZ point cloud file.

    Returns LAS version, point format, point count, scale factors,
    offsets, bounding box, classification counts, feature flags
    (RGB, intensity, GPS time, waveform), and VLR information.

    Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto
    for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy
    
```

### `format_obj`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Extract metadata from an OBJ file.

    Returns vertex/normal/texcoord/face counts, triangle/quad/polygon
    breakdown, material and group counts, bounding box, surface area,
    and triangulation status.

    Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto
    for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy
    
```

### `format_pcd`

    bounding box, centroid, and point density estimate.

    Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto
    for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy
    
```

### `format_ply`

    length, minimum bounding sphere, and a noise estimate derived
    from planar region fitting.

## Only reads (1)

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

### `format_batch`

- The description's first verb is "analyze": a word for reading.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Analyze multiple geometry files in a single batch request.

    Submit up to 10 files, receive a single quote, pay once, and get
    structured metadata for all files. Supports mixed formats. Read-only
    analysis — does not modify, convert, or repair files.

    Payment is required via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). If no payment is provided,
    the response includes the total price and per-file breakdown. Retry
    with the payment argument containing "transaction", "network", and
    "priceToken".

    Partial success: if some files fail processing, you still receive
    results for the files that succeeded.
