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

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `movers`

- 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
Apps that climbed, dropped, joined, or left the board. week is "latest" (the newest frozen week vs the week before), a Monday date like "2026-10-19", or "live" (today vs the previous day).
```

### `top_apps`

- 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 top n consumer AI apps on Ascension. scope "live" is today's blended board (updates daily around 6 AM ET); "week" is the latest frozen week (freezes Thursdays). Returns rank, app, platform, change, date, and each app's ascension.fyi page.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `app_rank`

- The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "find" and "chat": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "find" and "chat": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find an app by name (fuzzy: "gemini", "claude", "chat gpt" all work) and return its rank on the live board and in the latest frozen week, with its ascension.fyi page.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__leaderboard__app_rank"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__leaderboard__top_apps",
      "mcp__leaderboard__movers"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__leaderboard__app_rank`: private-data, untrusted-input
