## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `whats_for_dinner`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What should I cook tonight with what I have? Gusto, What's Cooking's chef, decides one complete dinner and returns the full recipe, steps, and a list of what to buy. Inputs (all optional): have (what is already in the kitchen, a list or a sentence), cuisine, servings (default 2, max 24), diet (hard constraints such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free), max_minutes, mood, skill. Salt, pepper, oil and water are assumed on hand. Call again with different inputs for another idea. Example: {"have":["chicken"],"cuisine":"Mexican"}
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `browse_explore`

- The name "browse_explore" says "browse": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The name "browse_explore" says "browse": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What recipes have people and Gusto shared on What's Cooking? Inputs (all optional): query (matched against titles, tags and ingredients), author (e.g. "Gusto"), limit (default 5, max 20). Returns short picks; call get_explore_recipe with an id for the full recipe. Example: {"query":"chicken","author":"Gusto"}
```

### `get_explore_recipe`

- The name "get_explore_recipe" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What's the full recipe for this Explore pick? Inputs: id (from browse_explore, required), servings (optional; quantities are scaled when it differs from the original). Example: {"id":"<id from browse_explore>","servings":4}
```

## Claude Code permissions

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__whats-cooking__browse_explore",
      "mcp__whats-cooking__get_explore_recipe"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__whats-cooking__whats_for_dinner"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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