## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `estimate_premium_tax_credit`

- 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
Estimates a household's 2027 ACA premium tax credit the way the site's subsidy calculator does: poverty-line percentage, IRS applicable percentage (Rev. Proc. 2026-26), expected monthly contribution, the age-rated benchmark silver premium for the county, the monthly credit, net cost of the lowest bronze, silver and gold plans, the 400% cliff, and a per-person income screen for Medicaid, CHIP or a Basic Health Program. An estimate, not an eligibility decision.
```

### `estimate_tax_credit_repayment`

- 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
Form 8962 in miniature for tax year 2026 (returns filed in 2027), for a full year with the same household and plan: the premium tax credit allowed on final income versus the advance payments on Form 1095-A, and the excess to repay (no repayment cap from 2026) or the extra credit to claim.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `compare_cobra_vs_marketplace`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compares the total cost of staying on COBRA with switching to a marketplace plan for the months you need coverage: premiums plus expected out-of-pocket costs, including the deductible reset when switching mid-year. Give the marketplace premium, or state, county, ages and income to estimate it as the benchmark silver plan after the 2027 credit.
```

### `get_county_plan_prices`

- The name "get_county_plan_prices" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "file": it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Monthly premiums before any credit from CMS's plan file for a county in a HealthCare.gov state: the benchmark (second-lowest-cost silver) and the lowest bronze, silver and gold plan for a 40-year-old non-smoker, number of insurers and plans, and the same prices age-rated for the ages you give. Omit county for the state's range (median, lowest and highest benchmark).
```

### `get_medicaid_chip_limits`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A state's Medicaid, CHIP and Basic Health Program income limits as a percent of the poverty line and in 2026 dollars per month and per year for a household size, by group (adults, parents, pregnancy, children by age, CHIP). With an income, also says which limits it is under. A screen of published limits, not an eligibility decision.
```

### `get_state_marketplace_facts`

- The name "get_state_marketplace_facts" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
For one state: where to enroll (HealthCare.gov or the state exchange, with its URL), 2027 open enrollment start and end dates and the last day for January 1 coverage, Medicaid expansion status, any state coverage mandate and penalty, state premium help programs, the 2027 average rate change where the regulator published one, and short-term plan rules.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `healthinsurance-help`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__healthinsurance-help__get_county_plan_prices",
      "mcp__healthinsurance-help__get_medicaid_chip_limits",
      "mcp__healthinsurance-help__compare_cobra_vs_marketplace",
      "mcp__healthinsurance-help__get_state_marketplace_facts"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__healthinsurance-help__estimate_premium_tax_credit",
      "mcp__healthinsurance-help__estimate_tax_credit_repayment"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__healthinsurance-help__get_county_plan_prices`: private-data
- `mcp__healthinsurance-help__get_state_marketplace_facts`: untrusted-input

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
