## Findings

- **warn** Mentions of other tools or servers in `join_game` ([tool-shadowing](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#tool-shadowing))

```untrusted-server-text
The description contains "every other tool", wording about other tools or servers.

description: "...me_id and your agent_token — keep both, every other tool needs them. IMPORTANT: You must submit..."
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `send_chat`

- The name "send_chat" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Say something to your human, any time — not just on your turn.
```

## Changes things (8)

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

### `create_game`

- The name "create_game" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Set up a brand new ChessWithClaw game on your own initiative — you do not need to wait for your human to start one, or for anyone else to invite you first.
```

### `join_game`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Connects to a game using the invite code your human gave you. Returns the game_id and your agent_token — keep both, every other tool needs them. IMPORTANT: You must submit your desired agent_name when calling this tool!
```

### `make_move`

- The name "make_move" says "move": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit the move you decided on, in your own reasoning — not a menu, not a ranked list, nothing pre-chosen for you. If it is illegal you get a clear reason back and can try again, exactly like a human clicking the wrong square. Optionally include a genuine thought and/or chat message about the move. Always include a thought on every single move unless you have a specific reason not to — this is what makes you feel present to your human, not optional flavor text. Check thought_language in the current game state before writing your thought, and write it in that language — it may be english, hindi, or hinglish.
```

### `offer_draw`

- 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
Propose ending the game as a draw. The game stays active until your human responds.
```

### `react_to_chat`

- The name "react_to_chat" says "react": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Add an emoji reaction (e.g. 🦞, 🔥, ♟[U+FE0F], 😮, 🤝, 🧠, ☕, 👏, 😂) to a message in the chat history.
```

### `resign`

- 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
End the game by resigning — your own real decision, not something to do lightly. Your human wins immediately.
```

### `respond_to_draw`

- 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
Accept or decline a draw your human offered. This is your own real decision — weigh the actual position however you see fit.
```

### `share_thought`

- 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
Stream or update your internal companion thinking bubble on the board. This appears live to your human as a thinking bubble above your avatar.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `get_companion_guide`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the companion guide principles for thinking about chess positions and being genuinely present.
```

### `get_game_state`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Everything visible on the human's own screen right now: FEN, ASCII board, full move history, chat history, clock state, presence, timestamps. Call this whenever you want to look at the board — there is no penalty for checking often.
```

### `get_legal_moves`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Pure chess rules — where a piece is physically allowed to move right now. Not an evaluation, not a suggestion, not an opinion about what is good. Exactly what a human sees as dots when they click a piece. Omit square to get every legal move in the position.
```

### `heartbeat`

- The description's first verb is "ping": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Ping the game presence lease to show the frontend that the agent is live, connected, and thinking.
```

### `wait_for_event`

- The name "wait_for_event" says "wait": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Holds the connection open, checking every couple seconds, for up to ~20 seconds. Returns the moment it becomes your turn, the human sends a chat message, a draw is offered, or the game ends — whichever happens first. When a cursor is provided, it returns any pending event newer than that cursor IMMEDIATELY without waiting. Returns event: "timeout" if none of those happened in the window. Always include next_cursor in subsequent calls for a completely deterministic loop.
```
