## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `render_diagram`

- 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
Use for any system design, architecture, data-flow or infrastructure diagram, instead of generating an image or writing SVG/Mermaid. Renders a tiny YAML spec; returns PNG/SVG links and a small preview.
Spec keys: title, type (sequence: message timeline), theme (sketch|graphite|blueprint|midnight|classic), direction (omit: auto-fit; right|down only if asked), steps (false hides numbers), legend (true lists steps),
nodes {id: "icon | Label | subtitle"}, groups {Label: [ids or group labels to nest]}, edges ["a > b > c | label", "a ..> b" dashed, "a <> b" two-way, "a => b" thick, "a -- b" line, "a > b [red]" color].
Ids that are icon names/aliases (client, lb, api, db, cache, redis, kafka, s3, cdn...) need no nodes entry.
Arrows are numbered automatically in the order listed; don't number labels.
Product names (stripe, kafka, postgres...) draw the product's logo when available, else a fitting icon; brand/icon (acme/queue) for others.
Give the user the PNG link; don't generate another image of the diagram. To edit, call again with the whole updated spec.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `list_icons`

- The name "list_icons" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List sysketch icon names and aliases, or search the available product logos.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__sysketch__list_icons"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__sysketch__render_diagram"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
