## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `decode_barcode`

- 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
Detect and decode all barcodes in an image. Input: base64-encoded image bytes (PNG/JPEG/WebP/anything sharp reads). Output: JSON array of {format, text}. Supports QR, Aztec, DataMatrix, Code128/39/93, EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, ITF, PDF417, Codabar. Use formats filter to restrict results.
```

### `render_barcode`

- 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
Render text as a barcode PNG. format: one of qr, aztec, datamatrix, code128, code39, code93, ean13, ean8, upca, itf, pdf417. Output: base64 PNG plus 'decoded' self-check flag (we decode our own render; upca intentionally verifies as zero-padded EAN-13). GTIN codes must have a valid mod-10 checksum.
```

### `validate_gtin`

- The name "validate_gtin" says "validate": a word for reading.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check a product code against GTIN rules: length + mod-10 checksum. Returns {valid, type: ean13|ean8|upcA|null, normalized}. Rejects codes with a broken checksum (e.g. 8595234703191).
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `list_formats`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Static table of supported barcode formats with render/decode support and notes.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__barcode__list_formats"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__barcode__decode_barcode",
      "mcp__barcode__render_barcode",
      "mcp__barcode__validate_gtin"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
