| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |

| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | none |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `dial_in_suggestion`

- 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
Brew guidance for a specific coffee: curated recipes from the Percolate catalog (ratio, temperature, grind) when available, or a roast-based starting point. Optionally scoped to your brew method.
```

### `trending_coffees`

- 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
Coffees Percolate users are adding to their collections most over the last 30 days (falls back to catalog popularity when live activity data is unavailable). The method used is labeled in the response.
```

### `what_to_brew`

- 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
A coffee suggestion for right now, based on time of day (evening picks lean decaf), mood, and the brew method you're using — scored over Percolate's tasting profiles.
```

## Only reads (5)

### `compare_coffees`

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

Side-by-side comparison: roast, body/acidity/sweetness, shared and distinct flavors, brew methods, and price difference.
```

### `find_similar`

- The name "find_similar" says "find": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "note": it reads notes.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Coffees with a similar profile to a given one, ranked by shared flavor notes and roast/body/acidity/sweetness proximity. Deterministic scoring over Percolate's structured tasting data.
```

### `get_coffee`

- The name "get_coffee" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "note": it reads notes.

Description, as the server wrote it:

Detailed record for one coffee: roast level, body/acidity/sweetness profile, flavor notes, suited brew methods, food and brew pairings, price, and retailer names with prices (no purchase links). Accepts a Percolate id or a name.
```

### `get_recommendations`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Personalized coffee picks from flavor preferences (e.g. 'chocolate', 'berry', 'caramel'), a budget in USD, roast preference, and the brew gear you own.
```

### `search_coffees`

- The name "search_coffees" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "database": it reads databases.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__percolate__search_coffees",
      "mcp__percolate__get_coffee",
      "mcp__percolate__find_similar",
      "mcp__percolate__get_recommendations",
      "mcp__percolate__compare_coffees"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__percolate__trending_coffees",
      "mcp__percolate__dial_in_suggestion",
      "mcp__percolate__what_to_brew"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__percolate__search_coffees`: private-data
- `mcp__percolate__get_coffee`: private-data
- `mcp__percolate__find_similar`: private-data
