## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `generate_palette` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "generate_palette" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "generate_palette" says "generate": a word for a change.
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `convert_color` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "convert_color" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "convert_color" says "convert": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `convert_color`

- The name "convert_color" says "convert": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Converts any CSS color to oklch(), hex and rgb, formatted like Tailwind (oklch() is what Tailwind v4 uses). Colors outside a format are mapped into it: oklch() to Display P3 like Tailwind's palette, hex and rgb to sRGB. Use it for one value; to add a color with all its shades, call generate_palette instead.
```

### `generate_palette`

- The name "generate_palette" says "generate": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Generates a full Tailwind CSS palette (50-950) from one color, ready to paste. Call it whenever you add a color to a Tailwind theme (e.g. "add a brand color #db4d53"), instead of writing a single variable or inventing shades. The input color stays exactly at its best-fit shade, and the other shades follow the closest Tailwind color, so they look like Tailwind's own.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `find_closest_tailwind_color`

- The name "find_closest_tailwind_color" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finds the shade in Tailwind's default palette that looks most like a given color, e.g. #db4d53 -> red-500. Use it to pick an existing Tailwind class (bg-red-500) instead of an arbitrary value. If the difference is visible, use generate_palette to add the exact color as a custom palette instead.
```

### `get_tailwind_palette`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Looks up Tailwind's own default colors, exactly as Tailwind defines them: a whole color (e.g. "blue", all shades) or one shade (e.g. "slate-500"), for Tailwind v4, v3, v2 or v1. Use it instead of writing default Tailwind color values from memory. Values are oklch() in v4 and hex in older versions.
```

### `list_tailwind_colors`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists the names of Tailwind's default colors for a Tailwind version (e.g. red, slate, mauve in v4), with the shades each one has and its 500 value as a sample. Use it to see which colors exist before calling get_tailwind_palette or picking a utility class.
```
