      Matched text

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "get_icon" says "get": a word for reading.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Retrieve one exact SVG icon using an exact ref returned by search_icons, recommend_icons, or preview_icons. Do not guess icon IDs. Use search_icons first if the user only described a concept. Returns SVG code, explicit public library labels, visual preview URL, and public semantic guidance for the exact icon.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: false
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: false
    • openWorldHint: false
  • recommend_iconsRecommend a coherent icon set for up to 20 named UI slots in one call.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Recommend a coherent icon set for up to 20 named UI slots in one call. Uses task context to narrow ambiguous meanings. When context is insufficient, returns needs_clarification with labeled interpretation options instead of guessing. Invalid inputs and service failures return a plain-language reason and a next step instead of a bare protocol error. Returns one recommendation and optional alternatives for each resolved slot, with explicit public library labels and visual preview URLs where available. Library key si means Supericons, not Simple Icons.

      Matched text

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "search_icons" says "search": a word for reading.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this as the main icon tool. Search 20,000+ curated SVG icons across 11 libraries by meaning, label, visual description, tags, and synonyms. When matches exist, the response includes a paste-ready suggested answer, a direct preview image, and Markdown that can show the image in the final reply. When no supported match exists, it returns an honest structured no-result with a next step and no fabricated icon. If you choose a library yourself, use prefer. Use strict only when the user explicitly requires that library. Library key si means Supericons, not Simple Icons.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_libraries" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the free icon libraries available through the hosted Supericons MCP server. Use this before filtering by library or when a user asks which icon libraries are supported.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "preview_icons" says "preview": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Refine an icon result set or preview known icon refs returned by another Supericons tool. Use search_icons first for normal icon requests. Long icon lists are accepted and safely truncated to 12. Returns ready-to-use Markdown, a hosted preview fallback, a direct PNG image URL, and, when requested, an MCP image contact sheet.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
