Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • asktian_compatibilityCompute fate compatibility between two people via Chinese metaphysics (八字 pairing, 5-element generation/clash).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
    Compute fate compatibility between two people via Chinese metaphysics (八字 pairing, 5-element generation/clash). Returns qualitative label first (e.g. '互补型 Complementary'), then a numeric score (hidden if <60 to avoid making low-compat feel like rejection — this is intentional per the asktian design principles). Useful when user asks about compatibility, fit, or 'will this person and I work'.
  • asktian_name_analysisQuick energetic profile of a name (姓名学 name-analysis).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
    Quick energetic profile of a name (姓名学 name-analysis). Useful when the user asks about someone's name, a baby name, a company name, or 'what kind of person is X' when no birthdate is available. Returns a one-line vibe + dominant element guess.
Only reads 4Claude Code: allow
  • asktian_best_time_for_actionFind the most auspicious time windows in the next N days for a specific action.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find the most auspicious time windows in the next N days for a specific action. Use this when the user asks 'when should I do X', 'should I move this meeting', 'is tomorrow a good day to launch', 'when should I have the hard conversation', etc. Returns top 3 best windows and any windows to avoid. This is the most useful tool for real-time decision support inside any AI assistant — it lets you give specific scheduling advice instead of vague reflections.
  • asktian_daily_readingGet today's personalized Chinese metaphysics (八字 bazi + 干支 daily energy) reading for a person.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get today's personalized Chinese metaphysics (八字 bazi + 干支 daily energy) reading for a person. Returns their archetype (one of 8 trigrams 八卦), today's energy, favorable colors/direction/hours, headline advice, and any caution. Use this when the user asks how today will be for them, what colors to wear, where to face their desk, or for general daily guidance.
  • asktian_market_readGet a Chinese-metaphysics signal on a binary prediction-market question (Polymarket/Kalshi style yes/no outcomes).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "asktian_market_read" says "read": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get a Chinese-metaphysics signal on a binary prediction-market question (Polymarket/Kalshi style yes/no outcomes). Use when a user — or a trading agent — wants an UNCORRELATED, for-fun read on a market: 'will X happen by date Y'. Returns a lean (yes/no/neutral), a confidence, the 五行 reasoning from the resolution date's energy, and a mandatory disclaimer. This is ENTERTAINMENT and a falsifiable ritual — NOT financial advice. Always present it as a novelty signal, never as a recommendation to place a bet.
  • asktian_today_energyGet today's GENERAL energy (no person needed) — the 干支 (stem + branch) and the dominant 5-element character of the day.Reads private dataNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

    What it can reach

    • private-dataThe description's first sentence says "get" and "branch": it reads repositories.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get today's GENERAL energy (no person needed) — the 干支 (stem + branch) and the dominant 5-element character of the day. Useful when the user asks 'what kind of day is it', 'what's the energy today', or when an AI agent wants to add cosmic context to a generic suggestion without needing the user's birthdate.

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.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged untrusted-input or outbound.

Reads private data1
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write0
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json

  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__asktian__asktian_daily_reading",
      "mcp__asktian__asktian_best_time_for_action",

}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as asktian. Review it before you use it.
