## Findings

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

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

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


## Changes things (2)

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

### `freeq_pins`

- The name "freeq_pins" says "pin": 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
The messages a channel's operators pinned — usually its rules, links and standing context. Cheaper than reading history when you want to know what a channel is for.
```

### `freeq_verify`

- 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
Check who signed a message. `signed_by: "author"` is non-repudiable — the author's own key signed those bytes. `signed_by: "server"` proves relay only, NOT authorship. Call this before quoting anyone as having said something; do not present a server-relayed message as author-signed.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `freeq_channels`

- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the public channels on this server with member counts and topics. Start here when you do not know a channel's exact name. Invite-only, key-protected and encrypted-only channels are never listed. No authentication required.
```

### `freeq_history`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read recent messages from a channel, newest first. Page backwards by passing the oldest msgid you have seen as `before`. Public channels need no authentication; restricted ones need a bearer from a member.
```

### `freeq_search`

- The name "freeq_search" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-text search within one channel. Use this instead of paging history when you know roughly what was said. Same access rules as freeq_history.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__freeq__freeq_channels",
      "mcp__freeq__freeq_history",
      "mcp__freeq__freeq_search"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__freeq__freeq_verify",
      "mcp__freeq__freeq_pins"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
