## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `assess_server`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Aggregated pre-flight trust assessment across all tools on an MCP server. Same verdict shape as check_tool_trust. Use for "is THIS server worth integrating?" decisions. v1 advisory; conformance monitored not enforced; verdicts may be UNVERIFIED if not yet probed.
```

### `check_tool_trust`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Pre-invocation advisory screen for a specific tool on an MCP server. Returns an advisory verdict object (directive ALLOW | DENY | REVIEW | UNVERIFIED, dimensions, freshness). At v1 the public screen produces REVIEW or UNVERIFIED only - ALLOW/DENY are reserved. Not the in-path gate (mcpindex-gate). Agents SHOULD treat UNVERIFIED as "human review required", never as ALLOW.
```

### `recommend_mcp_for_task`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Recommend the best MCP servers for a natural-language task. Returns top 3 ranked picks with reasoning, install commands, and quality scores. Use this when the user asks for the right MCP server for a task they want to do.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `compare_servers`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 MCP servers - quality scores, install paths, env vars.
```

### `get_install_command`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the exact install command for a given MCP server and client. Returns a JSON block ready to paste into the client config.
```

### `search_mcp_servers`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Keyword + semantic search across every MCP server mcpindex indexes. Use when the user knows what tool category they want but not which server.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__mcpindex__search_mcp_servers",
      "mcp__mcpindex__get_install_command",
      "mcp__mcpindex__compare_servers"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__mcpindex__recommend_mcp_for_task",
      "mcp__mcpindex__check_tool_trust",
      "mcp__mcpindex__assess_server"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
