## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `verify_http_claim` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

description: "...supports only public HTTPS URLs without credentials, query strings, fragments, IP literals,..."
```

- **info** The word "credentials" in `verify_http_claim` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.url.description mentions "credentials".

inputSchema.properties.url.description: "Public HTTPS URL to observe. V0 forbids credentials, query strings, fragments, IP literals,..."
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `verify_http_claim`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention, info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this to verify a current public HTTPS claim by direct observation rather than web search, documentation, browser inference, or shell/curl. Use for explicit assertions that a GET/HEAD currently returns an expected HTTP status, exact header value, JSON value at a JSON Pointer, or body substring. It evaluates assertions, persists bounded evidence, reuses sufficiently fresh matching evidence, and summarizes recent observations. follow_redirects defaults to false; when true, Probe manually follows at most 3 validated HTTPS redirects. Every fetch uses redirect: manual. V0 supports only public HTTPS URLs without credentials, query strings, fragments, IP literals, or non-443 ports. Redirect validation is hostname/policy based; the Worker cannot guarantee protection against DNS rebinding between validation and platform DNS resolution.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `probe.history`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve up to 20 persisted observations for an existing Probe experiment ID without making a new HTTP request. Use after verify_http_claim to inspect repeated results, PASS/FAIL/ERROR counts, agreement, or whether the observed verdict changed between the two latest decisive observations. This is historical evidence lookup, not a current live verification; use verify_http_claim when freshness or present endpoint behavior matters.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__probe__probe_history"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__probe__verify_http_claim"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
