Claude Code: deny. ### `cancel_task` - The name "cancel_task" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Cancel a queued task by task_id. Side effects: changes task state. Xcatcher refunds cost_points when a queued task is successfully cancelled. ``` ### `create_crawl_task` - The name "create_crawl_task" says "create": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Create a crawl task for one or more X (Twitter) usernames. Side effects: creates a new task AND consumes points. If points are insufficient, upstream returns HTTP 402 with PAYMENT-REQUIRED (quote). This tool surfaces it as error.code=PAYMENT_REQUIRED with payment_required payload so agents can request spending approval, top up, then retry safely. Modes: - normal: Fast latest-post snapshot at scale (fresh-feed monitoring). Optimized for high-throughput batch retrieval. - deep: Deeper per-user collection/enrichment (typically slower; higher resource usage). Use when you need more than a quick latest-post snapshot. Performance note: Normal mode is optimized for a small latest-post snapshot per handle. Actual completeness and latency depend on X availability, upstream limits, and network conditions. Batching: For very large sets, split users into batches. Suggested upper bound per task: 500 users (configurable via MAX_USERS_PER_TASK). Reliability: - Use idempotency_key to make retries safe (avoid duplicate charges). - After creation, poll get_task_status every 5–10s until has_result=true. - Then call get_result_download_url (download still requires the same Bearer token). ``` ### `submit_direct_crawl_payment` - The name "submit_direct_crawl_payment" says "submit": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Submit an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE for the exact users/mode used by get_direct_crawl_payment. This may settle USDC and create a crawl task. Call only after explicit spending approval. On success, securely save task_token: it grants task-scoped result access for seven days. ``` ### `x402_topup` - The name "x402_topup" says "topup": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Top up points for the CURRENT Bearer key using x402 proof. Inputs: - quote_id: returned by PAYMENT-REQUIRED (or /api/v1/x402/quote) - payment_signature_b64: base64(JSON) that will be passed as HTTP header PAYMENT-SIGNATURE Side effects: credits points to the same Bearer key (no key rotation). On success returns credited_points and balance_after (shape depends on upstream). ``` ## Changes things (3) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `get_direct_crawl_payment` - The name "get_direct_crawl_payment" says "get": a word for reading. - The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Create a request-bound x402 v2 payment requirement for an accountless crawl. Use this only for the accountless x402 path after preflight_crawl; API-key accounts use create_crawl_task instead. Normal requests use progressive batch pricing, so quote the complete deduplicated handle list together. This does not move funds. Return payment_required_b64 unchanged to an x402-compatible wallet/client; the live amount, asset, network, destination, and quoteId are authoritative. ``` ### `get_x402_quote` - The name "get_x402_quote" says "get": a word for reading. - The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Create a short-lived USDC quote for a requested number of Xcatcher points. Returns the exact live amount and supported Base/Solana payment requirements; it does not move funds. Ask the user before signing or sending any payment. ``` ### `preflight_crawl` - 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 Normalize and deduplicate X handles, validate the mode, and preview the current modeled points/USDC cost. This free read-only check requires no account, creates no quote or task, and moves no funds. Use it before requesting a live x402 payment challenge. ``` ## Only reads (10) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `get_account_balance` - The name "get_account_balance" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return the account attached to the current Bearer API key and its points balance. Use before creating a task to estimate whether an x402 top-up will be needed. Read-only. ``` ### `get_direct_result_preview` - The name "get_direct_result_preview" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return structured JSON rows for a completed accountless paid crawl. Use this instead of get_result_preview for an accountless x402 task; API-key accounts use get_result_preview. Use offset for pagination; the task token is required and should be treated as a secret. ``` ### `get_direct_task_status` - The name "get_direct_task_status" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Read an accountless paid crawl using its task_id and task-scoped token. Use this instead of get_task_status for an accountless x402 task. Poll every 5-10 seconds until task.has_result is true or it reaches failed/cancelled. ``` ### `get_result_download_url` - The name "get_result_download_url" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get an absolute download URL for a task result (read-only). If the task is not finished, returns ok=false with code=RESULT_NOT_READY (HTTP 409). Downloading the URL requires the same Authorization: Bearer token. ``` ### `get_result_preview` - The name "get_result_preview" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return up to 100 result rows from an API-key account task as native structured JSON for direct agent analysis; accountless x402 tasks use get_direct_result_preview instead. Use offset/next_offset for pagination; this does not download or parse XLSX. Use after has_result=true; use get_result_download_url when the complete XLSX is required. Read-only. ``` ### `get_sample_result` - The name "get_sample_result" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return a stable synthetic example of Xcatcher's paginated result and coverage metadata. No live X data is fetched, no account is needed, no task or quote is created, and no funds move. ``` ### `get_service_info` - The name "get_service_info" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Read Xcatcher's live capabilities, prices, limits, endpoints, and recommended agent workflow. Call this first when planning a crawl or when cached documentation may be stale. No points are consumed. ``` ### `get_task_status` - The name "get_task_status" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get API-key account task status by task_id (read-only); accountless x402 tasks use get_direct_task_status instead. Recommended polling interval: every 5–10 seconds until has_result=true. Returns safe structured state, result metadata, and authenticated result URLs; server filesystem paths are never exposed. ``` ### `list_crawl_tasks` - The name "list_crawl_tasks" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List recent tasks owned by the current Bearer API key, newest first. Use next_before_id for cursor pagination. Read-only and does not consume points. ``` ### `wait_for_task` - The name "wait_for_task" says "wait": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Poll a crawl task server-side until it has a result, reaches a terminal failure/cancelled state, or the bounded timeout expires. Read-only and cheaper for agent context than repeated manual polling. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `xcatcher`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__xcatcher__get_service_info", "mcp__xcatcher__get_sample_result", "mcp__xcatcher__get_account_balance", "mcp__xcatcher__list_crawl_tasks", "mcp__xcatcher__get_direct_task_status", "mcp__xcatcher__get_direct_result_preview", "mcp__xcatcher__get_task_status", "mcp__xcatcher__wait_for_task", "mcp__xcatcher__get_result_preview", "mcp__xcatcher__get_result_download_url" ], "ask": [ "mcp__xcatcher__preflight_crawl", "mcp__xcatcher__get_x402_quote", "mcp__xcatcher__get_direct_crawl_payment" ], "deny": [ "mcp__xcatcher__submit_direct_crawl_payment", "mcp__xcatcher__create_crawl_task", "mcp__xcatcher__x402_topup", "mcp__xcatcher__cancel_task" ] } } ```
