## Changes things (22)

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

### `authenticate`

- 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
MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.
```

### `marketplace`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.
```

### `report_bug`

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

### `whatsapp_config_set`

- The name "whatsapp_config_set" says "set": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Change an editable-after-connect setting on a connected number WITHOUT re-pairing. Today the only field is `proxy_url` — the SOCKS5/HTTPS proxy WhatsApp connects through (recommended to avoid IP bans). Owner/admin or the connection owner.
- `account`: which number (id/wa_jid, phone, or label; omit if only one is connected).
- `values`: e.g. { "proxy_url": "socks5://user:pass@host:port" }. An empty string CLEARS the field (e.g. { "proxy_url": "" } connects with no proxy); omit the key to keep the current value.
The new value applies on the next (re)connection; the live session cache is invalidated so the next tool call uses it.

### `whatsapp_history_backfill`

- The description's first verb is "request": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Request OLDER messages for a chat from your phone (on-demand history sync), extending what whatsapp_messages can read. Returns { status, messages_added }:
- "done"/"partial": it pulled messages_added new messages — read them via whatsapp_messages (paginate with `before`). "partial" means WhatsApp stopped early; wait and retry for more.
- "cooldown": you requested this chat <60s ago (retry_after_s tells you when). WhatsApp THROTTLES back-to-back requests — DO NOT retry in a loop; wait, then try once.
- "timeout": the phone didn't deliver in time (offline or throttled) — already-synced history is still readable; retry later.
BEST-EFFORT (gated by WhatsApp): one call usually pulls a batch (~50–70 msgs); pulling much deeper repeatedly often won't work. Connects live, may take up to ~1 minute. The initial sync already loaded deep history for most chats — check whatsapp_history_coverage first; only backfill when a chat's oldest_ts isn't far enough back.
```

Description, as the server wrote it:

Bulk support: accepts message_ids for batched execution.
```

### `whatsapp_sync`

- The name "whatsapp_sync" says "sync": 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
Refresh this account's local data from WhatsApp — pulls recent messages and refreshes the groups/contacts lists into the local store. Call it BEFORE reading (chats/groups/messages/contacts/search) when results look stale or empty (e.g. right after connecting, or an account that hasn't synced recently). Connects live, so it may take ~20–60s. Returns { messages_stored }.
```

### `whatsapp_webhook_set`

- The name "whatsapp_webhook_set" says "set": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

See available_events from whatsapp_webhook_get. `include_result` (default true) controls whether the tool result is included in tool.call payloads. `secret` is optional (reserved).
- Subscribing to any whatsapp.* event makes the daemon hold a live connection per number and forward inbound messages to your URL.
- To remove the webhook: pass `remove: true` (or an empty url).
```

List messages in a chat from LOCAL history. Requires chat_jid (from whatsapp_chats). Paginate backwards by passing the oldest message's timestamp as `before` (ISO 8601); `after` pages forward; `order` sorts. NOTE: only messages already synced locally are returned — to see how far back the archive goes use whatsapp_history_coverage, and to pull OLDER messages from your phone use whatsapp_history_backfill.
```

### `whatsapp_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-text search across all stored messages (SQLite FTS5). Optional chat_jid to scope. Returns matches with context.
```

### `whatsapp_webhook_get`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show this WhatsApp install's outbound webhook: the current URL, the subscribed events (empty = all), include_result, and the catalog of subscribable events (available_events — e.g. whatsapp.message, whatsapp.reaction, and the whatsapp.* wildcard). Owner/admin only.
```
