Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • check_faviconUse this when someone asks whether a website favicon, Apple touch icon, app icons, manifest, or search-result icon is installed correctly.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • 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
    Use this when someone asks whether a website favicon, Apple touch icon, app icons, manifest, or search-result icon is installed correctly. Reads a public website, verifies declared icon files, reports missing coverage, and can check search-engine favicon indexing. It never changes the website.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Check favicon and app icons
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true
  • generate_iconsetUse this when someone asks to create, replace, or install favicons, website icons, Apple touch icons, PWA icons, or app icons.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "generate_iconset" says "generate": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when someone asks to create, replace, or install favicons, website icons, Apple touch icons, PWA icons, or app icons. Generates favicon.ico, PNG sizes, Apple/Android icons, theme-aware icons, manifests, environment variants, downloadable URLs, and an install snippet from one image, URL, or Iconify name. This creates hosted output files but does not edit the caller's project. Call search_icons first if you need a source.

    Annotations the server declares

  • search_iconsUse this when someone needs an icon, emoji, or brand mark to use as a favicon or app icon.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_icons" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when someone needs an icon, emoji, or brand mark to use as a favicon or app icon. Searches Iconify and returns ready-to-use prefix:name values plus the generate_iconset options.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
