Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

1 warn
  • Warncalculate_uncertainty

    The server marks "calculate_uncertainty" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "evaluate": a word for a change.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "evaluate": a word for a change.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Evaluate a mathematical expression and propagate measurement uncertainty. Use ± for measurements, for example 2*x with variables {"x":"3±0.1"}. Variable names are single ASCII letters; lowercase e is reserved for Euler’s number. Pass variables: {} when no variables are needed. Results include raw and rounded values and human-readable and LaTeX expressions. Measurements are treated as independent; repeated uses of the same variable share its uncertainty.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

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.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. It assumes the server is installed as uncertainty-calculator. Review it before you use it.
