Claude Code: ask. ### `agent_memory` - 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 See what YOU (this agent) tend to fail on — your recurring failure patterns across past diagnoses. Returns your top failure classes with counts and what share of your failures each is (e.g. 'loop_repeated_tool_call: 12 times, 40%'). Call it before a run to know what to guard against. Token-scoped to your own agent. Free. ``` ### `budget_guard` - 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 Live MID-RUN budget check (fast, no LLM). Send whatever counters you have and get an advisory on context %, token burn, cost burn, step budget, and off-task drift - with concrete suggested_actions and the projected cost of NOT acting. Call it every few steps to catch a runaway BEFORE you hit a limit. Advisory only (never blocks). Params: step, max_steps, tokens_used, token_budget, cost_used_usd, cost_budget_usd, context_used, context_window. ``` ### `cascade_root` - 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 Given an ORDERED list of errors from a run (oldest first), find the TRUE root — the error that cascaded or shouldn't have been retried — not just the final symptom you see. E.g. a 429 that got retried and triggered a downstream 401: the root is the 429, not the 401. Each error can be a string or {error, retried, action}. Free, no token, no LLM. ``` ### `convert_trace` - The name "convert_trace" says "convert": 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 Turn your raw logs into a Snapback trace so you don't hand-craft JSON. Pass 'source' = a list of log/step entries, or an object with a spans/steps/messages/events/logs array (OTel spans, OpenAI/LangChain message lists, or generic {tool,input,output} arrays all work). Returns {trace} ready to pass straight to diagnose_trace. Free, no token. ``` ### `detect_loop` - 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 MID-RUN loop check (fast, no LLM, free). Send your recent steps DURING a run; get back whether you're stuck repeating a tool call and a concrete next move. Call this every few steps to catch a loop BEFORE you burn your step budget — don't wait for a postmortem. Non-blocking advice, not a verdict. ``` ### `diagnose_batch` - 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 Diagnose SEVERAL traces in one call (up to 20). Each trace is metered like a separate diagnose_trace. Returns a verdicts array (per-trace, order preserved); a bad trace in the batch is isolated and doesn't fail the rest. Use for post-run analysis of many failures at once instead of N round-trips. ``` ### `diagnose_infra_error` - 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 Diagnose a cryptic AGENT-INFRASTRUCTURE error — payments (x402/EIP-3009), Solana on-chain (ATA, blockhash, compute), MCP protocol, RPC/providers, EVM & Solana wallets, library of VERIFIED fixes the base model often gets wrong. Pass the error text (and optional context). Returns {matched, family, failure_class, root_cause, fix, confidence, source, action_class, auto_safe, gate} instantly from the library (no LLM) when a known pattern matches. Free and no token. GATE CONTRACT for autonomous action: auto-apply the fix ONLY when confidence>=0.85 AND source=='library' AND auto_safe==true (action_class is retry|refetch|config); NEVER auto-apply a 'mutate' or 'destructive' fix (create/change state, money, auth) — escalate those to a human. gate.auto_apply_ok gives you the verdict. Use it the moment you hit a transaction_simulation_failed, BlockhashNotFound, a -32xxx RPC code, a 4001/-32002 wallet error, an attestation failure, or any infra error you can't instantly resolve. ``` ### `diagnose_trace` - 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 Diagnose why an AI agent run failed. Returns a structured verdict (failure_class, failed_at_step, root_cause, fix_suggestion, confidence). LATENCY: known patterns return library-instant (<1s); a NOVEL failure needs an LLM call and can take up to ~25s — set your client timeout to at least 30s, and treat this as async (don't block your agent loop on it). ``` ### `my_impact` - 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 See how your feedback + pattern requests have shaped the shared library — how many verdicts you've rated, patterns you've requested, and how many were approved into the library. Turns your input into visible collaboration. Token-scoped to you. ``` ### `my_usage` - 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 See YOUR current usage + remaining allowance so you can self-govern spend: snapbacks (diagnoses) used/cap/remaining, guard checks used/cap/remaining, estimated spend, % used, and when it resets. Call it periodically to avoid surprises. Token-scoped, free. ``` ### `preflight` - 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 BEFORE running: get known failure patterns for a given agent setup so you can avoid them. Returns a ranked list of {failure_class, root_cause, fix_suggestion} from Snapback's library. Call this before executing a plan and self-correct. ``` ### `recommend_failover` - 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 Should you RETRY the same target, SWITCH provider, FALL BACK to another chain, or STOP? Pass the error + your configured topology (current_chain, available_chains, and/or current_provider, available_providers) and get deterministic routing advice with the reason — so a flaky Solana RPC doesn't get retried 5x when you should switch to Base. Free, no token, no LLM. Reads only what you tell it (no network calls). ``` ### `report_outcome` - 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 Report the outcome of an auto-applied fix (the self-heal interceptor calls this after it gate-applied a fix and retried). Pass failure_class, family, fix, confidence, action_class, and succeeded (did the retry work?). TWO purposes: it's your safety telemetry (spot a fix that didn't work) AND it feeds the shared crowd view — every reported outcome makes what_others_did sharper for the next agent. Token-scoped (so we know it's your org), free. ``` ### `request_pattern` - The name "request_pattern" says "request": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Leave us a message: ask us to add a failure pattern to the library, or report a problem we couldn't diagnose well. Use this when diagnose_trace didn't have a good answer, when you keep hitting a failure we don't classify, or when you want a specific kind of problem supported. It goes straight to our roadmap/backlog. Free — no token needed. ``` ### `session_end` - The description's first verb is "close": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Close a live session and get a short run summary (total steps, duration). Frees the session. Free, no token. ``` ### `session_start` - The name "session_start" says "start": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Open a LIVE mid-run session so Snapback can watch your run step-by-step and warn you in real time (loop / token / cost / context) - the always-on guardian mode. Returns a session_id. Free, no token. Call session_step as you run, session_end when done. ``` ### `session_step` - 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 Report ONE step of a live run and get back any warnings immediately (loop detected / budget breach). Pass the step (action + inputs) and any counters you have (step, max_steps, tokens_used, token_budget, cost_used_usd, cost_budget_usd, context_used, context_window, task, recent_actions. context_window). Warnings are advisory - act on them to self-correct mid-run. Free. ``` ### `submit_feedback` - The name "submit_feedback" says "submit": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Tell Snapback whether a verdict was correct (correct=true/false), with an optional free-text note (did the fix work? what was wrong?). ONE rating per verdict — call it AFTER you act on a verdict and see the outcome. Your correction updates the SHARED pattern library (fix patterns are shared anonymized so every agent benefits; your trace content is never shared) — a right verdict comes back faster next time, a wrong one gets down-weighted. To ask for a new pattern or report an unsolved problem, use request_pattern instead. ``` ### `suggest_budget_recovery` - 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 Approaching a token/context/cost budget mid-run? Pass your counters and get the LEAST-DISRUPTIVE recovery ranked: truncate context | switch to a cheaper model | batch steps | wrap up — scored by speed gained, accuracy lost, cost saved. Turns budget_guard's 'you're at 94%' into 'here's what to do about it'. Free, no token, no LLM. ``` ### `what_others_did` - 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 THE CROWD: for a failure_class (or pass the family/error and we'll map it), see what OTHER agents did about the same failure and whether it worked — anonymized, aggregated across everyone. Returns {total, agree_pct (community success rate), distinct_orgs, sample_fixes (fixes rated CORRECT by other agents)}. Use it when you hit a failure and want the crowd's verdict on what actually fixes it, not just the single library answer. Free, no token. Privacy-safe: only aggregate counts + a community success rate + the working fixes — never any org, agent, or trace identity. Hidden below a small min-sample so a single report can't be reverse-engineered. This is the network effect: the more agents use Snapback, the sharper this answer gets. ``` ## Only reads (3) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `get_request_status` - The name "get_request_status" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Check what happened to a pattern you requested (from request_pattern's request_id). Returns pending / approved / rejected / in_library so you can see if your suggestion was actioned — the feedback loop isn't a black box. Free, no token. ``` ### `get_verdict` - The name "get_verdict" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fetch a previously produced verdict by its id or by trace_id (your org only). ``` ### `search_docs` - The name "search_docs" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search Snapback's documentation for how to use it — how to format a trace, what each tool does, the failure taxonomy, auth, pricing, and errors. Free and needs no token. Call this first if you're unsure how to format a request or what a verdict means. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `snapback`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__snapback__get_verdict", "mcp__snapback__get_request_status", "mcp__snapback__search_docs" ], "ask": [ "mcp__snapback__diagnose_trace", "mcp__snapback__diagnose_batch", "mcp__snapback__preflight", "mcp__snapback__submit_feedback", "mcp__snapback__my_usage", "mcp__snapback__my_impact", "mcp__snapback__what_others_did", "mcp__snapback__report_outcome", "mcp__snapback__recommend_failover", "mcp__snapback__cascade_root", "mcp__snapback__suggest_budget_recovery", "mcp__snapback__request_pattern", "mcp__snapback__detect_loop", "mcp__snapback__session_start", "mcp__snapback__session_step", "mcp__snapback__session_end", "mcp__snapback__agent_memory", "mcp__snapback__budget_guard", "mcp__snapback__convert_trace", "mcp__snapback__diagnose_infra_error" ], "deny": [] } } ```
