## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_portfolio`

- 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
Check a list of up to 25 vendors (names, domains or both) and get one profile each. Spends one lookup per vendor answered; a name that matches nothing costs nothing.
```

## Only reads (3)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `find_vendor`

- The name "find_vendor" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find a vendor in the VendorWatch catalogue by its exact name or website domain. Returns up to 5 candidates (slug, name, category). Free: no lookup is spent.
```

### `get_vendor_profile`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get one vendor's documentation profile: DPA coverage by law, number of subprocessors, certifications, data locations, transfer safeguards and AI use. Give the slug from find_vendor, or the vendor's name or domain. Spends one lookup.
```

### `list_vendor_changes_since`

- The name "list_vendor_changes_since" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the vendors in your VendorWatch portfolio whose record changed on or after a date (profile updated, DPA analysed, DPA document changed). Free: no lookup is spent. 50 vendors a page; read the new profile with get_vendor_profile.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `vendorwatch`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__vendorwatch__find_vendor",
      "mcp__vendorwatch__get_vendor_profile",
      "mcp__vendorwatch__list_vendor_changes_since"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__vendorwatch__check_portfolio"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
