Deletes or cancels 1Claude Code: deny
bank_delete_uploadDelete one statement file stored for your token.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "bank_delete_upload" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
Description, as the server wrote it Delete one statement file stored for your token. The transactions already imported from it are kept; transactions_list and the summary still see them.
Can't be undone 4Claude Code: ask
bank_uploadSend a bank export to this hosted endpoint.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "bank_upload" says "upload": a word for a change.
- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
Description, as the server wrote it Send a bank export to this hosted endpoint. There is no filesystem here, so instead of a path you upload the file once with bank_upload and then pass its name as `path` to statement_import. Give exactly one of content (the export as text, header row included - this is the normal case for a CSV), content_base64 (the file's bytes, which keeps a UTF-16 export from Excel readable) or url. url: fetch a public file instead of pasting base64 (recommended above about 10 KB): the url is fetched here with a 10 second timeout, at most 3 redirects, public http(s) hosts only, and a 1 MB cap; the fetched file has to be delimited text, so a PDF statement is refused rather than stored. Uploads are kept for your token between calls; bank_files lists them and bank_delete_upload removes one. The request body cap is 256 KB, so a large export pasted as text has to be split by month.
reconcile_expensesMatch bank debits against mcp-expense-tracker entries: same currency and amount, date within a few days.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
Description, as the server wrote it Match bank debits against mcp-expense-tracker entries: same currency and amount, date within a few days. Reports matches, unmatched bank lines, expenses never hitting the bank. Read-only. Free: 31 days; Pro: any range.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
statement_exportExport the BANK transactions of a date range (a month, a quarter, a year) as .csv or .json and return a download link valid for one hour.1 finding
Why it is in this group
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
Findings
- Warn
The server marks "statement_export" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "irreversible".
What this check looks forMatched text
annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
Description, as the server wrote it Export the BANK transactions of a date range (a month, a quarter, a year) as .csv or .json and return a download link valid for one hour. This is the tool for "export September" once a statement has been imported. Nothing partial is ever written.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
statement_summaryWhat was spent/received in a date range per the BANK ACCOUNT, grouped by category, month, account or counterparty.1 finding
Why it is in this group
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
Findings
- Warn
The server marks "statement_summary" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "irreversible".
What this check looks forMatched text
annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
Description, as the server wrote it What was spent/received in a date range per the BANK ACCOUNT, grouped by category, month, account or counterparty. For "what did I spend in August" once imported. Totals are per currency, never summed or converted.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
Changes things 5Claude Code: ask
category_rulesRead the category rules, or pass rules to REPLACE the whole list.1 finding
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
Findings
- Warn
The server marks "category_rules" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.
What this check looks forMatched text
annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Read the category rules, or pass rules to REPLACE the whole list. A plain match is a substring; a regex compiles only if it cannot backtrack exponentially. An empty match is refused. Free: 5 rules.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
license_activateTurn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle.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.
Description, as the server wrote it Turn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
recurring_detectFind charges that come back: debits grouped by counterparty and currency with a steady amount and interval, with cadence, typical amount, next due date and annual cost.1 finding
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).

Description, as the server wrote it Find charges that come back: debits grouped by counterparty and currency with a steady amount and interval, with cadence, typical amount, next due date and annual cost. Free: 3 months, 5 charges.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
statement_importCall this tool to read a bank CSV into the local ledger.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "statement_import" says "import": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Call this tool to read a bank CSV into the local ledger. Columns detected from headers (date, description, amount, currency, balance); amounts use the file's locale; stored lines skipped. Returns detected/stored/skipped.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
transaction_categorizeSet or clear the category on transactions by id, for a one-off no rule is worth writing for.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "set": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Set or clear the category on transactions by id, for a one-off no rule is worth writing for. Every id is checked first, so one unknown id refuses the whole call. category_rules matches by text instead.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
Only reads 5Claude Code: allow
accounts_listList the imported accounts: bank, currencies, transaction count, first and last date, and the closing balance when the file carried one.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "accounts_list" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List the imported accounts: bank, currencies, transaction count, first and last date, and the closing balance when the file carried one. Start here for the account names transactions_list and statement_export take.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
bank_filesList the statement files stored for your token, with their sizes.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List the statement files stored for your token, with their sizes.
license_statusReport this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "license_status" says "status": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Report this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
transactions_listList stored transactions in a date range, optionally for one account or category, or only the ones no rule has categorised yet.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "transactions_list" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List stored transactions in a date range, optionally for one account or category, or only the ones no rule has categorised yet. Totals are reported per currency and never added across currencies.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
transactions_searchFind transactions whose description, counterparty, category or account contains the query.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "transactions_search" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Find transactions whose description, counterparty, category or account contains the query. Case-insensitive substring search, never a regex, so a query with brackets in it cannot hang the server.
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.
