## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `pdf_batch`

- The description's first verb is "apply": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Apply the same edits to one template PDF once per record, producing one output document per record — a mail merge over an existing PDF. Returns a `job_id`: call `pdf_job` with it for the per-record results. To change text on one page only, set `scope.pages`; to pick one of several identical matches, use `scope.after` with nearby text or `scope.occurrence`. Use `op: 'redact'` when the text must be unrecoverable.
```

### `pdf_edit`

- The name "pdf_edit" says "edit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Edit the text of an existing PDF in place: replace, delete, redact, insert, or fill form fields, keeping the original layout, fonts and everything you did not point at. `edits[]` is taken exactly as the API takes it (`op`, `scope`, `match`, `fit`), and the result carries up to 3 before/after previews of the pages that changed. To change text on one page only, set `scope.pages`; to pick one of several identical matches, use `scope.after` with nearby text or `scope.occurrence`. Use `op: 'redact'` when the text must be unrecoverable.
```

### `pdf_job`

- 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 result of an async edit or a batch, by `job_id`: the same body `pdf_edit` returns once the job is done, plus `progress` while it is still queued or running, and `records` for a batch.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `pdf_find`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read the text of a PDF: every span with its page, position, font and span id, optionally filtered by `query` (the same four `match` modes an edit uses) and `pages`, over the `content`, `forms` and `annotations` layers. Paginated: pass the returned `next_cursor` back as `cursor` for the next page. Use it before `pdf_edit` to check what a document actually says and to pick the `scope` that selects the match you mean.
```

### `pdf_preview`

- The name "pdf_preview" says "preview": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Render one page of a PDF as a PNG image block, optionally cropped to `region` and with rectangles drawn over `highlight`. Use it to see a page before editing it, or to check the result afterwards.
```

## Claude Code permissions
