## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `generate_barcode` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "generate_barcode" says "generate": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `generate_barcode`

- The name "generate_barcode" says "generate": 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
Encode a value into any of 35 barcode and QR symbologies and return the rendered image. Supports QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128/39/93, ITF-14 and more. Returns SVG markup by default (or a data: URI when asked), plus a link to the online generator pre-filled with the same value. Use "type" with the canonical name from list_barcode_types; common spellings like "qr" or "code-128" are accepted. Linear formats such as EAN-13 enforce strict charset and length rules and will fail on invalid input.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_barcode_type`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the full technical reference for one symbology: character set, data length, check digit rules, X-dimension and quiet-zone guidance, print ratio, magnification, governing standard, inventor and year, typical applications, FAQ, and related formats. Use this to pick a format for a requirement, or to find out why generate_barcode rejected a value.
```

### `list_barcode_types`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List every symbology this server can generate (35 formats), grouped by family, with a one-line summary and sample data for each. Call this first when you are unsure which "type" to pass to generate_barcode. Optionally narrow by family (e.g. "EAN / UPC", "2D Barcodes") or category ("linear", "stacked", "2d").
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `barcode-generator`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__barcode-generator__list_barcode_types",
      "mcp__barcode-generator__get_barcode_type"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__barcode-generator__generate_barcode"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
