## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `render_spintax`

- 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
Renders up to 20 variants. With a seed the output is deterministic (variant i uses seed "<seed>#<i>"); without one it is random. The engine is lenient: structural mistakes never throw, they surface in the output — run validate_spintax first.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `analyze_spintax`

- The name "analyze_spintax" says "analyze": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reports what the template needs and contains: refs (variables referenced), sets (#set macros, re-picked per reference), defs (#def, rolled once per render), includes, diagnostics, and best-effort construct counts. Answers "what variables must I supply" — it is NOT a variant-cardinality counter.
```

### `spintax_authoring_guide`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read this BEFORE writing or editing a spintax template — it is the canonical authoring guide the whole spintax toolchain is written against, not a tutorial. Pass the locale you will author in: for ru/uk/be and sr/hr/bs it carries the agreement and case rules that decide whether the variants read as human writing, which is the hard part and the part a valid template can still get wrong; for ar, the six plural forms and their order. Returns text to read, not a template.
```

### `validate_spintax`

- The name "validate_spintax" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Static validation: returns diagnostics with severity, stable code, message and 1-based line/column. No "error"-severity diagnostic means the template is structurally sound — read the warnings before rendering, because some of them (plural.locale-missing) mean a block will not resolve. Pass knownVariables for names you will supply at render time to silence their variable.undefined warnings.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__spintax__validate_spintax",
      "mcp__spintax__analyze_spintax",
      "mcp__spintax__spintax_authoring_guide"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__spintax__render_spintax"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
