## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `trails_near`

- 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
Trails within a radius of a latitude and longitude, nearest first, with the distance to the closest point of each trail. For a town or address, pass its coordinates. Optional filters as in search_trails.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_trail`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One trail's facts (length, surface, states, managing organization, official website, year opened), trailheads with parking, restrooms and water, any current closure, the opening of its "About this trail" article, its numbered sources and its page URL. Takes the slug from search_trails or trails_near.
```

### `list_closures`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Current trail closures and detours posted by trail managers and agencies, optionally for one state, with the source notice. Trails not listed have no reported closure.
```

### `search_trails`

- The name "search_trails" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find U.S. rail-trails, canal towpaths and greenways by name, state, surface, kind and length. Returns each trail's page URL and slug (for get_trail). With no query, lists the longest trails that match the filters.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json

  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__trails__search_trails",
      "mcp__trails__get_trail",
      "mcp__trails__list_closures"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__trails__trails_near"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
