## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_citations`

- 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
Verify a pasted reference list (plain text, BibTeX or RIS) against Crossref, OpenAlex, DataCite, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed and DBLP, plus Retraction Watch. Flags references that cannot be found (possibly fabricated), retracted papers and DOI mismatches. One check per day without an account; sign in for more.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `compare_journals`

- The name "compare_journals" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Side-by-side comparison of 2-4 journals by ISSN: quartile and indexing for any caller, trust score and APC for an identified one.
```

### `get_journal`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full profile of one journal by ISSN: indexing, quartile, open-access status, scope and integrity signals (e.g. DOAJ withdrawal) for any caller. Trust score with breakdown, impact factor, APC and measured publication time require an identified caller. Use when the user asks about one journal.
```

### `search_journals`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search 46,000+ academic journals by title, ISSN, or publisher. Returns indexing status (WoS/Scopus/DOAJ), SJR quartile and open-access info for any caller; trust score and APC require an identified caller. Supports filters.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__pubscope__search_journals",
      "mcp__pubscope__get_journal",
      "mcp__pubscope__compare_journals"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__pubscope__check_citations"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
