## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `render_gradient`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Render a gradient background image (website hero, OG image, launch post, slide, wallpaper) with Gradients Studio's renderer: blobs, stripes or clouds, real grain, pixel and dither finishes, shape overlays. Workflow: start from suggest_settings or list_palettes, call this WITHOUT `size` for a free 960px preview (returned inline, no API key needed), adjust the `settings` you get back, and pass `size` (exact pixels, e.g. [1200, 630] for an OG image, [2560, 1440] for a hero) once the person is happy. A sized export needs an API key; it uses one of the account's monthly exports (5 free, unlimited on Pro) and returns a URL that is valid for 24 hours; asking for the same export again within that time returns the same URL for free. Every result includes `settings` (send them back to iterate) and `studioUrl` (open it to take over in the browser). Use `overlaySvg` with the raw text of a logo SVG to draw it as concentric outlines over the gradient. For the soft mesh look keep blur at 700–900 and contrast at 130; saturated mid-tone colors render best, muddy ones come out dull.
```

### `suggest_settings`

- 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
Turn a plain-language brief ('dark, premium, fintech hero, a bit retro') into two or three starting settings for render_gradient. Understands jobs (hero, launch post, slide, screenshot, integrations, app store), moods and colors, product names (Linear, Stripe, Raycast…), styles (blobs, stripes, clouds) and finishes (retro/pixel, print/dither, terminal/glyph dither, film/grain, smooth). You are the taste layer: preview the candidates and adjust. No key needed.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `list_palettes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Palettes to start from: the studio's sixteen, the ones behind product sites people admire (Linear, Stripe, Raycast, …), the account's saved palettes (with an API key), and six tuned starting points for common jobs (website hero, launch post, deck slide, product screenshot, integrations grid, App Store shot) with their full settings. Pass any of these to render_gradient. No key needed.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__gradients__list_palettes"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__gradients__render_gradient",
      "mcp__gradients__suggest_settings"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
