 the ACLs the MCP client should have.
 
 ### Permissions
-- **Allow setting states**: Allow MCP clients to write state values (the `set_state` and `set_states` tools).
-  Default: **on**. Which states can be written is decided by the ACLs of the Default User. `set_states` checks the
-  write permission of all states first and writes nothing if one of them is not writable.
+All options that change the system are **off** by default; turn on only what the MCP client really needs.
+
+**States and objects**
+- **Allow setting states**: Allow MCP clients to write state values and to acknowledge system notifications (the
+  `set_state`, `set_states` and `clear_notifications` tools). Default: **on**. Which states can be written is
+  decided by the ACLs of the Default User. `set_states` checks the write permission of all states first and writes
+  nothing if one of them is not writable.
 - **Mark setting states as destructive** (`setStateDestructive`): Declare `set_state` and `set_states` with
   `destructiveHint: true`, so MCP clients can warn before a state is written. Default: **on**. When off, both tools
   are declared as non-destructive writes (`readOnlyHint` stays `false`); whether a client still asks for
   confirmation then depends on the client.
-- **Allow object/file changes**: Allow MCP clients to create/modify/delete objects and files (the `set_object`,
-  `delete_object`, `create_state`, `create_scene`, `write_file`, `delete_file`, `rename_file` and `mkdir`
-  tools). Default: **off**. When off, these tools are not exposed at all.
+- **Allow object/file changes** (`allowObjectChange`): Allow MCP clients to create/modify/delete objects, aliases
+  and files (the `set_object`, `delete_object`, `create_state`, `create_scene`, `create_alias`, `write_file`,
+  `delete_file`, `rename_file` and `mkdir` tools). Default: **off**.
+
+**System**
+- **Allow controlling instances** (`allowInstanceControl`): Start, stop and restart adapter instances and change
+  their log level (`start_instance`, `stop_instance`, `restart_instance`, `set_log_level`). Default: **off**.
+- **Allow managing adapters** (`allowAdapterManagement`): Add and delete instances and upgrade adapters from the
+  repository (`add_instance`, `delete_instance`, `upgrade_adapter`). Default: **off**.
+- **Allow changing scripts** (`allowScriptChange`): Create, change, start/stop and delete scripts of the
+  javascript adapter and run code once (`set_script`, `enable_script`, `delete_script`, `run_script`). Reading
+  scripts (`list_scripts`, `get_script`) is always possible. Scripts run with full access to ioBroker. Default:
+  **off**.
+- **Allow messages to adapters** (`sendToAllowlist`): Adapters (`telegram`) or instances (`backitup.0`) the
+  `send_to` tool may send messages to, separated by commas; `*` allows all. Default: empty, then there is no
+  `send_to` tool.
+
+**Safety**
+- **Ask for confirmation before dangerous actions** (`confirmDangerous`): MCP clients that support
+  [elicitation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/client/elicitation) ask the user before an
+  object or instance is deleted, an instance stopped, an adapter upgraded or installed, a script saved or run, or a
+  message sent. Clients without elicitation rely on the `destructiveHint` of the tools and their own confirmation.
+  Default: **on**.
+
+**Developers**
 - **Allow installing packages (developers only)** (`allowPackageInstall`): Offer the `install_package` tool, which
   installs an adapter package on an ioBroker host - from npm, GitHub, a URL or a `.tgz` file - exactly like
   *Install from custom URL / file* in ioBroker.admin (`iobroker url ...`). Default: **off**. This option is only
