How about like this?

Metal roofs are very slippery. If you might want solar or have heavy debris even with leaf guards, it's worth considering leaving an anchor.

Metal roofs are slippery.
I'm concerned that once this new metal roof is on, I won't be able to safely walk on it for maintenance or monitoring or inspecting rubber boots or solar panels, like I can now with a shingle roof.

What methods are there to leave a permanent safety harness hook at the ridge line?

In this case 7:12 pitch, unvented ridge cap, 1" standing seam metal.
