## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `repair_rebuild_or_replace` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "repair_rebuild_or_replace" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "repair_rebuild_or_replace" says "replace": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (4)

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

### `decode_vin`

- 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
Decodes a 17-character VIN with NHTSA's free vPIC database: year, make, model, body class, GVWR class, engine and more. On-road vehicles only; off-highway equipment uses serial numbers instead.
```

### `equipment_cost_per_hour`

- 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
Calculates what a machine really costs per hour to own and operate: depreciation, cost of capital, insurance/taxes/storage, fuel, lubricants, repairs and wear parts. Same math as the Torgix calculator at torgix.ai/learn. Purchase price and hours per year are required; anything else left out uses the calculator's defaults, which the answer lists.
```

### `fleet_health_check`

- 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
Reviews a pasted fleet list (one machine per line: make, model, year, hours; a header row and CSV or tab-separated text both work, up to 200 rows) and flags old machines, high hours, possibly underused units, missing information and duplicate unit IDs, with a fleet summary. Plain rules, nothing stored.
```

### `repair_rebuild_or_replace`

- The name "repair_rebuild_or_replace" says "replace": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Decides whether to repair (or rebuild) a machine or replace it, by comparing cost per hour. The repair is priced by the hours it buys before the next major event. Uses the method on torgix.ai/learn/repair-rebuild-or-replace. Give the replacement either as a cost per hour or as a purchase price. For a rebuild, enter the rebuild cost and the much larger hours it buys.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `find_equipment_manual`

- The name "find_equipment_manual" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finds an operator, service or parts manual (or spec sheet) for a make and model in the Discount Equipment library and returns its title and link. Searches that library only; if it has nothing for the machine, the answer says so.
```

### `inspection_checklist`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns a ready-to-use inspection checklist for a type of equipment or inspection: daily pre-use, DOT pre-trip, DOT annual, forklift, aerial and scissor lifts (ANSI A92), telehandler (ANSI/ITSDF B56.6), crane, trench, scaffold, harness, ladder, rigging, fire extinguisher, skid steer, excavator, backhoe, wheel loader, dozer, compactor, compressor, generator and more.
```

### `recall_lookup`

- The name "recall_lookup" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists the safety recalls NHTSA has issued for a vehicle's year, make and model, or for a VIN (decoded first). Shows campaign number, component, summary and remedy. It cannot say whether a recall is still open on one specific vehicle; that is checked by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with the dealer.
```

### `state_compliance_requirements`

- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists registration, IFTA, IRP, DOT inspection, emissions, permit and highway-use-tax requirements for a US state (or DC) plus the federal items, each with its official source link and the date it was checked. Give a GVWR (and axles, and whether it crosses state lines) to also check CDL, USDOT, IFTA, IRP and Form 2290 weight thresholds. From Torgix's rulebook of 355 cited items. Not legal advice.
```
