## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "search_entities" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "search_entities" says "search": a word for reading.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `purchase_credits`

- The name "purchase_credits" says "purchase": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Starts a credit purchase: creates a Stripe checkout session for the chosen package and returns a payment URL to present to the user. Does NOT charge immediately and does NOT add credits until the user completes payment — credits are then added automatically. Requires authentication. Packages: credits_100, credits_500, credits_2000, credits_10000 (see get_config for current prices).
```

## Changes things (2)

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

### `search_entities`

- The name "search_entities" says "search": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Discover candidate businesses when the exact entity is UNKNOWN — a listing/discovery tool, NOT a verification tool. Use only when the user wants to browse or list multiple companies matching a partial or fuzzy name, or does not yet know which specific entity they mean. If the user can name one specific company they want to confirm or check, use verify_business instead (ask them for the name first if needed). Costs 2 credits per jurisdiction searched and requires authentication.
```

### `verify_business`

- 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
Confirm a specific, named business in one jurisdiction — the PRIMARY tool whenever the user wants to verify, check, confirm, or look up a company's existence, status, good standing, or details (e.g. "verify Acme LLC in Delaware", "is Acme registered in FL?", "I need to verify a company in Delaware"). If the user has verification intent but has not given the exact company name, ASK them for the name and use THIS tool — do NOT fall back to search_entities. Two tiers: quick (1 credit) returns existence + status + good-standing. Deep (15 credits, or 25 with force_refresh) adds entity type, formation date, registered agent, officers, principal address, and filing history. Deep is available in a subset of jurisdictions; requesting deep where unavailable returns a quick result with a reason. Requires authentication. A completed verification deducts credits whether or not the business is found — a confirmed no-match is a result. Calls that cannot produce an answer (source unavailable or timed out) are refunded.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `check_job_status`

- The name "check_job_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Poll a long-running (async) verification job created by verify_business. Returns the full verification result once complete, a failure reason if it failed, or a "still processing" status to poll again. Free — no credits charged — but requires authentication. Pass the job_id from the verify_business async response.
```

### `get_account`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns your BizVerify account summary: email and verification status, plan, current credit balance, member-since date, and your active and revoked API keys. Free and read-only; requires authentication. Use it to check your remaining credit balance before running paid verifications.
```

### `get_config`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns BizVerify's public configuration as readable text: active US and international jurisdictions, per-operation credit costs, the free-tier allowance, credit packages with pricing, feature flags, and documentation/legal links. Free and requires no authentication. Call this first to discover what jurisdictions are supported and what each operation costs before verifying.
```

### `get_entity`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a previously verified business entity from BizVerify's cache by its ID — returns name, jurisdiction, status, type, good-standing, formation date, registered agent, and the number of snapshots on record. Free and read-only; does NOT fetch a fresh live result (use verify_business with force_refresh for live data). Requires authentication. Pass an entity_id returned by a prior verify_business or search_entities call.
```

### `get_entity_history`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the chronological verification snapshots recorded for an entity — each with a timestamp, name, and status — newest first, with pagination. Costs 5 credits and requires authentication. Use it to see how a company's status or details have changed over time.
```

### `list_jurisdictions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists every registered jurisdiction with its code, active/inactive status, and supported capabilities — search, entity lookup, quick verification, and deep verification. Free and requires no authentication. Use it to confirm a state or country is supported and which verification tiers it offers before calling verify_business or search_entities.
```
