change_planMove the user to a bigger monthly plan, charged now to their saved card.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "move": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Move the user to a bigger monthly plan, charged now to their saved card. Call without confirm to get the price; tell the user, and only with their yes call again with confirm=true and expectedChargeUsd. Works only if the user allowed agent payments for this connection, within its monthly limit; with no plan yet it starts one only if the user saved a card, else gives a subscribe link.
Annotations the server declares

- destructiveHint: true
- idempotentHint: false

launch_discoveryLaunch a search for Instagram accounts.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Launch a search for Instagram accounts. SPENDS the user's credits (real money): 25 per verified match (every condition proven with quotes); possible matches are free. creditsCap (required, at most 500) is the most it may spend: agree it with the user first. It holds goal × 25 and returns the unused part. Accounts already delivered are skipped unless excludeSeen=false. Returns { runId }; poll get_run_status, then read get_run_results.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: true
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: true
reset_seen_accountsDESTRUCTIVE.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "reset_seen_accounts" says "reset": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
DESTRUCTIVE. Clear your dedup pool. Default clears only your blocklist: handles you imported are removed, and accounts earlier runs delivered (or ruled out by follower count) go back to how they were before you blocklisted them.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: true
- idempotentHint: true

estimate_creditsWhat a search may cost, without launching.No findings
Why it is in this group
- 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
What a search may cost, without launching. 25 credits per verified match; possible matches, rejected profiles and empty searches are free. Give goal and/or creditsCap: a launch holds goal × 25 and returns what verified matches don't use. Works without an API key (new accounts start with 125 free credits, see signUp); with one, also says if your balance covers it and, when short with no plan, gives subscribe: show the user its link.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false

Anlyon alternative

7 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
