## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "get_product" 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 "get_product" says "get": a word for reading.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "shop_links" 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 "shop_links" says "link": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (6)

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

### `account_options`

- 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
Who each AMSOIL account type is for, how it differs from the others, and the enrollment link with dealer referral zo=30734402: shopping without an account, Preferred Customer membership, commercial, retail, installer, and independent dealer.
```

### `contact_dealer`

- 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
How to reach Jeff Pittman, the independent AMSOIL dealer behind A1 Synthetic Oil, and what to include when asking for help choosing a product or account.
```

### `get_product`

- The name "get_product" says "get": a word for reading.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- 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
Full A1 guidance for one product: description, fitment notes, a common question, the U.S. and Canadian product codes, and the AMSOIL shopping link with dealer referral zo=30734402.
```

### `nearest_distribution_centers`

- 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
The three closest AMSOIL distribution centers in the same country as a U.S. ZIP code or Canadian postal code, by straight-line distance. These are AMSOIL facilities, not A1 locations, and the nearest one may not fulfill an order.
```

### `shop_links`

- The name "shop_links" says "link": 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
AMSOIL product links with dealer referral zo=30734402 for up to 25 product codes, plus the storefront link. The user opens each link, chooses the package size, and checks out on AMSOIL.
```

### `suggest_for_vehicle`

- 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
Matches the viscosity grade and specification a vehicle's owner's manual lists to AMSOIL products, with shopping links carrying dealer referral zo=30734402 and the official AMSOIL lookup link for confirming the exact fit. It does not look up vehicles: give the requirements from the manual. Without them it returns questions to ask (needs) instead of guessing.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every product category with its product count and A1 catalog page.
```

### `search_products`

- The name "search_products" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the AMSOIL catalog by product name, product code, viscosity grade (for example 5W-30), product type, or category, with the same ranking and typo tolerance as the a1syntheticoil.com catalog search. Returns product codes, the A1 product page, the AMSOIL shopping link with dealer referral zo=30734402, matching categories, and related A1 guides. Does not return prices or stock.
```
