## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (10)

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

### `check_5472_obligation`

- 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
Use to screen common Form 5472 triggers for a foreign-owned US disregarded entity or corporation. The result is a general filing screen and does not prepare or file the form.
```

### `check_fbar_fatca`

- 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
Use to screen general FBAR and Form 8938 thresholds from aggregate balance, filing status, residence, and account-count facts. Do not request account numbers, institution names, or statements.
```

### `check_itin_eligibility`

- 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
Use to screen general ITIN reason categories, whether a return is commonly attached, and supporting-document requirements. Never request or process an actual ITIN, passport, or identity document.
```

### `check_resolution_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
Use to screen general IRS payment and collection alternatives from a rough balance, filing-compliance status, ability-to-pay category, and coarse tax-account type when known. This is an educational fit screen, not a promise that the IRS will approve an option.
```

### `decode_irs_notice`

- 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
Use when a user provides the code from an IRS notice or letter and wants a general explanation, the usual response window, or the next procedural step. Do not request the notice itself or any taxpayer identifier.
```

### `estimate_accountable_plan`

- 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
Use to estimate potentially reimbursable business expenses under an accountable-plan scenario, including the split 2026 business-mileage rates. The result does not establish a plan or determine substantiation.
```

### `estimate_augusta_rule`

- 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.

```untrusted-server-text
Use to screen the fewer-than-15-days home-rental rule under IRC 280A(g) and calculate conditional amounts. Keep the owner-side income exclusion separate from the business-side requirements for ordinary and necessary use and reasonable rent.
```

### `estimate_irs_penalty`

- 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
Use to estimate selected federal failure-to-file, failure-to-pay, and underpayment amounts from nonidentifying figures. The result is an estimate and does not replace an IRS account transcript.
```

### `estimate_quarterly_taxes`

- 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
Use to estimate federal quarterly tax payments from nonidentifying income, entity, withholding, and prior-year tax figures. Return the assumptions, safe-harbor context, and due dates.
```

### `estimate_rental_income`

- 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:

Use to estimate a basic rental-income result from nonidentifying figures and identify the modeled depreciation, passive-loss, and personal-use limitations.
```

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `deadline_calendar`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use to return common federal filing and payment dates for a selected filer or entity type. The user must verify the date for weekends, holidays, extensions, fiscal years, and special facts.
```

### `explain_tax_document`

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when a user names a US tax form or information document and wants to understand its purpose, common fields, or usual return treatment. Do not request or accept the document itself.
```
