## Findings

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

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

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


## Changes things (1)

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

### `run_eligibility_scan`

- The name "run_eligibility_scan" says "run": 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
Check which senior-benefit programs a person likely qualifies for, using a deterministic rule engine tied to cited .gov sources — no AI guessing. Only age and zip_code are required; every extra field provided turns needs-more-info programs into definite answers. Include marital_status whenever known — many programs' income limits depend on it, so it resolves far more programs than most fields. The full guided check at https://discoverseniorbenefits.com/scan covers additional signals.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `find_programs_by_zip`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the federal, state, and county senior-benefit programs that apply where a person lives, from their 5-digit ZIP code. Each program includes its cited government source URL, a last-verified date, and an apply-guide link on discoverseniorbenefits.com. Optionally filter by jurisdiction level or category keyword.
```

### `get_program_details`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full public details for one program by its id (ids come from find_programs_by_zip or run_eligibility_scan): description, cited government source, how to apply, documents required, and the apply-guide link on discoverseniorbenefits.com.
```
