## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "convert_timestamp" 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 "convert_timestamp" says "convert": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "convert_timezone" 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 "convert_timezone" says "convert": a word for a change.

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "add": a word for a change.

## Changes things (8)

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

### `convert_timestamp`

- The name "convert_timestamp" says "convert": 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
Convert a Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds; auto-detected unless unit is given) to a human-readable date in a time zone, with ISO 8601, RFC 2822, UTC offset, DST flag, weekday, and a relative phrase like "3 days ago".
```

### `convert_timezone`

- The name "convert_timezone" says "convert": 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
Convert a wall-clock date/time from one IANA time zone to another, correctly across daylight-saving transitions. Returns both sides with offsets, the hour difference at that instant, and whether either zone is on DST.
```

### `cron_next_runs`

- The name "cron_next_runs" 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
Explain a 5- or 6-field cron expression in plain English and list its next run times in a time zone (as ISO 8601 and Unix timestamps). Use to answer "when does this cron job run next?" or to validate an expression.
```

### `date_duration`

- 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 exact duration between two dates or date-times: calendar years/months/days, plus total days, hours, minutes and seconds, and the number of weekdays (Mon-Fri). Handles leap years and DST via the IANA database.
```

### `days_until`

- 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
Countdown to a holiday or to a date: days, hours and minutes remaining, and the next occurrence date. Pass an event slug (e.g. "christmas", "thanksgiving", "easter", "super-bowl") or a date (YYYY-MM-DD). Call with no arguments to list the known events.
```

### `epoch_math`

- The description's first verb is "add": 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
Add to or subtract from a Unix timestamp in calendar-aware units (years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds) in a time zone, e.g. "now + 30 days" or "1748736543 - 3 months". Returns the resulting timestamp in every format.
```

### `parse_datetime`

- 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
Parse a date/time string (ISO 8601, RFC 2822, HTTP date, SQL "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss", or a Unix timestamp) into a Unix timestamp and a normalized description. Strings without an offset are interpreted in the given time zone.
```

### `time_now`

- 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 current time: Unix epoch in seconds and milliseconds, ISO 8601, and the local wall-clock time in a given IANA time zone with its current UTC offset and DST status. Use this before any relative date reasoning.
```
