## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "evaluate_hand" 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 "evaluate_hand" says "evaluate": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `evaluate_hand`

- The name "evaluate_hand" says "evaluate": 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
Versioned optimized immediate score from bengine-core. Played and held order is optimized, not evaluated literally. Unsupported effects are rejected.
```

### `recommend_action`

- 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
Exact small-deck mathematical action values under optimal continuation in the supported model, not estimated real-game success. Returns all optimal ties and fully reconciled draw explanations; no recommendation on incomplete jobs. No A2/full-deck sampling.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `compare_actions`

- The name "compare_actions" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare all immediate plays or exact small-deck play/discard values, with the same contract and validation as HTTP. Exact mode limits: 12 draw cards, two hands, two discards. Select explain_actions for particular branches.
```

### `get_solver_capabilities`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Engine/rules/build identity, contract version, supported effects, assumptions and limits.
```
