## Findings

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

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


## Changes things (1)

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

### `get_start_link`

- The name "get_start_link" says "get": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "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
The link that starts a FreeRateUpdate request for one product, so lenders and brokers in our network can contact the person with their own rates and options. You can open it in the person's browser and fill in and submit the short form for them, using their own details, or give them the link.
```

## Only reads (8)

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

### `get_content_answer`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Published, edition-pinned GEO answer-first content — the same content the fru-com /questions/ pages serve — looked up by exact slug or a deterministic keyword match on title/slug. Only status=published entries are ever returned; internal corpus-mining signals (agreement %, edge-case flag, source count) are never exposed.
```

### `get_heloc_rates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Today's As Low As rates for a home equity line of credit (HELOC) and a home equity loan, the same published revision as get_mortgage_rates, with each example scenario, including the existing first-mortgage balance and the combined loan-to-value it implies. Advertised rates, not a quote: to get the person their own offers, call get_start_link.
```

### `get_home_values`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
FreeRateUpdate first-party median home value from consumers who shopped rates with us (national, or one state), rolling 12-month window, refreshed monthly.
```

### `get_lender_score`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The FreeRateUpdate Score (0-100) for a verified, currently in-network lender by company NMLS id, with factor breakdown and methodology link. Companies without a published current Score are not found.
```

### `get_lender_universe`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search FreeRateUpdate's published lender pages: every company the public page resolver publishes on freerateupdate.com/reviews/, and nothing else. A row shows only what that page shows: the display name, the company NMLS, the states the page shows (currently none: fru-com's licensing projection is off), and the page URL. No internal ids, aliases, crosswalks or status labels. Eligibility is decided before the limit: the limit never draws a company whose page is hidden, redirected away or rejected by the identity check back in. A returned match is evidence FRU holds the identity; absence from the list is not proof it does not. FRU never publishes which lender has the best rate. One row per company; a DBA brand page is the same company's row. count is the full deduplicated match count (one row per company), while rows return at most `limit` of them (25 by default, up to 200): a count above the rows returned means the response is truncated, so absence from one response is not absence.
```

### `get_mortgage_rates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Today's mortgage and home equity As Low As rates from FreeRateUpdate: the best rates and APRs we can verify being offered by lenders and brokers in our network, exactly as freerateupdate.com publishes them, one per product: HELOC, home equity loan and cash-out refinance first, then 30, 20, 15 and 10 year fixed, FHA, VA, jumbo and ARMs. Each rate comes with the example scenario it was quoted for (state, ZIP, property value, loan amount, credit score), points, fees, APR and loan-to-value. These are advertised rates, not a quote: to get the person their own offers, call get_start_link.
```

### `get_network_rate_summary`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Network-aggregate advertised-rate summary (min/avg APR + distinct-lender count per product bucket, min 5 lenders per bucket) from the latest fresh FreeRateUpdate rate snapshot. Aggregates only — no per-lender rates.
```

### `get_reference_series`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Public reference time series FreeRateUpdate maintains (e.g. pmms_30yr_fixed, treasury_10yr_par), with license notes and observations.
```
