## Findings

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

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


## Deletes or cancels (5)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `move_to_trash`

- The name "move_to_trash" says "move": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Moves one of your recipes, materials, notebook entries or firing logs to the Trash, as removing it on the website does. It can be put back from the Trash on the website for 30 days; nothing is deleted for good. A token moves at most 100 an hour, and none while the Trash is full. Remove only what the person asked to remove. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `remove_from_shelf`

- The name "remove_from_shelf" says "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Takes materials off the shelf of materials on hand, by name. The materials themselves stay. The shelf as it was is kept: undo_shelf_change puts it back. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `undo_shelf_change`

- The description's first verb is "put": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Puts back the shelf as it was before its last change (by the website, an access token or an assistant). One step back only: a second call finds nothing to undo until the shelf changes again. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `update_my_material`

- The name "update_my_material" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Changes one of your own materials (an id from list_my_materials): its name, oxide analysis in weight percent, loss on ignition or notes. Only what is given changes. Recipes already saved keep their own copy of it. The material as it was is kept as an earlier version, so the person can undo the change on the website. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `update_recipe`

- The name "update_recipe" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Changes one of your saved recipes (an id from list_recipes): its title, its base materials and amounts (the unity formula is worked out again), its notes, firing band or food-surface mark. Only what is given changes. The recipe as it was is kept as an earlier version, so the person can undo the change on the website. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

## Changes things (10)

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

### `add_my_material`

- The name "add_my_material" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Saves a material of your own in your Glazecalc account (the Materials page) from its oxide analysis in weight percent, as on a data sheet, with its loss on ignition. Recipes can then use it by name. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `add_notebook_entry`

- The name "add_notebook_entry" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Adds an entry to your Glazecalc notebook (the Notebook page), with an optional title: a test result, an observation, a firing to try. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `add_to_shelf`

- The name "add_to_shelf" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Marks materials as on hand (the shelf that Match with what I have uses), by the library's names or your own materials'. The shelf as it was is kept: undo_shelf_change puts it back. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `blend_recipes`

- 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
Works out the test tiles of a line blend between recipes a and b (2 to 11 steps), or of a triaxial blend when c is given too (2 to 6 rows, up to 21 tiles), as the Blends page of the Glazecalc app does. Each tile is a mix of the corner recipes, each taken as a percent of its base: its shares, its recipe in percent, its key unity formula figures (silica, alumina, boron, the fluxes), silica to alumina, calculated expansion, the names of the limit cautions it has, and, with a firing, whether its chemistry fits that firing (coneFit verdict). With two recipes and steps 2 it compares them oxide by oxide (differences). Give base materials only, no colorants. This is a calculation from published figures, not a test result: the tiles, fired, decide, and the cautions are guides, not a guarantee of food safety.
```

### `check_limits`

- 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
Checks a glaze recipe for what is past a recommended limit for its firing (too much boron or alkali, too little alumina, too little or too much clay, rising expansion...) and says what the fired glaze will likely do, as the Glazecalc app does. A cone is checked in the band the recipe page gives it (low cone 06-02, mid 1-7, high 8-11); from cone 12 up (band 'top') no published limits reach, so the band's limits are not checked and limitsNote says so. With a firing, coneFit says whether the chemistry looks like that firing's, by Katz's boron rule and Hesselberth & Roy's silica and alumina whatever limit set is chosen: verdict 'cooler' or 'hotter' only when boron and silica or alumina agree on another band; 'fits' (nothing points away, not a pass); 'skipped' where the published figures do not reach (lead, lithium, much soda and potash or zinc, raku, cones 01 to 3, cooler than cone 06 or hotter than cone 10...). Cone 6 against cone 10 is told apart only roughly (strength 'soft'). These are cautions and guides from published figures, not a test and not a guarantee of food safety.
```

### `convert_cone_temperature`

- The name "convert_cone_temperature" 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
Converts between a pyrometric cone and its temperature, and between °C and °F. Orton cones run 022 to 42: Glazecalc's figure, from 022 to 15, is Orton's older chart for large cones at 150 °C an hour, and Orton's current figures (self-supporting cones at 15, 60 and 150 °C an hour, large cones at 60 and 150, cone 022 to 14) come beside it; Orton publishes no figure above cone 14, so cones from 16 up have none. SK cones (JIS R 8101, SK 022 to SK 20) by the standard's nominal figures. Give a cone, or a temperature to find the nearest cones.
```

### `create_recipe`

- The name "create_recipe" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Saves a new glaze recipe in your Glazecalc account, from its base materials and amounts (the library's names, or your own materials'), with optional colorants, notes, firing band and food-surface mark. Glazecalc works out its unity formula, as the recipe page does, and answers with it. Save only a recipe the person asked to save. Needs an access token that can read and change your records.
```

### `match_from_materials`

- 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
Remakes a glaze recipe from only the materials listed in "have", keeping its unity formula as near as they allow, as Match with what I have does in the Glazecalc app. report.closeness says how near the new unity formula comes to the old, oxide by oxide: close (within 0.02, or 5% of a large amount such as silica's), off, or far (more than three times that), with a verdict (close, fair or poor) and a summary. report.miss and report.best are the solver's own scores, for comparing runs. Raw clay is held to 20% of the batch where that costs the match little (report.capped and allowMore say more). Test any suggestion before using it.
```

### `match_with_what_i_have`

- 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
Remakes one of your recipes, or a recipe you give, from only the materials on your shelf, keeping its unity formula as near as they allow (Match with what I have). report.closeness says how near the new unity formula comes to the old, oxide by oxide, as match_from_materials does. Test any suggestion before using it.
```

### `solve_target`

- 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
Makes a glaze recipe, in percent, from the materials given whose unity formula comes as near a target as they allow (Solve for a target in the Glazecalc app). The target is a unity formula (moles; the fluxes are scaled to add up to 1) or an oxide analysis (percent by weight of the fired glaze), with potash and soda apart. Give the materials by their library names, or onHand for the materials on the person’s shelf (with a token or connected app that may read it). closeness says how near each oxide comes: close (within 0.02, or 5% of a large amount such as silica’s), off, or far (more than three times that), with a verdict (close, fair or poor) and a summary; unreachable names the target’s oxides nothing given supplies. Raw clay is held to 20% of the batch where that costs the match little (capped and allowMore say more). Test any recipe before using it.
```

## Only reads (13)

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

### `analyze_recipe`

- The name "analyze_recipe" says "analyze": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Works out a glaze recipe's unity (Seger) formula, oxide groups, silica to alumina ratio, fired analysis, loss on ignition and calculated thermal expansion, as the Glazecalc app does.
```

### `get_firing`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One firing log from your account: its columns (time, temperature, cone...) and rows, and its notes.
```

### `get_material`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One material from Glazecalc's library: its oxides, loss on ignition, whether it is discontinued and what replaces it, where it is sold, hazards and the data sheet it comes from.
```

### `get_my_settings`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Your Glazecalc settings that matter when talking about glazes: region, temperature scale, cones, language, weight unit, whether lead may be suggested, the limit set recipes are checked against, the currency your prices are in (never the prices), and whether changes made by assistants wait for your approval on the website (confirmChanges: off, removals or all; it can be changed only there).
```

### `get_recipe`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One recipe from your account: its materials and amounts, colorants, notes, its stated firing (firedAt: the cone scale, the low and optional high cone of the claimed range, the cones actually tested, the atmospheres and processes, and for a temperature the rate and hold; each cone exactly as the potter gave it), whether it is for a food surface, the firing logs it went through with a result note each and, where known, the cone and atmosphere each was fired at, the potter’s summary of how it came out at each cone and atmosphere (coneResults; one outside the stated firing is kept), the firing band and target specific gravity saved with it, and its unity formula worked out afresh. It is checked against the limit set chosen in your settings: for the firing given here, or else the band chosen on the recipe, or else the bands its stated firing falls in (a range across two bands is checked at each). A firing from cone 12 up is band 'top', where no limit set has figures: its limits are not checked, and limitsNote says so. coneFit says, for the same firing, whether the chemistry looks like that firing's, as the recipe page's limits panel does: by Katz's boron rule and Hesselberth & Roy's silica and alumina whatever limit set is chosen, a note (verdict 'cooler' or 'hotter') only when boron and silica or alumina agree on another band, 'closer' when a range across bands looks nearer one end, 'fits' when nothing points away (not a pass), 'skipped' where the published figures do not reach (among them firings cooler than cone 06 or hotter than cone 10). Cone 6 against cone 10 is told apart only roughly (strength 'soft'). A guide, not a test.
```

### `get_shelf`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The materials you marked as on hand in Glazecalc (the shelf that Match with what I have uses).
```

### `list_firings`

- The name "list_firings" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists the firing logs saved in your Glazecalc account, newest first.
```

### `list_my_materials`

- The name "list_my_materials" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists the materials you have saved in your own Glazecalc account (not the shared library), with their oxides.
```

### `list_notes`

- The name "list_notes" says "list": a word for reading.

```untrusted-server-text
The notes in your Glazecalc notebook, newest first, optionally only those about one record (a recipe, material or firing log id).
```

### `list_recipes`

- The name "list_recipes" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists the glaze recipes saved in your Glazecalc account, newest first, optionally only those whose title or a material matches a search, or whose stated firing includes a cone or names an atmosphere or process ("which of my glazes fire at cone 10 reduction?"). Each lists its stated firing; a recipe with none has not stated one.
```

### `search_guides`

- The name "search_guides" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Searches Glazecalc's plain-language guides for potters (glazing from first principles, making a glaze, safe mixing, safety at home with children and pets, firing a kiln, and a companion to John Britt's free glaze course, in English only) in the language asked for, or in English where that language has no match. Returns each matching section's title, anchor, a short excerpt, its address on the website and its resource URI, which resources/read returns in full. Use it for glaze defects, safety, firing and terms, and cite the address.
```

### `search_materials`

- The name "search_materials" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finds ceramic raw materials (feldspars, clays, frits, fluxes) and, if asked, colorants in Glazecalc's library by name, alias or maker. Use it to find the exact name the other tools take.
```

### `suggest_substitutes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finds the discontinued or scarce materials in a recipe and the modern ones that replace them, then suggests amounts that keep the unity formula as near as the materials allow, as the Glazecalc app does. report.closeness says how near the new unity formula comes to the old, oxide by oxide, as match_from_materials does. Test any suggestion before using it.
```
