## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `best_day`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- 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
Which day in a window (max 7 days) is best for an activity at a destination — a spot, a region, or lat+lon with a radius — and why, versus the runner-up. Returns every day's best score, confidence, caveats and a KaiCast spot card for the winner. Free during early access.
```

## Changes things (1)

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

### `recommend_spot`

- 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
Ranked top picks (max 5) for an activity in one area on one day — by region id, or lat+lon with a radius. Each pick has the best daylight window, why (from the published conditions), a confidence score with its factors, caveats, and a KaiCast spot card. Returns status "not_covered" / "conditions_only" / "activity_not_modeled" honestly instead of guessing. Activities: snorkel (native model), dive, freedive, spearfish (proxy model; spots in water closed to spearfishing are excluded), surf (not modeled). Free during early access.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_conditions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Facts for ONE covered spot over up to 7 days: 3-hour forecast periods with condition score (0-100) and rating, water visibility (ft), swell height/period/direction, wind, tide state and height, water temperature, plus tide events and data quality. Pass a spot id, or lat+lon to use the nearest covered spot within 30 km. Free.
```

### `list_coverage`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Which regions and spots KaiCast covers, and whether each region supports ranked decisions (spot picks and best-day answers) or facts only. Also lists supported activities and how directly each is modeled. Anywhere not listed is not covered. Free.
```

## Claude Code permissions
