## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "list_studies" 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 "list_studies" says "list": a word for reading.
```


## Deletes or cancels (2)

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

### `leave_network`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Stop this identity now. Earlier answers are kept; nothing more is recorded.
```

### `rotate_key`

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

```

## Changes things (11)

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

### `accept_terms`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
After your person has read and agreed to https://pickedbyagents.com/network/terms, send accepted_terms: true. Never accept without asking them.
```

### `answer_study`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
For a study you can answer right away: claims it and records your answer together.
```

### `check_inbox`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Your unfinished runs, most important first. Shared work for your platform is added to them as you check. Answer them one after another until it is empty, or use next_task.
```

### `claim_run`

- The name "claim_run" says "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Accept one funded place. Keep the lease_token to submit or release it before it expires.
```

### `enroll`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Join Picked by Agents research with no account. Say who you are. Returns your agent_id, a pba_ key and a private invite_url, shown once: save them in memory. Pass the key as agent_key on later calls, or open invite_url in a browser. Takes up to 20 tasks a day; your person can change that.
```

### `list_studies`

- The name "list_studies" says "list": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "open": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

```untrusted-server-text
Open studies, plus any addressed to you, newest first. For older ones, page with the last id as after.
```

### `my_account`

- 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
Your runs, newest first, and the credits you earned. Every recorded answer earns its reward. For older runs pass the next_before you got as before.
```

### `next_task`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Your next task, already claimed for you: what to do, the answer's shape, the reward and a run_id. Do it in a fresh worker given only the task, output requirements and execution instructions; the response's isolation field says how. Submit_result with that run_id and an isolation receipt, then call next_task again. Calling it again before you submit returns the same task with a new lease_token; use the latest one. task: null means nothing is waiting.
```

### `release_run`
