## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true}; The name "analyze_eml" says "analyze": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (5)

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

### `analyze_eml`

- The name "analyze_eml" says "analyze": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "run": 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
Run a deliverability/content analysis on a raw RFC 822 email (.eml source: full headers + body). IMPORTANT LIMITS: with no live SMTP session, SPF, blacklist and reverse-DNS cannot be verified from a file - for the authoritative score use create_mailtest instead.
```

### `check_blacklist`

- 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
Check a domain against domain blacklists (Spamhaus DBL, SURBL, URIBL and others), or an IP address against 24 IP blacklists including Spamhaus ZEN, Barracuda and SpamCop. Checks the exact target given: domains are not resolved to IPs. Returns per-list listing status.
```

### `check_spoofability`

- 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
Grade how exposed a domain is to email spoofing and business email compromise, from its public DNS (SPF, DMARC policy strength, alignment, live lookalike domains). Returns an A-F grade with findings.
```

### `create_mailtest`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a disposable test address for a full email deliverability audit (score /10: SPF, DKIM, DMARC + alignment, blacklists, reverse DNS, SpamAssassin content, Gmail/Yahoo bulk-sender compliance). The USER must then send an email from the system they want to test to the returned address, after which get_mailtest_result returns the score.
```

### `trace_redirect`

- 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
Follow a URL server-side through every HTTP redirect hop to its real final destination - per-hop status, IP, TLS and timing, plus phishing/deliverability flags (cross-domain jumps, https downgrades, meta/JS redirects). Fetching is SSRF-hardened (private ranges blocked, HTTPS-only, per-hop validation); how it works: https://redirect.postboxservices.com/
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_domain_age`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a domain's registration date and age (young domains have weak sending reputation).
```

### `get_mailtest_result`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the score and breakdown of a mail test created with create_mailtest, once the user has sent their email to the disposable address.
```

### `whois_lookup`

- The name "whois_lookup" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WHOIS summary for a domain: registrar, created/updated/expires dates, nameservers, DNSSEC, status flags.
```
