## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "ebook_compare" says "compare": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `ebook_compare`

- The name "ebook_compare" says "compare": 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
Runs the identical pinned EPUBCheck 5.4.0 validation over exactly two EPUB builds (directly hosted public URLs or files attached in chat, baseline first, revised second) sequentially under one shared 110-second deadline, then reports which spec findings regressed or were fixed between them. Returns per-build hashes, EPUB versions, pass verdicts and severity counts, a regressions list (rules that appear or worsen in the revised build) and a fixed list (rules removed or reduced), and a ranking by pass state then fewer blocking findings. Use for 'did my re-export get worse', 'which build has fewer problems', and revision-over-revision questions. The ranking orders automated conformance only (it never means one build renders, reads, or sells better), and when both builds tie on pass state and blocking count it names no winner rather than crowning the first submission. It also flags when the two files declare different titles, since that usually means they are not two builds of one book. Human review remains required for both builds. A comparison can take up to 110 seconds under its shared deadline; tell the user before the call.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `ebook_check`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validates one EPUB (a directly hosted public URL or a file attached in chat) against the EPUB 2/3 specification using a pinned local EPUBCheck 5.4.0 engine run in a no-network sandbox. Each call takes exactly one source: the url parameter or the file attachment, never both. Returns the automated verdict: pass boolean, EPUB version, message counts by severity (fatal/error/warning/usage), findings grouped most-severe-first with EPUBCheck rule id (RSC-005, OPF-014, …), file path and line/column, plus a structural inventory (spine items, media types, remote-resource state), SHA-256 of the exact bytes, and truncation metadata. Use for one-file readiness and diagnosis: 'is this ebook valid', 'does this EPUB have specification problems before upload', 'what is wrong with it'. A pass means only that the bytes satisfied the automated profile; it never renders the book, judges accessibility, or guarantees any store will accept it, and human review of how the book reads and looks is always required. Downloads and validates a live EPUB under a 110-second call deadline; tell the user before the call.
```
