## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "dmarc_generate" 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 "dmarc_generate" says "generate": a word for a change.

## Changes things (12)

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

### `audit_domain`

- 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
Use this when the user asks why their emails go to spam or wants a full deliverability check of a domain. Runs SPF, DKIM (finds the selector on its own), DMARC, blacklist and MX checks in one call and returns pass, warning or fail for each, an overall result, and the fixes to apply in priority order with help links. Takes about 10 seconds. mailX never changes DNS.
```

### `bimi_check`

- 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
Use this when the user asks about BIMI or showing a brand logo next to their emails in inboxes. Returns the live BIMI record, the logo URL it declares, and a fix suggestion.
```

### `blacklist_check`

- 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
Use this when the user suspects their domain is blacklisted or blocked. Checks the domain against major DNS blocklists and returns the result for each list.
```

### `dkim_check`

- 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
Use this when the user wants to verify DKIM for a domain. Pass the DKIM selector if known (for example google for Google Workspace, selector1 or selector2 for Microsoft 365). If the selector is unknown, omit it: mailX then tries common selectors and returns the ones it finds. Returns the published key and its status. A miss on common selectors does not prove DKIM is absent.
```

### `dmarc_check`

- 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
Use this when the user asks about DMARC, spoofing protection, or what happens to emails that fail authentication. Returns the live DMARC record, its policy and a fix suggestion.
```

### `dmarc_generate`

- The name "dmarc_generate" says "generate": 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
Use this when the user needs a DMARC record. Returns the record name, value and type ready to publish. mailX does not publish it.
```

### `imap_check`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this only when the user explicitly asks to test an IMAP login for a mailbox they control and provides its credentials. Connects to the IMAP server and reports whether connection, encryption and authentication succeed. Credentials are not stored.
```

### `imap_finder`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this when the user needs the incoming mail (IMAP) server settings for an email provider, such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud or Zoho. Returns the host, ports with encryption and the provider's setup guide. Never asks for the user's credentials.
```

### `smtp_check`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this only when the user explicitly asks to test an SMTP login for a mail account they control and provides its credentials. Connects to the SMTP server and reports whether connection, encryption and authentication succeed. If from_email and to_email are both given, it also sends one test email. Credentials are not stored.
```

### `smtp_finder`

- 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.

Returns the host, ports with encryption, what to use to log in, and the provider's setup guide. Never asks for the user's credentials.
```

### `spf_check`

- 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
Use this when the user asks whether a domain's SPF record is valid, which servers may send email for a domain, or why SPF fails. Returns the live SPF record, a pass/fail status and a fix suggestion.
```

### `spf_generate`

- The name "spf_generate" says "generate": 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
Use this when the user needs a new SPF record for their email provider. Returns a TXT record ready to publish, or explains what to set up instead when the provider does not need a root SPF include. mailX does not publish it.
```

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

Description, as the server wrote it:
