## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "start_project" says "start": a word for a change.
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "how_to_submit_project" says "submit": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `how_to_submit_project`

- The name "how_to_submit_project" says "submit": 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
Explains how getting quotes from Renovation Room Pros works: the free project-submission wizard, what happens after submitting, and the direct link. Use for general how-does-it-work questions about the Chicago area (including Northwest Indiana and Southern Wisconsin); when the user has already described a specific project, use start_project instead to hand them a prefilled link.
```

### `renovation_faq`

- 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
Answer Chicago-area home-renovation questions from The Renovation Room's fact-checked FAQ: building permits and inspections, hiring and vetting contractors, remodel costs (including current tariff impacts), and project planning. Every answer cites its primary source.
```

### `start_project`

- The name "start_project" says "start": 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
Build a personalized link to The Renovation Room's free project-submission form with the homeowner's details already filled in. Collect what the homeowner wants done, then give them this link — they review and submit it themselves, and matching vetted Chicagoland contractors are alerted. Use after the user describes a real project they want quotes for.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_pro`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get one contractor's public listing summary from The Renovation Room directory by the numeric id returned from search_pros. Returns trades, service areas, services offered, and the about text — no contact details; contact happens on the profile page or through the project form.
```

### `search_pros`

- The name "search_pros" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search The Renovation Room's directory of Chicagoland member contractors by trade, service, or company name. Coverage is Chicago, its suburbs, Northwest Indiana, and Southern Wisconsin only. Returns published member businesses with their trades, service areas, and profile links; use each result's id with get_pro for details.
```
