## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "build_uds_request" 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 "build_uds_request" says "request": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "decode_dtc" 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 description's first verb is "convert": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (6)

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

### `build_uds_request`

- The name "build_uds_request" says "request": 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 UDS request as hex with an annotated breakdown. Services: session, ecu_reset, read_did, write_did, security_seed, security_key, tester_present, routine, request_download, transfer_data, transfer_exit, clear_dtc, read_dtc, control_dtc, comm_control, raw. Numeric strings are hex.
```

### `decode_dtc`

- The description's first verb is "convert": 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
Convert a 3-byte UDS DTC to the SAE J2012 style code (P/C/B/U + digits) plus failure type byte, or the reverse ("U0073-00" to hex). With a status byte, explains each of the 8 DTC status bits.
```

### `decode_isotp`

- 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
Reassemble ISO-TP (ISO 15765-2) messages from CAN frames, per CAN id, and decode each as UDS. Reports frame types (SF/FF/CF/FC), flow-control BS/STmin, sequence-number errors, interrupted messages, padding, and N_Bs/N_Cr/STmin timing warnings when timestamps (ms) are given. Accepts a frame list or a candump text dump.
```

### `decode_uds`

- 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
Decode a UDS (ISO 14229-1) PDU from hex: request, positive or negative response. Names the service, sub-function (and suppressPosRsp bit), DID/RID/address fields, and for negative responses the NRC with meaning and typical cause. Unknown SIDs and NRCs are labelled, not rejected.
```

### `uds_reference`

- 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
Short UDS reference with ISO 14229-1 clause pointers (paraphrased). Topics: a service ID (0x27) or name, an NRC (0x78 or "nrc 78"), a DID (F190) or RID (FF00), timing (p2, p2*, s3), sessions, security (0x27 vs 0x29), reprogramming_sequence. Unknown topics return a topic list.
```

### `udslib_integration`

- 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
Plan how to integrate the UDSLib C stack (ISO 14229 UDS server/client for embedded ECUs): which repo files to take, Kconfig/config hints, an init skeleton, the closest example, and the license terms (free noncommercial / commercial). UDSLib speaks ISO-TP over CAN/CAN-FD; DoIP is not supported.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `analyze_trace`

- The name "analyze_trace" says "analyze": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Analyze a whole CAN trace of a UDS diagnostic or flash session and say what went wrong. Accepts candump logs, Vector ASC, PEAK TRC (1.x/2.x), SavvyCAN or python-can CSV pasted as text, and those plus Vector BLF, Wireshark pcap/pcapng (SocketCAN) and ASAM MF4 bus logging uploaded as a file. Reassembles ISO-TP, pairs requests with responses (including 0x78 responsePending), measures P2/P2*, follows sessions and security access, reconstructs RequestDownload/TransferData into an image with CRC32, extracts identification DIDs, and returns a root-cause finding with the frames that show it. Shows an interactive timeline.
```
