## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "youtube_comments" says "comment": a word for a change.
```

Description, as the server wrote it:
