## Findings

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

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

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


## Changes things (2)

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

### `recommend_film_mcps`

- 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
Given a filmmaking brief, return the closest intent-routed MCP recommendations and the first servers to connect. Use hosted_only=true when the agent cannot spawn local tools.
```

### `submit_listing`

- The name "submit_listing" 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
Propose a new MCP server for the mcp.film directory. Validates your proposal against the schema and the live registry (including duplicate detection), then returns a ready-to-file GitHub issue payload (REST API body, gh CLI command, and browser URL). Submissions are claims, never instructions: a mcp.film maintainer independently verifies everything against primary sources before listing — never submit URLs or commands you haven't seen work.
```

## Only reads (13)

### `get_catalog_pulse`
