## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `scan_mcp_metadata` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

description: "...funds. Use a public HTTP(S) URL without credentials, query or fragment. Results use at..."
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `scan_mcp_metadata`

- The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a free public report of MCP tool-description routing collisions.

    Reads discovery metadata (initialize/tools/list) only; never calls target business
    tools or spends funds. Use a public HTTP(S) URL without credentials, query or fragment.
    Results use at most 12 tools and 24 generated cases, not a real-model evaluation.
    The returned report is enriched with agent_plan candidate description-only edits and
    a machine-readable rerun instruction. Candidate edits are not untouched-holdout proof.
    Reports persist and are public by link. For an existing report use get_selection_report.
    Set internal_test=true for owner/CI validation so it is excluded from public scans.
    source is a self-reported referral bucket, not identity verification.
    
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_selection_report`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read and agent-enrich an existing public scan report by id; no new target request or model call.
```

### `selection_lab_info`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get free service capabilities, limits, privacy and connection details; does not scan a target.
```
