## Findings

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

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

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

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `retire_strategy`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retire one of your verified strategy records: it stops accruing new forward results, keeps its full history and stays public on the Verified board marked retired.
```

## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `publish_strategy`

- The name "publish_strategy" says "publish": a word for a change that another call does not undo.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs a backtest spec (same format as run_backtest) on the server and publishes it to the FinzData Hub as a public, reproducible strategy page at data.finzdata.com/s/<slug>, forward-tracked daily from today. Only server-computed results are stored. Costs one backtest; free accounts may publish 3 a day. visibility='private' keeps it unlisted.
```

## Changes things (9)

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

### `backtest_export`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

### `fork_strategy`

- The name "fork_strategy" says "fork": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `register_strategy`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

### `run_backtest`

- The name "run_backtest" says "run": 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
Runs a deterministic backtest from a JSON spec (universe, start, end, signal, rebalance, top_n, costs_bps, side='long'|'long_short', blind=true to hide tickers). universe: a list of symbols, or 'top500'|'top1000'|'top3000'|'all' for the liquid US market (each month the N most-traded names priced >= min_price, default $5, by 63-day dollar volume; 'all' = liquid_top names, default 1000, max 3000; delisted names included while they traded; membership is set on each month's last trading day and used from the next). rebalance: D|W|M|Q (or daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly). signal.type: momentum (lookback, skip days), ma_cross, factor, or expr with signal.expr a formula over close prices, e.g. 'rank(ret(252)) - rank(vol(60))' (functions: ret, logret, sma, ema, vol, rsi, high, low, dist_high, lag, rank, zscore, demean, abs, log, sign, clip, min, max, where). Point-in-time fundamentals for US stocks (from 2011) work as expr variables and as signal.type factor fields (set ascending false to buy the highest): earnings_yield, book_to_market, sales_yield, ebitda_ev, dividend_yield, roe, leverage, log_mcap, e.g. 'rank(book_to_market) + rank(ret(252) - ret(21))'; such results carry a 'fundamentals' coverage and survivorship report. Every result includes 'overfitting': trials counted per API key and the deflated Sharpe ratio. Prices are fetched point-in-time with a 400-trading-day lookback buffer and clipped to as_of, so results have no look-ahead. Identical specs on the same snapshot are cached and free. Returns stats, benchmark stats, equity curve, warnings, snapshot id and a disclaimer.
```

### `star_strategy`

- The name "star_strategy" says "star": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

```untrusted-server-text
Runs your backtest spec twice: once on the point-in-time universe (delisted companies included while they traded, the honest result) and once on only the names still trading today (what a backtest on a current ticker list does). Returns both stats and the inflation in CAGR and Sharpe that survivorship bias adds. Use universe 'top500'|'top1000'|'top3000' or a symbol list. Costs one backtest.
```

### `verify_chain`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
