## Findings

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

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

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

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

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

description: "...mended). Payload is scrubbed of credentials before storage."
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "catalyst_log_task" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false}; The name "catalyst_log_task" says "log": a word for reading.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `catalyst_send_lite_event`

- The name "catalyst_send_lite_event" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Send a lifecycle event for a registered AI workflow.

        event_type examples: run.started, action.executed, approval.requested,
        run.completed, run.failed. Idempotent via request_id (UUID recommended).
        Payload is scrubbed of credentials before storage.
        
```

## Changes things (18)

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

### `catalyst_accept_proposals`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Accept one or more proposals, committing them to the flow cycle.

        ids: list of proposal `idempotency_key` values from catalyst_list_proposals.
        Do not pass `task_id` or `id` — the backend looks up proposals by
        `idempotency_key` and will silently match nothing if the wrong field is used.

        Acceptance is the governance commit step: items move from review state
        into live execution state and are recorded in the immutable ledger.
        
```

### `catalyst_activate_compliance_framework`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Activate a pre-built compliance framework pack for this organisation.

        framework: one of gdpr, soc2, iso27001, hipaa, pci_dss, eu_ai_act,
        bribery_act, aml_kyc.
        Once activated, the pack's DENY/REQUIRE/ADVISE rules are merged into
        every subsequent compliance scan — no document upload required.
        Requires can_scan entitlement.
        
```

### `catalyst_await_approval`

- 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
Check approval status for a specific proposal.

        Returns approved: true/false and clear guidance on whether to proceed.
        Call this after catalyst_check_action returns 'proposal_required'.
        Do NOT proceed with the gated action until approved: true is returned.

        POLLING vs EVENT-DRIVEN: For interactive sessions, poll this tool.
        For autonomous long-running workflows, prefer registering a webhook via
        catalyst_register_approval_webhook(callback_url) so your orchestrator is
        notified the moment a human acts — no polling loop required.
        
```

### `catalyst_bulk_update_tasks`

- The name "catalyst_bulk_update_tasks" says "update": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Bulk update all tasks matching a filter. Growth/Enterprise plans only.

        filter keys: domain, priority, stage, owner, tag, group_id.
        updates keys: owner, priority, domain, stage, tags_add, tags_remove.
        Returns matched and updated counts.
        
```

### `catalyst_check_action`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check if a capability/action is permitted by your governance policy.

        Returns decision: 'allow' | 'proposal_required' | 'deny' with guidance.
        Call BEFORE any consequential action (API call, data write, send, deploy).

        If title is provided and decision is 'proposal_required', the intent is
        logged automatically and proposal_id is returned — no second call needed.
        If 'proposal_required' without a title, call catalyst_log_task separately.

        capability examples: 'send_email', 'write_file', 'deploy_code',
        'update_record', 'delete_record', 'external_api_call'.
        
```

### `catalyst_create_tasks_from_findings`

- The name "catalyst_create_tasks_from_findings" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Materialise compliance findings as actionable flow tasks.

        classes: list of finding classes to convert, e.g.
        ['MISSING_CONTROL', 'PROHIBITED_ACTION']. Defaults to both.
        Created tasks enter the governance pipeline like any other ingest.
        
```

### `catalyst_decline_proposals`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Decline one or more proposals without committing them.

        ids: list of proposal `idempotency_key` values from catalyst_list_proposals.
        Do not pass `task_id` or `id` — the backend looks up proposals by
        `idempotency_key` and will silently match nothing if the wrong field is used.

        Declined proposals are recorded for audit and learning but are not
        added to the live flow cycle.
        
```

### `catalyst_evaluate_agent_action`

- The name "catalyst_evaluate_agent_action" says "evaluate": 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
Evaluate whether an agent action is permitted by the governance gate.

        Returns decision: 'allow' | 'proposal_required' | 'deny'.
        High-risk actors with allow decisions are escalated to proposal_required.
        The actor must be registered and active for this tenant.
        
```

### `catalyst_export_ledger`

- 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
Export the immutable SHA-256 chained audit ledger.

        since: ISO timestamp to filter entries (inclusive).
        format: 'json' returns full entries; 'csv' sets entries to null (use REST API for CSV).
        The ledger is tamper-evident — any modification breaks the hash chain.
        
```

### `catalyst_export_workflow_audit`

- 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
Export audit events for an AI workflow as JSON.

        since: ISO timestamp filter (inclusive). ai_standards_only: limit to
        events from workflows opted into Built to AI Standards.
        Suitable for regulatory submissions and investor due diligence.
        
```

### `catalyst_ingest_task`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Ingest one or more tasks into Catalyst governance pipeline.

        Items should include at minimum a 'title'. Optional fields: details, owner,
        priority (Low/Medium/High/Critical), stage, domain, due_at, tags, group_id.
        Returns ingested count and proposal IDs created.
        
```

### `catalyst_log_task`

- The name "catalyst_log_task" says "log": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Log a task or action into the Catalyst governance pipeline.

        Records work, decisions, and actions for audit and governance.
        priority: Low | Medium | High | Critical.
        domain: security | product | operations | compliance | finance | legal | other.
        Returns ingested count and any proposal_ids created (if a governance hold applies).
        
```

### `catalyst_register_approval_webhook`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Register a callback URL to receive proposal approval notifications.

        Subscribes callback_url to proposal.accepted and proposal.declined events.
        When a human approves or declines any proposal, Catalyst POSTs the event
        to your URL with the resolved proposal IDs in data.ids.

        Use this instead of polling catalyst_await_approval for autonomous workflows:
        register once, let your orchestrator (Temporal, job queue, webhook relay) wake
        the agent when the relevant proposal_id arrives. Then call catalyst_await_approval
        once to confirm and proceed.

        Returns subscription IDs, the expected payload shape, and usage guidance.
        Returns upgrade_required: true if outbound webhooks are not on your plan.
        
```

### `catalyst_register_machine_actor`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Register a machine actor (agent, automation) with Catalyst governance.

        runtime_type: zapier_zap | n8n_workflow | openai_assistant | make_scenario |
                      claude_agent | custom_agent | internal_worker.
        governance_mode: observe | advisory | proposal | strict.
        risk_class: low | standard | high.
        Requires can_configure_ai_workflows entitlement (Enterprise+).
        
```

### `catalyst_register_workflow`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Register an AI workflow for EU AI Act compliance governance.

        risk_level: unacceptable (rejected) | high | limited | minimal.
        mode: observe | advisory | proposal. High-risk workflows are forced to proposal.
        Sets ai_standards=True to opt into the Built to AI Standards evidence trail.
        Requires can_configure_ai_workflows (Enterprise+).
        
```

### `catalyst_review_proposal`

- The description's first verb is "approve": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Approve or reject a review-required proposal (AI governance hold).

        proposal_id: the `idempotency_key` field from catalyst_list_proposals.
        Do not pass `task_id` or `id` — the backend looks up by `idempotency_key`.
        decision must be 'approve' or 'reject'. Approved proposals can then
        be accepted via catalyst_accept_proposals. Rejected proposals are
        marked review-rejected in the ledger.
        
```

        Bribery Act, AML/KYC) with its name, description, rule count, and
        whether it is currently active for this organisation.
        Activate a pack with catalyst_activate_compliance_framework.
        
```

### `catalyst_list_compliance_rules`

- The name "catalyst_list_compliance_rules" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all compliance rules currently in effect for the organisation.

        Returns rules from three sources combined and deduplicated:
        - Rules extracted from uploaded policy documents
        - Custom org-level rules (PATCH /compliance/rules)
        - Rules from any activated framework packs

        Each rule includes: id, type (DENY/REQUIRE/ADVISE), trigger sentence,
        severity, scope, remediation guidance, confidence score, and authority citation.
        
```

### `catalyst_list_proposals`

- The name "catalyst_list_proposals" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all pending governance proposals awaiting acceptance or decline.

        Proposals are work items that have been ingested but not yet committed
        to the live flow cycle. They require human (or agent) review.

        Each proposal contains an `idempotency_key` field — this is the canonical
        proposal identifier. Always use `idempotency_key` (not `task_id` or `id`)
        when passing proposal IDs to catalyst_accept_proposals,
        catalyst_decline_proposals, or catalyst_review_proposal.
        
```

Show your governance profile, actor registration, and plan capabilities.

        Returns governance_mode (observe/advisory/proposal/strict), risk_class,
        declared capabilities, and actor_id. Auto-registers you in observe mode
        on first connection — the lightest governance touch.

        Also returns plan_capabilities showing which features are active and
        which require an upgrade — relay any upgrade_required fields to the user
        so they can unlock compliance scanning or AI workflow governance.

        Call this first to understand what you are and are not permitted to do.
        
```

### `catalyst_pending_approvals`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
