## Findings

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

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

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


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `manage_regulatory_watchlist`

- 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
Manage this account's watchlists. action=list needs nothing else; other actions need watchlist (name or id). update accepts new filters, alert_preferences or new_name.
```

## Changes things (4)

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

### `list_regulatory_alerts`

- The name "list_regulatory_alerts" says "list": 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
New alerts for this account's watchlists, highest priority first: new publications, Public Inspection filings (labeled prepublication), deadline extensions, effective-date changes, withdrawals, corrections and deadline reminders. Reading marks them delivered unless peek=true. An empty list means nothing new.
```

### `manage_business_profile`

- 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
Optional business profile used to suggest relevance: industries, NAICS codes, business size, regions, regulated activities, interests, federal contractor status. Give only what helps monitoring. action=get reads it.
```

### `rate_regulatory_alert`

- 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
Tell FedReg Tracker how relevant a document was: relevant, not_relevant, high_priority, already_reviewed, more_like_this or stop_tracking (no more alerts for that document).
```

### `track_federal_regulations`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Save a persistent watchlist. FedReg Tracker then monitors the Federal Register and Public Inspection on its own schedule and queues alerts and deadline reminders, with no chat open. Example: 'Track new cybersecurity regulations affecting federal contractors' → {name:'cyber-contractors', filters:{keywords:['cybersecurity'], cfr:[{title:48}]}}. Requires an access key.
```

## Only reads (7)

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

### `compare_regulatory_documents`

- The name "compare_regulatory_documents" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare two Federal Register documents (or the latest proposed and final rule for a RIN): exact metadata differences plus sentence-level text differences with verbatim excerpts. Text comparison is labeled partial; it is not a legal redline.
```

### `get_cfr_changes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Changes to codified CFR text from the eCFR (ecfr.gov): which sections got a new version, when (version, amendment and eCFR issue dates), whether eCFR marks it substantive or removed, links to the eCFR page and XML for that date, and Federal Register documents that probably made the change. Parts in watchlists are checked daily; any other part is read on first request. Give cfr_title and cfr_part (or a section like 63.2), or a watchlist with CFR filters. Version metadata, not a text diff; the eCFR is not the official legal edition.
```

### `get_regulatory_deadlines`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Upcoming comment deadlines or effective dates from the documents' structured fields, filtered by date range, agency, keywords, or one of your watchlists. Dates are calendar dates as published.
```

### `get_regulatory_document`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full structured record for one Federal Register document: status, agencies, publication/comment/effective dates, RINs, dockets, CFR parts, official links, linked rulemakings, deadline history, any earlier Public Inspection filing, and (when configured) the Regulations.gov docket title, comment period and posted comment count. Also finds documents still on Public Inspection.
```

### `get_regulatory_intelligence_brief`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A structured, source-linked brief for one document: what happened, agency, status, who may be affected (from your watchlist when given), why it may matter, key dates, a suggested next step, sources, confidence and limitations. Built from source fields, not generated guesses.
```

### `get_regulatory_timeline`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lifecycle of a rulemaking: proposed rule, comment periods, extensions, final rule, effective date, corrections and withdrawals, with observed events and deadline history. Give a RIN, a rulemaking_id or a document_number. Links are 'confirmed' (shared RIN) or 'probable' (shared docket); missing stages are never invented.
```

### `search_federal_regulations`

- The name "search_federal_regulations" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search U.S. Federal Register documents (final rules, proposed rules, notices, presidential documents) live from FederalRegister.gov. Filter by keywords, agency, document type, publication/comment/effective dates, CFR title and part, RIN, docket or industry. Every result states its legal status (a proposed rule is never binding) and official links. No account needed.
```
