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

### `play_video`

- 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

    Play a video from Al Jazeera 360. In AI apps that support interactive views
    (MCP Apps), this opens the official Al Jazeera 360 player inside the chat;
    elsewhere it returns the watch link. Use when the user asks to watch or play something.

```

### `run_diagnostics`

- 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

    Check whether this AI app can play Al Jazeera 360 videos inside the chat
    (protected video / DRM, embedding the official player, fullscreen).
    Use when the user says a video does not play in the chat. Call it with no arguments;
    the interactive view runs the checks and shows the result.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    episode page, player) in the conversation. Use it ONLY when the user explicitly asks
    to see or display something on screen or to play an episode here (e.g. «اعرضلي»،
    «وريني»، «شغّلها هنا», "show me", "display", "play it here"). For everything else,

### `watch_video`

- 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

    Look at an Al Jazeera 360 episode: returns timestamped frames (one every ~15 s is
    available) as images, so you can see scenes, people and read on-screen text such as
    guest names and titles, news tickers and quotes. Use it to describe an episode, find
    who appears or when something is shown, or to build chapters and metadata.
    For long episodes, look at the whole range first, then zoom into a range.
    Afterwards, save_video_analysis stores what you found so it becomes searchable.
