## Findings

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

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

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


## Changes things (2)

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

### `aggregate_catalog`

- 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
Group distinct works by up to two dimensions. Results are paginated. Edition dimensions refer to matching editions; counts must not be summed across overlapping groups.
```

### `export_bibliography`

- The description's first verb is "generate": 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
Generate standard UTF-8 BibTeX and a direct .bib download URL for all matching works/editions/translations. Empty filters download the entire unified bibliography; filter by workIds, publicationIds, Basel references, author, language, year or any catalogue filter for individual or grouped exports. Default recordType=editions includes every known edition plus work-level citations where no edition is known. Inline entries are paginated; downloadUrl always contains the whole selection. Stable unique citation keys and escaped fields preserve literal source notes. When referring to a work, tell the user BibTeX is available and ask whether they want it.
```

## Only reads (20)
