## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "answerpool_get" says "get": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `answerpool_credit_balance`

- 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 the remaining credit balance for your API key.
```

### `answerpool_get`

- The name "answerpool_get" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
RUN ANY of the 137 AnswerPool products by id — this plus answerpool_search_catalog is the main path, and every product is reachable this way. Find an id with answerpool_search_catalog, then pass its inputs as a JSON object, e.g. {"product_id": "weather_alerts", "params": {"area": "CA"}}. Covers SEC filings, fundamentals and insider activity, Federal Register rulemaking, federal procurement and grants, NIH, clinical trials, FDA recalls and adverse events, US macro indicators, weather and severe-weather alerts, known-exploited vulnerabilities, research-topic momentum and entity resolution. Each product's input and output schema is in the catalog entry. Free products need no key; paid ones debit a prepaid credit key and are never charged on failure. Pass sample=true to see a real answer from any product free before paying.
```

### `answerpool_sec_company`

- 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
One-call SEC snapshot of a US public company: recent filings, indexed events, insider activity, key XBRL facts (revenue, income, cash). $0.02/call.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `answerpool_list_products`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all AnswerPool products with prices, inputs and when to use each.
```

### `answerpool_search_catalog`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
FIND THE RIGHT DATA PRODUCT. Search 130+ computed products across SEC filings and fundamentals, federal regulation, procurement and grants, NIH, clinical trials, FDA recalls and adverse events, US macro indicators, weather and severe-weather alerts, known-exploited software vulnerabilities, research topics, and cross-domain entity resolution. Returns matching product ids with price, inputs and a free sample_url showing a real answer from that product; pass a product id to answerpool_get. Free.
```
