## Findings

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

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

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


## Changes things (1)

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

### `faa_get_aircraft_type`

- The name "faa_get_aircraft_type" says "get": a word for reading.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- 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
Decode a 6–7-character FAA manufacturer/model/series code to aircraft specifications — manufacturer, model, aircraft category, aircraft type, engine type, number of engines, number of seats, weight class, cruise speed, and type-certificate data sheet/holder. Use faa_search_aircraft_types first to discover a code by manufacturer or model name.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `faa_get_registration_status`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Resolve whether a US civil aircraft N-number is active, deregistered, reserved, or unknown, including the available registration and airworthiness status. Use this rather than faa_lookup_registration when a number may be inactive. A number that was never issued returns recordType "unknown" — a valid, informative answer, not an error. Accepts "N12345" or "12345".
```

### `faa_lookup_registration`

- The name "faa_lookup_registration" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Decode one US civil aircraft N-number to its full registration record — aircraft make/model, engine, year manufactured, airworthiness, registration status, Mode S (ICAO 24-bit) code, and registered owner (when owner-PII redaction is off). Accepts "N12345" or "12345" (the leading N is optional). Returns ownerRedacted: true when owner details were withheld. A number that is known but inactive (deregistered or reserved) is not found here — use faa_get_registration_status for its current state.
```

### `faa_search_aircraft_types`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search FAA aircraft types by manufacturer/model name, aircraft type code, or category code to discover 6–7-character manufacturer/model/series codes and browse specifications. Pass a code to faa_get_aircraft_type for specs or faa_search_registrations as manufacturerModelCode for exact registration matches, then faa_lookup_registration for details. At least one filter is required. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.
```

### `faa_search_registrations`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search active US civil aircraft registrations by owner name, make/model, exact manufacturerModelCode, state, aircraft type, or Mode S (hex) code. Discover codes with faa_search_aircraft_types, search registrations by manufacturerModelCode, then drill into N-numbers via faa_lookup_registration. Filters are AND-combined; at least one is required. Owner-name search is unavailable when this deployment redacts owner PII — use the other filters instead. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.
```
