## Findings

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

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

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


## Changes things (1)

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

### `oecd_dataframe_query`

- The name "oecd_dataframe_query" says "query": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.sql), 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
Run a read-only SQL SELECT against OECD observation tables staged on a DataCanvas by oecd_query_dataset. Call oecd_dataframe_describe first to discover exact table and column names, then use this tool for aggregation, filtering, GROUP BY, JOIN, and window functions. Only available when CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb is set.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `oecd_dataframe_describe`

- The name "oecd_dataframe_describe" says "describe": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List tables and columns staged on a DataCanvas by a prior oecd_query_dataset spill. Call this before oecd_dataframe_query to discover exact table and column names for SQL. Only available when CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb is set.
```

### `oecd_get_dataset_info`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a dataflow's dimensions, their order, and how to construct a query key. Returns per-dimension names, codelist references, and position in the dot-delimited key. Required before calling oecd_query_dataset to understand key structure.
```

### `oecd_get_dimension_values`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the valid codes and labels for one dimension of a dataflow. Use to resolve human-readable names (countries, measures) to SDMX codes before querying with oecd_query_dataset. Pass query to match a code or label by substring — codelists run to a thousand-plus entries, and the response is a page of at most limit codes either way.
```

### `oecd_list_agencies`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List OECD SDMX agencies, the directorate each belongs to, and the number of dataflows each publishes. Use to discover agency IDs before filtering oecd_search_datasets by department.
```

### `oecd_query_dataset`

- The name "oecd_query_dataset" says "query": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch observations from an OECD dataflow filtered by a dimension key and optional time range. Returns decoded rows (one per observation) with dimension and attribute labels, and values already scaled by the observation unit multiplier. Large multi-country time-series spill to a DataCanvas table — follow up with oecd_dataframe_query; without DataCanvas every row still comes back, but the rendered table stops at a preview slice. Call oecd_get_dataset_info first to learn the dimension order for constructing the key.
```

### `oecd_search_datasets`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search OECD dataflows by keyword or theme, matching against dataflow names and descriptions. Returns flow_ref identifiers, names, and agency IDs for use with oecd_get_dataset_info.
```
