## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "get_started" 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 name "get_started" says "get": a word for reading.
```


## Deletes or cancels (3)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `enqueue_solve`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Record a heads-up postflop solve request. Required: title, board, pot (bb), effective_stack (bb). The job stays pending: solver dispatch and billing are not configured, so this does not start a solve.
```

### `submit_request`

- The name "submit_request" says "submit": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
File a feature request or data request for the user, after telling them their question isn't covered and they agree. kind "data" is missing coverage (a game, format, stack depth, spot, or solve); kind "feature" is a missing capability (a tool, filter, export, or endpoint). Free with any key; the PokerData team reads every one.
```

### `upload_hand_history`

- The name "upload_hand_history" says "upload": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Secondary upload path for a small paste. Prefer get_upload_link and the hosted /upload page. Runs the same ingestion pipeline and returns hands parsed, tournaments parsed, and errors. Does not grade solver frequencies.
```

## Changes things (1)

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

### `get_started`

- The name "get_started" says "get": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "start": 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
Start here with a new user. Returns the short set of questions to ask them (game, format, stakes, goal), a menu of what PokerData can do with the tools for each, what is free without a key, and how to file a feature or data request. Free, no key needed.
```

## Only reads (28)

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

### `compare_strategies`

- The name "compare_strategies" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Preferred tool for differences between two preflop or postflop contexts. The server fetches both strategies and returns action-frequency/EV deltas plus the largest postflop combo changes, avoiding two large node payloads.
```

### `explain_combo`

- The name "explain_combo" says "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Preferred tool for exact NLHE postflop hand questions. Returns a canonical context, exact action mix, action EV/loss when available, made-hand and draw classification, blocker facts, and same-rank-class suit comparisons. The server computes evidence; the agent should phrase causality as interpretation.
```

### `find_hands`

- The name "find_hands" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find hands the account has uploaded. Returns hand_id, session_id, handAt, position, cards, game, board, potType, street lines, and netBb. Solver grade buckets are not filled. If this account has no hands, offer the hosted upload page from get_upload_link (https://pokerdata.io/upload) instead of asking the user to paste histories into chat.
```

### `get_board_report`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Preferred tool for board-texture heuristics. Aggregates action frequencies and range/action composition across solved boards in one postflop pack. Results explicitly report sample breadth and use equal weight per board.
```

### `get_config`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Table for one preflop game and stack, in big blinds: seats, stacks, blinds (sb 0.5, bb 1), ante, antePostedBy, stackIncludesAnte, openSizes (first-in raise-to), evUnit, evBaseline. Convergence is not published. stackIncludesAnte is true: the named depth is the starting stack and the 1bb BB ante is posted from it. openSizes at 40bb is open 2.2x (listing 2.2bb; node decodes code 40034 to 2.19bb) and SB 2.8x (2.8bb). 10bb is all-in/fold versus 50bb stacks, so stacks is null there. evs on nodes are small blinds relative to fold. Example: get_config({ game: "nlmtt8", stack: 40 }).
```

### `get_exploitability`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Preflop exploitability for a game. No preflop dataset publishes exploitability, convergence, or iteration counts. The answer is not available; this tool never fills in a number.
```

### `get_hand_results`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Per-hand cumulative results for a winnings curve. `points` is [{ hand, bb }], oldest to newest, downsampled. Pass session_id for one session. If this account has no hands, offer the hosted upload page from get_upload_link (https://pokerdata.io/upload) instead of asking the user to paste histories into chat.
```

### `get_node`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Actions available at a decision node. `history` is an action path ending in the position about to act, e.g. "UTG_60%_HJ". sizeBb is the raise-to in big blinds and sizePctPot is the percent of the pot after calling (nlmtt8 40bb Open 40034 is 2.19bb; the pack label is 2.2x). evs are small blinds relative to fold. Compact mode returns action totals; add `hand` for its exact mixed strategy. full=true is full=1: all 169 hold'em hands with explicit 0, and no invented EVs.
```

### `get_opponent_limp_range`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Shown-hand first-in limp range: 169-class counts of hole cards villains showed after an open limp. Pass position for one seat. Sample is showdown-only. This is not a solver range.
```

### `get_opponent_notes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Leak notes computed from uploaded hands for one opponent, with the sample size on each line.
```

### `get_postflop_node`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One postflop solver node: the acting player's strategy for every hand class, the legal next segments, board, reach and the reach-weighted action split. Walk deeper by appending a returned childSegment (an action like "Bet 5.5" or a runout like "deal:7c") to `path`.
```

### `get_postflop_range`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The range a player takes one flop action with, from a solved pack: hand-class weights ("AA:1,AKs:0.42,...", same format as the preflop ranges) after every earlier flop action on the path. `path` ends in the action whose range you want, e.g. ["Check", "Bet 1.8", "Call 1.8"] for the check-call range. Bet-size tree. "33" = 33% pot on the flop, then 75% pot on the turn and river, plus all-in. "75" = 75% pot on every street, plus all-in. Compact and full detail apply to the other range tools; this returns the action range itself.
```

### `get_queued_solve`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up one queued solve for this account. status is pending, running, done, or failed. solution_id is null until a worker exists.
```

### `get_range`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The GTO range for one spot. `spot` is an action path of POSITION_ACTION pairs ending in the action whose range you want, e.g. NLHE cash "UTG_60%_HJ_Call", nlmtt8 "UTG_Open", or PLO "UTG_Open_HJ_3B". Add `hand` for one exact frequency and EV. Compact mode is default; PLO returns representative pure/mixed hands unless a hand is specified; plo5 returns the top hands by EV that take the action (limit up to 500 compact, 2000 full).
```

### `get_range_metadata`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Index metadata for one preflop game, stack, and path: bundle stats for hold'em/PLO bundles, or the matching node row for plo5 and plo6hu. Does not return a strategy and does not invent exploitability.
```

### `get_session_summary`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One uploaded session's headline numbers: hero, game type, start and end times, hands played, net result in big blinds, and HUD rates (VPIP, PFR, 3-bet, open limp) as percentages with the sample size. Use it after list_my_sessions to report how a session went; use get_hand_results for its winnings curve and find_hands for individual hands. Returns an error for an unknown session id. Any key works, free trial included, and it never counts against the allowance. If this account has no hands, offer the hosted upload page from get_upload_link (https://pokerdata.io/upload) instead of asking the user to paste histories into chat.
```

### `get_tournament_results`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
MTT results imported from tournament summary files. Money is in cents. Hand histories are not a source of buy-ins or prizes. If this account has no hands, offer the hosted upload page from get_upload_link (https://pokerdata.io/upload) instead of asking the user to paste histories into chat.
```

### `get_tree_docs`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Tree documentation for one dataset: coverage note from the shipped README and per-stack bundle or node counts from the shipped index. Does not read or modify range bytes.
```

### `get_upload_link`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Primary hand-upload path. Returns https://pokerdata.io/upload on this origin, with a short-lived signed token for the caller's account when signing is configured. Hand the URL to the user. Pasting histories into chat is the fallback.
```

### `list_datasets`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List preflop datasets in the shipped tree documentation (stacks, positions, whether each bundle was analyzed). Preflop exploitability is not available.
```

### `list_games`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Discover covered stack depths and positions. Call this before low-level preflop queries. "nl" = no-limit hold'em 6-max cash (169-grid hands, per-hand EV in small blinds), "nl9" = no-limit hold'em 9-max cash, "nlmtt8" = no-limit hold'em 8-max MTT chip-EV (10–300bb, 1bb BB-ante; Fold/Call/Limp/AI/Open/3B tokens), "nlh8-hydra" = no-limit hold'em 8-max MTT chip-EV with a classic 0.1bb ante from every seat (10, 20, 30, 60bb; same tokens as nlmtt8), "plo" = pot-limit Omaha 6-max cash (4-card), "plo5" = pot-limit Omaha 5-card 6-max (100bb, 1.2bb ante), "plo9" = pot-limit Omaha 9-max cash, "plo6hu" = 6-card Omaha heads-up (BTN vs BB, 100bb). Cash trees are not tournament, ICM, PKO, or satellite solves. nlmtt8 is chip-EV only.
```

### `list_library_solutions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finished postflop solutions saved for this account. None are marked done while dispatch is disabled.
```

### `list_my_opponents`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Tracked opponents from uploaded hands. Each row has handCount, handsVsHero, and heroBb100Vs. Pass name to find one villain.
```

### `list_my_requests`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the feature and data requests this account has filed, newest first, with their status. Free with any key.
```

### `list_my_sessions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Recent uploaded sessions, newest first: id, hero, game type, dates, hands, and net result. game_type matches hole-card count. If this account has no hands, offer the hosted upload page from get_upload_link (https://pokerdata.io/upload) instead of asking the user to paste histories into chat.
```

### `list_postflop_packs`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every solved postflop pack: preflop line, positions (OOP vs IP), stack, pot, the bet-size trees it is solved under, and the solved boards. Boards use the spaced form ("3h 3d 2s"). NLHE packs list `sizingTrees`: "75" (75% pot every street, the pack id itself) and "33" (33% pot on the flop, then 75%, under the `<pack>-flop33` id); every postflop tool accepts either tree's packId. PLO5 packs (ids starting plo5-) solve one 33% flop tree, flop decisions only. Compact output lists board names per pack. Pass `pack` (the 75% id or the -flop33 id) for that tree's per-board detail and per-flop exploitability where the index publishes a number. Missing exploitability is omitted, never estimated. Pass `variant` to list only NLHE or PLO5 packs. Call this before get_postflop_node.
```

### `list_queued_solves`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List this account's solver-queue jobs, newest first. Jobs are not dispatched.
```

### `list_spots`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search valid decision nodes for a stack depth, tagged by depth (1 = RFI, 2 = vs open, 3 = 3-bet pots, …). Compact mode is paginated; use depth, contains, and offset to narrow results without loading thousands of paths. plo9 has no spot index: walk it with get_node from history "UTG".
```
