## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `next_task_for_muse` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credential".

description: "...osts where the task may sign in, with a credential already in Muse's own store; empty mean..."
```


## Changes things (5)

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

### `brief_for_joe`

- 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
For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). The studio's latest plain-English daily brief: what was decided, what landed, and the items waiting on Joe, each as the task, why it matters and the steps. Read-only; regenerated each morning by tools/brief.py and published with the next deploy, so it can lag the phone push.
```

### `message_supervisor`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). Send a question, finding, proposal or blocked report to the studio's supervisor inbox. Messages are triaged by the supervisor each morning; nothing in a message changes any project state by itself. Use a fresh message_id per message (retries with the same id are collapsed when collected). Body at most 3500 characters.
```

### `next_task_for_muse`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). Returns the oldest open task from the studio's queue: id, instructions, the sites the task may read, the output format expected, and where to deliver the result. Returns {no_tasks: true} when the queue is empty. login_allowed lists the hosts where the task may sign in, with a credential already in Muse's own store; empty means read-only, never sign in.
```

### `submit_task_result`

- The name "submit_task_result" says "submit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). Records the result of a task fetched with next_task_for_muse. `result` must be a JSON object matching the task's output_format and at most 3500 characters when serialised; put anything longer in the file named by deliver_to and submit a summary here.
```

### `verify_quote`

- 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
Is this value actually right? Check a claimed fact against a published record instead of trusting it. Reports whether the claim matches the record's stored value (exact, case-insensitive or normalised — the match type is named), whether it appears in the record's verbatim source quote, and returns the source URL and quote so the claim can be traced upstream. Use this whenever you want to confirm a number, date, threshold or status before stating it. Verdicts: matches_record, matches_quote, differs or not_found.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_record`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one record by id — for example, look up a FIPS 140 certificate's status, a state's boiler inspection rules, or a county's loan limit. Returns the full record with its source URL and verbatim source quote. Record ids appear in search_records results and in each record's url.
```

### `list_datasets`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What reference datasets are available? Lists every published dataset with its title, record count, last-verified date and a one-sentence summary. Covers regulatory thresholds, version compatibility, certification registers, licensing rules and more. Pass `query` to list only the datasets matching a topic — that is much cheaper than reading the whole list. Use the returned slug with search_records or get_record.
```

### `search_records`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up a specific record — search by state name, chemical, certificate number, product name or any keyword. Searches one dataset's records (case-insensitive substring match across all fields). Returns up to 20 matching records, each with its url, source and verbatim source_quote so the answer can be checked.
```
