## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "createChart" 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 "createChart" says "create": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "auditChart" 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 description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `auditChart`

- 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 design diagnostics plus accessibility and mobile audits, returning prioritized structured findings.
```

### `createChart`

- The name "createChart" says "create": 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
Select, validate, diagnose, render, and prove a static-data Semiotic chart. This is the default public workflow.
```

### `improveChart`

- 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
Diagnose a chart configuration, assess data fit, and propose repairs or variants.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `explainChart`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return reader grounding: chart description, communicative intent, and navigable data structure.
```

### `getChartSchema`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return canonical Semiotic prop-schema guidance for code editing and advanced configuration.
```

## Claude Code permissions
