## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "query_public_account" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

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

### `query_public_account`

- The name "query_public_account" says "query": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Explicit online query of a public profile or ONE page of followers/following (one source page, usually 25 people). May consume credits: a first list page needs maxCredits of at least 2 (profile + page), a next page 1. Require user authorization for this target, type and maxCredits. Generate and keep idempotencyKey before the first attempt; reuse it with identical arguments when restoring. Never automatically fetch all pages or increase budget.
```
