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

bayes_updateDiscrete Bayesian update: given competing hypotheses each with a prior and the likelihood of the observed evidence, return normalised posteriors.1 finding
Why it is in this group
- The name "bayes_update" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it Discrete Bayesian update: given competing hypotheses each with a prior and the likelihood of the observed evidence, return normalised posteriors. Priors are renormalised to sum to 1.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Bayesian update
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
confidence_intervalConfidence interval for a mean (t-based; from data, or n/mean/sd) or a proportion (Wilson; successes/n).No findings
Why it is in this group
- 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.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
