## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "distribution" 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 "evaluate": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "hypothesis_test" 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.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "bayes_update" 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 "bayes_update" says "update": a word for a change.

## Changes things (6)

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

### `bayes_update`

- 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.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `confidence_interval`

- 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
Confidence interval for a mean (t-based; from data, or n/mean/sd) or a proportion (Wilson; successes/n). kind = mean | proportion; confidence default 0.95.
```

### `descriptive_stats`

- 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
Summary statistics for a numeric array: mean, median, sd, variance, quartiles, IQR, skewness, min/max.
```

### `distribution`

- The description's first verb is "evaluate": 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
Evaluate a probability distribution (normal, t, chi2, binomial, poisson): pdf/pmf and cdf at a value, and/or the quantile at a probability, plus mean & variance. Params per dist: normal {mean,sd}, t {df}, chi2 {df}, binomial {n,p}, poisson {lambda}.
```

### `hypothesis_test`

- 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 a significance test and get the statistic, p-value, and a plain-language interpretation with assumptions. test = one-sample-t {data, mu0}, two-sample-t {data1, data2}, one-proportion-z {successes, n, p0}, two-proportion-z {successes1,n1,successes2,n2}, chi2-gof {observed, expected?}, chi2-independence {table}. Optional tail: two-sided (default) | greater | less; alpha default 0.05.
```

### `linear_regression`

- 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
Simple linear regression of y on x: slope, intercept, r, r², slope std error and p-value, equation.
```
