## Findings

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

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

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

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "inspect" destructive (destructiveHint: true), and its name says "inspect", a word for reading.

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

- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.script), which can change anything it can reach.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs an async JavaScript function body in the selected active component sandbox and returns bounded JSON. Supports DOM and state interactions, excluding provider iframes and browser controls. Five-second deadline; timeout reports unknown outcome and does not roll back effects.

- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Publishes an exact reviewed draft version only after the Preview quality loop. Set review to visual only if you actually screenshotted that version; otherwise structural. Do not publish a failing layout. Success requires ok and receipt:paint. Failed rendering preserves the previous component.
```

### `queue_component`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Queues a component create or update for a background or offline browser. Returns queued rather than rendered. Default expiry is one hour, maximum 24 hours. Source is removed on completion or expiry.
```

### `render`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Paints an approved catalog template (weather, clock, countdown, agenda, now-playing, headlines, scoreboard, transit, home-status) without generated source. weather location defaults to Sudbury. First matching-display paint skips preview. Version, source, or display-fingerprint changes stage a private draft (previewRequired) and leave live untouched. Data-only refreshes need componentID.
```

### `select`

- The name "select" says "select": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `set_component_data`

- The name "set_component_data" says "set": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Pushes live observations without regenerating source. Same-source React reuses the compiled module. Default replaces data; merge:true shallow-merges keys (32KB bound). Optional slot targets a nested sub-component on a fullscreen board. Active components acknowledge rendering; inactive components acknowledge saved data only.
```

### `update_component`

- The name "update_component" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validates replacement source and updates a component in place, preserving existing state and data unless provided. Failed rendering retains the previous version.
```

### `update_draft`

- The name "update_draft" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Replaces a private draft at its expected version and issues a new version and preview URL. Previous preview links become invalid; original expiry is unchanged. Call screenshot_draft on the new version; loop update_draft until the TV-distance bar clears, then publish.
```

### `claim_canvas`

- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Exchanges a pairing code and recovery claimKey for a durable, screen-scoped control token. Repeating the same pair recovers the original grant.
```

### `create_component`

- The name "create_component" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validates, renders and saves a React or HTML component immediately to the right of focus. Success requires browser paint acknowledgement.
```

### `navigate`

- The name "navigate" says "navigate": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Focuses a component or moves one position. Acknowledges after the selected component renders.
```

### `pairing_status`

- The name "pairing_status" says "status": a word for reading.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- 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
Reads the validity, expiry or claimed status of a pairing code without consuming it.
```

### `prepare_draft`

- The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Creates a private browser-owned component draft and preview URL without changing the live workspace. Drafts expire after 15 minutes or browser reload. Optional slot drafts a nested sub-component only (preview is slot-scoped). Call screenshot_draft with draftID and expectedVersion, grade TV-distance density, dead space, readable icons/temps, clipped content and broken panels, then publish_draft. Never put previewURL in chat.
```

### `set_agent_status`

- The name "set_agent_status" says "set": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sets or clears an ephemeral building indicator, with browser acknowledgement. Does not change workspace revision or publish drafts. Automatically clears after two minutes.
```

## Only reads (7)

```

### `get_console`

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

```

### `get_operation`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `list_templates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists approved TV template slugs, versions and param examples. Prefer render(slug) for these boards instead of generating source.
```

### `read_component`

- The name "read_component" says "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reads a component source, saved state and supplied data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Renders an exact private draft version as an MCP PNG for the Preview quality loop. Requires draftID and expectedVersion. Isolated layout only — not the live TV. A screenshot never publishes.
