## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `lint_endpoint` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

description: "...ic seven-day report link. No payment or credentials; GET cannot validate a POST-only endpoi..."
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "preflight_payment" says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `preflight_payment`

- The name "preflight_payment" says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- 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
Call this before any x402/USDC payment to evaluate the actual challenge or cart before signing. Spend preflight for AI agents. Send the x402 PaymentRequired body (v1 or v2) you received, or a cart, plus optional rules (per-payment max, hold threshold, daily cap, allowlists, new-domain days, endpoint category price multiple, liveness and payTo changes). Returns allow|hold|block with reasons, the cheapest acceptable payment option, and a receipt id. Read-only: never signs, settles, or holds funds. Use before every payment. It includes payee screening in its spending-rule decision. For standalone wallet, name, or domain screening without a payment, use check_payee instead. Each repeat call creates a new receipt and may consume another trial or paid call. Price $0.02 per call (free trial first).
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `check_endpoint`

- 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
Cached x402 endpoint observations, operated by SpendPreflight. Returns a transparent score (or unknown), its components and seven-day unpaid probe history for an already publicly listed URL. Never fetches the caller's URL or pays the endpoint. Unlisted, unavailable or stale data is not charged. This is not a paid-delivery or compliance guarantee. Provide the exact resource URL; add method when the URL has multiple advertised methods. Use for endpoint history and price context before paying. Use check_payee for wallet/name screening or preflight_payment for an allow/hold/block decision. Price $0.005 per cached lookup (shared free trial first). An unknown score means missing evidence; repeated paid calls may incur another charge.
```

### `check_payee`

- 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
Payee risk check. Screens a payee wallet address and name against the OFAC SDN sanctions list and checks the merchant domain's registration age and DNS. Returns risk low|medium|high|unknown with flags such as sanctioned_address, sanctioned_name_possible, new_domain. Call this before a USDC payment when you only have a payee name, wallet or domain. Provide at least one of domain, address, or name; inputs may be combined, and domain accepts a hostname or URL. For an x402 challenge or cart and an allow/hold/block spending-rule decision, use preflight_payment instead. Price $0.01 per call (free trial first).
```

### `lint_endpoint`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free x402 Lint by SpendPreflight. Checks a public HTTPS endpoint with an unpaid GET: v1/v2 challenge shape, payTo/asset/network syntax, price, Bazaar metadata and browser CORS headers. Returns fixes and a public seven-day report link. No payment or credentials; GET cannot validate a POST-only endpoint or paid delivery. Do not submit private URLs.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `get_service_info`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free, read-only service reference. Use when you need prices, default spending rules, payment setup, trial allowance, or a ready-to-use example call. If you already have a payment challenge or cart, call preflight_payment directly; this reference call is optional. Takes no arguments and performs no payee screening or payment decision. Use check_payee for standalone payee risk; use preflight_payment for an x402 challenge or cart and an allow/hold/block decision.
```
