## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `period_delete`

- The name "period_delete" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Delete one built period from the register and give its free-tier slot back. Refused when a closed month's snapshot covers the period, and that month is named. No sibling book is touched.
```

## Can't be undone (3)

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

### `ledger_build`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Derive the double-entry ledger for one period in ONE currency from the invoice, credit note, deposit, expense, bank and asset stores, and register it. Nothing is written back. Free: 3 periods a month.
```

### `ledger_report`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends 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
Report a built period account by account: debits, credits, movement and closing balance, plus purchase commitments held as memos and the period's exceptions. Pro; ledger_lines gives the lines free.
```

### `trial_balance`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Total the debits and the credits for a period and prove they are equal to the minor unit. When they are not, name the entries whose own legs do not add up and the source document behind each. Free and unlimited.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `ledger_lines`

- The description's first verb is "list": 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
List the ledger lines for a period, filtered by account, source server, source_id or date; each carries its debit, credit and bank_ref, with the totals of the rows returned. Filtered totals do not balance. Free.
```

### `license_activate`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Turn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it.
```

### `month_close`

- The name "month_close" says "close": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List what a month leaves unposted or unbalanced, with its trial balance and bank reconciliation, then store the close as a snapshot; a later call names any drift against it. dry_run writes nothing. Pro.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `ledger_export_csv`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the period's ledger lines as RFC 4180 CSV, one row per leg, as a download link valid for one hour. Pro, but ledger_lines returns these same fields free and unlimited; this only lays them out as CSV columns.
```

### `license_status`

- The name "license_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Report this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes.
```
