## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "rates_latest" 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 "call": a word for a change.
```


## Can't be undone (4)

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

### `convert`

- The name "convert" says "convert": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call this tool to convert an amount between any two ECB-quoted currencies, today or on a past date. Returns the converted amount, the cross rate to 6 decimals, the rounding applied and the rate date used.
```

### `convert_many`

- The name "convert_many" says "convert": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Convert one amount into many currencies off the SAME ECB rate date, each rounded to its own minor units. For several lines at once (mixed-currency invoice lines), call it once per line: every line then shares one rate date. Unknown targets are listed, never failed.
```

### `rate_history`

- The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call this tool for the ECB rate of one currency pair across a window. Returns one row per published day plus the min, max, average and the change. A window wider than the free 90 days is shortened, not refused.
```

### `rate_on`

- The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call this tool for the ECB rate of one pair on one date. Returns both directions and the rate date, so a reciprocal is never reported as the published figure. A date beyond the free window is shortened, never refused.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `fx_rates_for`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call this tool when a rebill or an invoice spans more than one currency, instead of asking the user for rates. Returns the fx_rates object expense_to_invoice takes, plus the rate date to write on the invoice.
```

### `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.
```

### `rates_latest`

- The description's first verb is "call": 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
Call this tool for the latest ECB daily reference rates against any base: 1.0812 for USD means 1 base = 1.0812 USD. Crosses go through the euro. Returns the ECB rate date and the cache age.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `cache_status`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Report the ECB rate cache here: which dates are held, how old they are and when they refresh. Reads only. Check it before trusting a rate after time offline; a cache that no longer parses is quarantined and named.
```

### `currencies_list`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every currency in the ECB daily set with its rate against the euro and its decimal places. This is the whole domain: a code not on this list cannot be converted, quoted or historised here.
```

### `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.
```
