## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "generate_merged_documents" 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 "generate_merged_documents" says "generate": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `generate_merged_documents`

- The name "generate_merged_documents" says "generate": 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
Use this when the user wants to mail merge from Excel or CSV to PDF: personalized letters from a spreadsheet (thank-you letters for each donor, the same letter to 200 people with their names), certificates in bulk from a name list (award, completion, participation), or envelopes from a contact list (#10 with return address). Fills {{Field}} placeholders with defaults, formats and {{#if}} conditions for each row and returns ONE combined PDF (one document per record, up to 2,000 per batch) plus a per-record merge report CSV. Does not send email, mail, or print anything, and does not make mailing labels. Do not use for Outlook or Gmail bulk email.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `preview_mail_merge`

- The name "preview_mail_merge" says "preview": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this when the user wants to check a mail merge before printing: see how their spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) or list fills a letter, certificate or envelope template, which template fields like {{First Name}} have no matching column, which columns were matched by a similar name (first_name for First Name), and which records have empty values. Returns the first 3 merged records (or from preview_from) and a missing-field report; no files. Does not send email, print, or make labels. Do not use for Outlook or Gmail email merges.
```

## Claude Code permissions
