## Findings

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

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

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


## Changes things (3)

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

### `discover`

- 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
One project chosen at random from the archive. Editorial serendipity: the way a reader opens a magazine to an unplanned spread.
```

### `get_api_key`

```

### `similar_projects`

- 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
Nearest projects to a given slug by visual + semantic similarity (precomputed SigLIP neighbours). Use the slug from search_projects results.
```
