## Findings

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

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

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

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

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

description: "...ibers and staff): id, name, email, NPI, credentials and roles — use an id as prescriber_id..."
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `photonhealth_screen_interactions`

- 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:

READ-ONLY: nothing is written or prescribed. Returns alerts with type (DRUG, ALLERGEN, CONDITION), severity (MINOR, MODERATE, MAJOR), a description and the involved medications/allergens. Photon GraphQL (clinical API): prescriptionScreen.
```

### `photonhealth_search_medications`

- The name "photonhealth_search_medications" says "search": a word for reading.

- Findings: warn annotation-conflict
