## Findings

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

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

description: "...ustomers and reports. Payment-processor credentials and device settings are never returned...."
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "phppos_run_report" says "run": a word for a change.
```

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Run one of the store's reports and return it (title, summary, detail rows); `paging.next_offset` is set when more detail rows remain. Report keys and their inputs come from phppos_list_reports (for example summary_sales, top_sellers, inventory_low, summary_profit_and_loss, summary_taxes, closeout). Typical inputs go in `params`: start_date, end_date, sale_type, location_ids (array), category_id, supplier_id, customer_id, employee_id.
