## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true}; The name "virtuous_query" says "query": a word for reading.
```


## Deletes or cancels (4)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `virtuous_add_contact_tag`

- The name "virtuous_add_contact_tag" says "add": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Apply an existing tag to a contact (find the tagId with virtuous_list_tags). Virtuous: POST /api/ContactTag.
```

### `virtuous_create_contact_note`

- The name "virtuous_create_contact_note" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

```untrusted-server-text

### `virtuous_create_contact_transaction`

- The name "virtuous_create_contact_transaction" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit a new or updated contact through Virtuous's import pipeline (the recommended way to add contacts). It is matched against existing contacts by name, email, phone, address and reference, bundled into an import at midnight, and only committed when a user reviews the import and clicks Run — so nothing is created in real time and no duplicates are forced. Virtuous: POST /api/Contact/Transaction.
```

### `virtuous_create_gift_transaction`

- The name "virtuous_create_gift_transaction" says "create": a word for a change.
- The input carries an amount (input.amount) and a currency, so it moves money.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Record a gift (donation already received) through Virtuous's gift import pipeline — the method Virtuous recommends. The gift is matched to a contact, recurring gift or pledge, held until the nightly import, and only created when a user reviews the import and clicks Run. This records a gift; it does NOT charge anyone. Identify the donor with contact.id, contact.referenceId, or name/email details. Virtuous: POST /api/v2/Gift/Transaction.
```

## Changes things (1)

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

### `virtuous_query`

- The name "virtuous_query" says "query": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "run": 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
Run a Virtuous query-builder query against one record type (contacts, gifts, campaigns, projects, tasks, grants, pledges, recurring gifts, events ...). Conditions use parameter/operator names from virtuous_get_query_options. Returns { list, total }. For Contact and Gift, full_details returns full records instead of the abbreviated view. Virtuous: POST /api/<Resource>/Query.
```

## Only reads (15)
