## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "botclaw_choose" 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 description's first verb is "apply": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `botclaw_choose`

- The description's first verb is "apply": 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
Apply deterministic task, hosting, platform, budget and access gates to published dossiers. Each candidate has sourced reasons, explicit unknowns and hosting conflicts. No performance scores, account-access guarantee, inference, purchase or setup action. no-new-subscription does not establish free inference.
```

## Only reads (10)

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

### `botclaw_compare`

- The name "botclaw_compare" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare source-backed capabilities and explicit unknowns for the seven products. Filters can shortlist documented self-managed options. This is official documentation, not a tested product ranking or current account-access guarantee.
```

### `botclaw_get_catalog`

- The name "botclaw_get_catalog" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the seven tracked products, category and content-type IDs, and the public MCP's paging and language options. Use these IDs in other tools.
```

### `botclaw_get_changes`

- The name "botclaw_get_changes" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a sequence-ordered change stream after a decimal cursor. Start at 0, persist nextCursor only after applying the page, and continue while hasMore. Upserts contain the current published projection; withdrawn events contain only ID/revision/date, item=null. Remove withdrawn records locally. Replaying a page is safe. This is not a historical full-text archive.
```

### `botclaw_get_daily`

- The name "botclaw_get_daily" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read public items dated on a real YYYY-MM-DD calendar day in Asia/Shanghai. Omit date for today. This is a date index, not an AI-generated daily report. reviewedAt is a source-review date, not a publication date. Returns 20 items per page.
```

### `botclaw_get_item`

- The name "botclaw_get_item" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read one published record by stable ID, with body, applicable conditions, evidence type, revision and canonical citation URL. Missing or withdrawn records return item=null. Original-source excerpts are not independent execution evidence.
```

### `botclaw_get_latest`

- The name "botclaw_get_latest" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read the latest dated agent news, newest first. Defaults to news; choose content_type guide, experience or review for other reading. Filters are listed by botclaw_get_catalog. Results have 20 items per page; use hasMore and page to continue.
```

### `botclaw_get_observations`

- The name "botclaw_get_observations" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read published bilingual version radar, weekly editions, question guides or product dossiers. Includes full bodies, source dates, review dates and weekly coverage cutoff. Editorial interpretation is not product execution. Use product to include records discussing that product, including multi-product guides.
```

### `botclaw_get_sources`

- The name "botclaw_get_sources" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List public source URLs, source origin (official or independent), collection state, last successful collection, and item counts. Manual sources are editorially reviewed; they are not automatic collectors.
```

### `botclaw_get_workflows`

- The name "botclaw_get_workflows" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find owned, reproducible workflow procedures. Each list entry has a stable ID; call get_item for the steps and actual verification boundary. Only the Node RSS example currently has execution evidence. Does not run workflows.
```

### `botclaw_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search published titles, summaries and owned workflow text using bounded bilingual keyword aliases (1–80 characters). Product, content type and category filters apply. Returns up to 20 records per page, not a generated answer or live-internet search. Use get_item to inspect conditions, evidence and citation URLs.
```
