## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `route_on_mountain`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- 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
Route between named pistes, lifts, the resort base or latitude,longitude coordinates using mapped OSM pistes and lifts. Names match accent-insensitively and partially (exact, then prefix, then contained words); a piste or lift split into several connected OSM pieces counts as one. A lift used as from resolves to its top station, where you ski away; a lift used as to resolves to its bottom station, unless coordinates say otherwise. Ambiguous names return candidates. Coordinates more than 5 km from the resort are rejected. Easy, intermediate and advanced avoid terrain above that level; only expert permits expert, freeride and extreme terrain.
```

## Changes things (4)

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

### `add_snow_report`

- The name "add_snow_report" says "add": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Only relay a report from a person who is at, or was just at, the resort. Never invent a report. The report goes live immediately and is labelled as relayed via an AI assistant.
```

### `plan_my_day`

- 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
Build modelled suggested runs in time order from forecast weather, sun, snow and mapped terrain. Only plans days inside the reported winter season; summer lift or bike-park operation does not count as open for skiing. Easy, intermediate and advanced exclude expert, freeride and extreme terrain; only expert permits it. Suggestions are not a connected route or live piste status.
```

### `suggest_resort`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Suggest a missing resort for human review. This never adds it directly to the resort index.
```

### `where_is_it_snowing`

- 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
Rank the freshest recently reported snow from the cached EM Snow home-page ranking.
```

## Only reads (16)

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

### `avalanche_danger`

- The description's first verb is "summarise": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Summarise the regional avalanche bulletin covering a resort: EAWS in Europe, avalanche.org centres in the US and Avalanche Canada, with zone, issuing centre, issue and expiry times and a link to the official forecast. Expired products are never shown as current. Never substitutes for the official bulletin or local advice.
```

### `best_time_to_go`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get historical snow odds from the local ERA5 archive and quiet-week guidance where the crowd scorer covers the resort.
```

### `fly_this_mountain`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a link that plays a simulated 3D tour of a resort in the EM Snow flyby (lifts up, named runs down, on the mapped piste network), or a tour of runs you name. Pick names match like route_on_mountain; ambiguous names return candidates with picker ids. Status is ready, limited (small mapped network, the tour may be short) or unavailable (too few named runs or no linking lifts; the resort page is returned instead).
```

### `get_conditions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get current snow, reported lift and run counts, weather and season state. Lift and run counts are reported status, not guaranteed live.
```

### `get_extended_outlook`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a 16-day daily outlook (snowfall, temperatures, freezing level, maximum gusts and, for the first days, precipitation probability) from EM Snow's self-hosted GFS and ECMWF IFS models. Days 1 to 7 overlap get_forecast; days 8 to 16 are low-confidence trend guidance only.
```

### `get_forecast`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the available daily snow, temperature, freezing level and wind-hold risk forecast, up to 10 requested days.
```

### `get_resort_media`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get images for a resort that vision-capable assistants can show: nearby webcams with provider credit, a Wikimedia Commons photo with its per-file licence, author and source page, the EM Snow sun and shade teaser where one exists, and the resort page link. No trail-map image is available.
```

### `get_snow_reports`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get recent visible community reports, including whether each came from the website or was relayed by an AI assistant.
```

### `get_webcams`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `mountain_facts`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read mapped OSM terrain inventory, lift fleet, vertical, longest run, carefully matched Wikidata facts, season dates and modelled snow reliability.
```

### `nearby_resorts`

- The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find nearby resorts from the local EM Snow resort index.
```

### `search_resorts`

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

### `season_recap`

- The description's first verb is "summarise": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Summarise the most recent completed ski season from the local ERA5 archive first.
```

### `snow_reliability`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get an explainable snow-reliability score from long-run ERA5 snow depth.
```

### `sun_on_the_mountain`

- The description's first verb is "show": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
