## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_mtd`

- 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
Says whether a UK sole trader or landlord must use Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax, from when, and why, using the qualifying income tests in HMRC's rules (SI 2026/336). Give the person's income types and, for each tax year you know, their qualifying income: self-employment turnover plus property income before expenses, counting only their share of jointly owned property. Returns the start date, the reasons, GOV.UK sources and a link to the matching Landlord Lookout page.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `find_mtd_software`

- The name "find_mtd_software" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists software from HMRC's list of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax software that meets the needs given, in fit order (no product pays for its place). Filters: income types, how records are kept now (spreadsheets needs bridging software), a free plan, number of properties, filing the year-end tax return, other income, VAT, Welsh, and where it runs. Each product comes with its price, why it fits, what to watch out for, its HMRC listing, the vendor's website and a link to Landlord Lookout.
```

### `get_mtd_deadlines`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The next Making Tax Digital for Income Tax deadlines from today: the next quarterly update (with the period it covers) and the next Self Assessment tax return and payment date, plus the upcoming list, the penalty rules that apply now and a calendar feed. Give start_year to see only the dates for people who start MTD that year.
```

### `get_mtd_software_product`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Facts about one product on HMRC's list of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax software, by name: price, free plan, income types, whether it files the year-end tax return, VAT, Welsh, where it runs, its HMRC listing, the vendor's website and a link to Landlord Lookout. If several products match, returns their names to choose from.
```
