| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__medicines-drugs__fda_device_problem_reports` |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (10)

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

### `drug_brand_names`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What brand names is this drug sold under? Lists the US brand names whose products contain a generic ingredient (e.g. simvastatin: Zocor, Vytorin, Flolipid), with RxCUI codes, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine RxNorm. Useful for travellers, carers and anyone comparing US and UK medicine names. Brands are US only (UK-only brands are not listed), the list includes combination products containing the ingredient, and it does not say which brands are currently marketed. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `drug_contraindicated_conditions`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Who should not take this drug? Lists the medical conditions a drug is recorded as contraindicated with (ci_with) in the US Veterans Health Administration MED-RT reference, via the U.S. National Library of Medicine RxClass (e.g. metformin: Renal Insufficiency, Liver Diseases, Acidosis), with MeSH condition IDs. Useful for students, carers and agents doing a first-pass reference check. It is a reference list, not the full warnings in a product label; drug-drug interactions are not covered, and anyone affected should check with a pharmacist or prescriber. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `drug_generic_ingredient`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What is the generic name of this brand? Returns the active ingredient or ingredients of a US brand-name medicine (e.g. Zocor: simvastatin; Vytorin: ezetimibe and simvastatin), with RxCUI codes, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine RxNorm. Useful for patients, travellers and pharmacy staff looking for the generic equivalent. Brand names must be US ones known to RxNorm; it does not compare prices or say whether a generic is interchangeable for a given patient. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `drug_listed_uses`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What conditions is this drug used for? Lists the conditions a drug is recorded as able to treat (may_treat) in the US Veterans Health Administration MED-RT reference, via the U.S. National Library of Medicine RxClass (e.g. metformin: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2), with MeSH condition IDs. Useful for students, carers and agents wanting a short structured list rather than label prose. MED-RT is a reference terminology, not a full or current list of licensed indications, and off-label uses are not covered; not medical advice. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `drug_name_match`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What is the standard name and ID for this medicine? Matches a messy drug name, brand, or name-plus-strength (e.g. 'zocor 10mg', 'metformin 500') to the closest US RxNorm concepts and their RxCUI codes, best match first, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine RxNav approximate-match service. Useful as the first step for medication lists, reconciliation and any tool that needs an RxCUI. Matches are ranked by text similarity, not checked clinically; only RxNorm-source names are returned, and non-US brand names may not match. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `drug_pharmacologic_class`

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

Useful for patients, students and agents answering 'is it an SSRI / statin / opioid?'. Classes come from FDA product labels only, so older or non-US drugs may have none; it does not describe effects, safety or dosing. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `drug_spelling_suggest`

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

Useful for voice and OCR input, chat agents and anyone typing a prescription name from memory. Suggestions are names in the US RxNorm vocabulary only, without strengths; they say nothing about whether a drug is right for anyone. (cost: 1 credit)
```

For pharmacists, procurement teams and patients. Source: U.S. FDA openFDA drug shortages. US supply only, not UK or NHS stock; the FDA list does not show local pharmacy stock. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `fda_drug_side_effects_reported`

- 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.

Popular with patients, journalists and pharmacovigilance work. Source: U.S. FDA openFDA FAERS. Reports are unverified, include every drug the patient was taking, and do not show the medicine caused the reaction or how common it is; label side effect rates are a different measure. (cost: 1 credit)
