Annotations and confirmation: readOnly, consequential and untrustedContent
An annotation is a hint the page gives to the agent and the browser: this tool only reads, this one has consequences, this one returns third-party text. A hint is not a lock. That is why the kit's action with side effects also waits for the person to click Confirmar. In this lesson you set the annotations and see the confirmation work.
Start the lesson
In this lesson you will
- 1readOnlyHint: only reads, changes nothing
- 2consequentialHint and the on-screen confirmation
- 3untrustedContentHint: the output carries third-party text
- 4Responding to the request to remove the confirmation
Goal: mark each tool with the right annotation and make the action with consequences wait for the person to click Confirmar on the screen.
01Three annotations, one gate
Click each one. All are booleans and start as false.
An annotation is not authorization. Validate the input in execute and on the server as if the call came from anywhere.
Annotations checked against the 10/16/2026 spec (there is also debugging, for debugging tools). They may change.
02The kit's annotations and third-party text
listar.mjs shows the annotations the agent receives; listar_comentarios returns a comment that tries to give orders to the agent.

tela · resultados: 6 · reservas: Nenhuma reserva.
saída: 0The second comment tells the agent to reserve all the spots. The tool only returns the text, marked as untrustedContentHint; the person decides whether to reserve, by clicking Confirmar.
03Confirmation on screen
reservar_vaga prepares, shows the panel, and waits. Recusar returns reservado:false; Confirmar saves it and shows it in the list.

saída: 0executar.mjs plays the part of the person: it waits for the panel to appear and clicks the requested button.
Marking consequentialHint: true and saving straight in execute leaves the decision to the agent. Lesson 8 shows the test battery catching exactly this: with the confirmation swapped for const ok = true, the check "reserva recusada na tela não reserva" fails.

E2 · Annotate your tool
5 minGive the right annotation to the tool you built in lesson 3 and run the kit's validator (lesson 7 explains the rules).
Done when: node scripts/validar-catalogo.mjs → OK on your tool's line and 0 erros.
E3 · Effects map of your site
10 minList your site's actions in three columns: only reads, returns third-party text, has an effect. For each effect, write where the person confirms.
Done when: Every action in the "has an effect" column has a confirmation screen written next to it.

Question 1 of 4
A tool returns reviews that customers wrote. Which annotation?
Correct
The output carries text the page doesn't control. untrustedContentHint tells the agent to treat it as data. It's also readOnly, since it only reads.Not that one

What guarantees that the kit's booking doesn't happen without the person?

An annotation is a hint, not a lock. What holds is the execute, which only writes after the click. That's why the test battery tests the refuse path.Not that one

Which pair of annotations is contradictory?
Correct
One says nothing changes, the other says there's an effect. The kit's validator rejects the pair. Only reading and returning third-party text at the same time is normal.Not that one
