  "finding": "One of the tools this server lists to an anonymous caller still refuses that caller: list_tests answers 'sign in required: call this from a signed-in dashboard session', the same text as on 2026-09-23. The refusal arrives inside a 200 as a JSON-RPC result, so nothing reading status lines can see it. The entry's noAccountNeeded cell stays true, because computing a brief needs no account (companion record p-20261009-livevariant-mcp-tools-call-keyless, one second later), but it is not true of every tool the server advertises. This record exists so the boundary of the keyless surface has a transcript with a sent line.",
