## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged outbound.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__africa-scam-check__africa_scams_list_patterns` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__africa-scam-check__africa_scams_list_patterns` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `africa_scams.check_message`

- 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
Use this when someone in Kenya or Nigeria shares a text, a WhatsApp message, an email or an account of a phone call about mobile money, a bank, a prize, a job, an investment, a loan or a request for money, and wants to know which known fraud patterns it resembles. It returns the patterns the wording resembles, what the bodies that describe them say to do, and where to report, each with its source. It does not judge the message: say so, and never tell someone a message is fine because nothing matched. Do not use it for other countries, for legal advice, or to decide whether to pay. Leave any PIN, password or one-time code out of what you pass to it.
```

### `africa_scams.where_to_report`

- 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
Use this when someone in Kenya or Nigeria asks where to report fraud on a phone, a bank account or mobile money, or what the banks and authorities say to do after money or details have gone to a fraudster. It gives the reporting channels the bodies publish and the steps they give, each with its source. Do not use it for other countries or for legal advice, do not suggest that money will be recovered, and leave any PIN, password or one-time code out of what you pass to it.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `africa_scams.list_patterns`

- The name "africa_scams.list_patterns" says "list": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "message": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "message": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this when someone asks which frauds the banks, mobile networks and public bodies of Kenya or Nigeria have described, or how a named one works (for example a fake reversal instruction, a one-ring call from abroad, or a message about your BVN). Do not use it for other countries, and do not present the list as complete: it covers patterns that were found described on the bodies' own pages. Do not use it to decide whether a message is fine.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `africa-scam-check`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__africa-scam-check__africa_scams_list_patterns"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__africa-scam-check__africa_scams_check_message",
      "mcp__africa-scam-check__africa_scams_where_to_report"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__africa-scam-check__africa_scams_list_patterns`: private-data, untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-11T09:23:30.690Z, unchanged since 2026-11-11T09:23:30.690Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |

| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `2` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://kwekuanansi.ai/mcp/africa-scam-check: tools/list returned 3 tools to an anonymous client, including africa_scams.check_message (write), africa_scams.where_to_report (write)
