## 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__pipefire__analyze_email_headers` `mcp__pipefire__check_mx` `mcp__pipefire__guess_email_addresses` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__pipefire__analyze_email_headers` `mcp__pipefire__check_bimi` `mcp__pipefire__check_blacklists` `mcp__pipefire__check_dkim` `mcp__pipefire__check_dmarc` `mcp__pipefire__check_domain_email_setup` `mcp__pipefire__check_mta_sts` `mcp__pipefire__check_mx` `mcp__pipefire__check_spf` `mcp__pipefire__guess_email_addresses` `mcp__pipefire__suggest_sending_domains` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "generate_spf_record" says "generate": a word for a change.
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "generate_dmarc_record" says "generate": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
