## Exfil surface

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

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

## Findings

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

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

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

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

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

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


## Changes things (2)

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

### `url_scanner_async_scan`

- The description's first verb is "submit": a word for a change.
- 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit a URL for asynchronous security analysis. Returns immediately with a task_id. Poll with url_scanner_async_task_status to check progress, then url_scanner_async_task_result to get the scan result. Async counterpart of url_scanner_scan for clients without native MCP Tasks support.
```

### `url_scanner_async_scan_with_intent`

- The description's first verb is "submit": a word for a change.
- 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit a URL with optional user intent for asynchronous security analysis. Returns immediately with a task_id. Poll with url_scanner_async_task_status to check progress, then url_scanner_async_task_result to get the scan result. Async counterpart of url_scanner_scan_with_intent for clients without native MCP Tasks support.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `url_scanner_async_task_result`

- The description's first verb is "retrieve": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The name "url_scanner_async_task_result" says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve the result of an asynchronous scan task. If completed, returns the full scan result (risk_score, confidence, agent_access_directive, etc.). If still running, returns status with retry_after_ms — call again after that interval. Non-blocking.
```

### `url_scanner_async_task_status`

- The name "url_scanner_async_task_status" says "status": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The name "url_scanner_async_task_status" says "status" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check the status of an asynchronous scan task. Returns the current task status using native MCP task semantics (working, completed, failed, cancelled) without blocking. Use url_scanner_async_task_result to retrieve the result once completed.
```

### `url_scanner_scan`

- The description's first verb is "analyze": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "url_scanner_scan" says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "analyze" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Analyze a URL for security threats (synchronous, blocks until complete or timeout). Returns risk score, confidence, agent access guidance, and intent_alignment (always not_provided for this tool; use url_scanner_scan_with_intent for intent context). For long-running scans, prefer url_scanner_async_scan which returns immediately with a task_id for polling via url_scanner_async_task_result.
```

### `url_scanner_scan_with_intent`

- The description's first verb is "analyze": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "url_scanner_scan_with_intent" says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "analyze" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Analyze a URL for security threats with optional user intent context (synchronous, blocks until complete or timeout). Returns risk score, confidence, agent access guidance, and intent_alignment. For long-running scans, prefer url_scanner_async_scan_with_intent which returns immediately with a task_id for polling via url_scanner_async_task_result.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `preclick`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_task_result",
      "mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_task_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_scan",
      "mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_scan_with_intent",
      "mcp__preclick__url_scanner_scan",
      "mcp__preclick__url_scanner_scan_with_intent"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_scan`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_scan_with_intent`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_task_result`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__preclick__url_scanner_async_task_status`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__preclick__url_scanner_scan`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__preclick__url_scanner_scan_with_intent`: untrusted-input, outbound

```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://preclick.ai/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including url_scanner_async_scan (write), url_scanner_async_scan_with_intent (write)
