## 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__swarmnest__get_entry` `mcp__swarmnest__get_skill` `mcp__swarmnest__list_categories` `mcp__swarmnest__search_directory` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__swarmnest__get_entry` `mcp__swarmnest__get_skill` `mcp__swarmnest__list_marketplace_products` `mcp__swarmnest__search_directory` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

```

- **high** References to secrets on disk in `get_skill` ([sensitive-path](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#sensitive-path))

```untrusted-server-text
The description refers to "scripts/network/credentials".

description: "...platforms, install steps per platform, scripts/network/credentials labels, license, author, source URL and..."
