| 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__how-to__get_how_to` |
| 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.


## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_how_to`

- The name "get_how_to" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read one varg how to card in full as Markdown: a how-to tutorial (best skills with install commands, the options to show the person with example videos, the steps, how it runs on varg) or a skill, component or video type page. Pass the kind and slug from search_how_to.
```

### `search_how_to`

- The name "search_how_to" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find how to make any AI video: searches 2,000+ agent skills, step-by-step how-to tutorials, FFmpeg recipes, video formats, prompts and styles by the task in plain words, in any language ("ugc ad for my serum", "burn captions into a reel", "субтитры для рилс"). Returns ranked cards with a Markdown link to read next. Call it before improvising a video pipeline.
```

      "mcp__how-to__get_how_to"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
