## 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__compoundsim__get_asset_returns` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__compoundsim__compare_portfolios` |
| 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 `compare_portfolios` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "compare_portfolios" says "compare": a word for reading.
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "simulate_withdrawal" says "withdrawal": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `simulate_withdrawal`

- The name "simulate_withdrawal" says "withdrawal": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Monte Carlo simulation of withdrawing a yearly percentage of a starting balance, raised with inflation every month, from a portfolio (the 4% rule and its variants). Returns the share of paths that still had money at the end, when the others ran out, the remaining balance range in today's money, the success rate at withdrawal rates from 2% to 8%, and a compoundsim.app url.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `compare_portfolios`

- The name "compare_portfolios" says "compare": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "run" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs the same monthly-investing plan through 2 to 4 portfolios (the same simulation as simulate_portfolio) and returns each one's final outcome range, deepest fall, past return and volatility, and url, for questions like 'S&P 500 or all-country stocks?'.
```

### `simulate_fixed_rate`

- 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
Deterministic compound growth of monthly contributions (plus an optional starting sum) at a fixed annual return. Returns contributions, gains and total by year, and a compoundsim.app url. Use simulate_portfolio for the range of outcomes of real assets.
```

### `simulate_portfolio`

- 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
Monte Carlo simulation of investing monthly (plus an optional starting sum) in one asset or a mix rebalanced monthly. Returns the range of outcomes by year (10th to 90th percentile), the deepest fall along the way, the mix's own past return and volatility, and a compoundsim.app url that shows the same scenario.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `get_asset_returns`

- The name "get_asset_returns" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "calendar": it reads calendars.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Annualised past returns of the assets compoundsim simulates, over the last 5, 10 or 20 years, all the data, or a calendar span: total return with dividends reinvested, price return, the dividends' share, volatility, and the return after US inflation (in USD) or the exchange rate's share of the return (in another currency).
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__compoundsim__get_asset_returns"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__compoundsim__simulate_portfolio",
      "mcp__compoundsim__compare_portfolios",
      "mcp__compoundsim__simulate_withdrawal",
      "mcp__compoundsim__simulate_fixed_rate"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__compoundsim__compare_portfolios`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__compoundsim__get_asset_returns`: private-data
