## Exfil surface

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

| 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__backgrounds__list_backgrounds` |
| 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_background` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

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


## Changes things (2)

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

### `generate_background`

- The name "generate_background" says "generate": a word for a change.
- 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
Render a background as SVG or PNG. Deterministic: the same structure, options and seed always give the same image, so store the returned seed. Returns a permanent, cacheable image URL you can use directly in <img>/CSS, plus an inline PNG preview. Call describe_background first to learn which shape options the structure honours.
```

### `suggest_backgrounds`

- 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
Rank structures for a natural-language brief ("dark aurora glow for an AI landing page"). Returns why each matched, matching built-in palettes, and a ready-to-run example request for generate_background.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `describe_background`

- The name "describe_background" says "describe": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full style card for one structure: what it looks like, mood, where text can go, tips, and every parameter it honours with ranges, defaults and the visual effect of low/high values. Also returns the JSON Schema for a generate request.
```

### `list_backgrounds`

- The name "list_backgrounds" says "list": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "browse": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Browse the catalog of background structures. Optionally filter by a free-text query, tag or mood word. Returns name, one-line summary, mood, use cases and a preview URL for each.
```

### `list_brand_kits`

- The name "list_brand_kits" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Saved brand palettes on this account. Pass a kit's slug as `brand` to generate_background to render on-brand without repeating hex colours.
```

### `list_palettes`

- The name "list_palettes" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Built-in curated colour palettes with their hex colours and derived mood tags (dark, pastel, vivid, warm, cool…). Pass the id as palette.palette to generate_background.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__backgrounds__list_backgrounds",
      "mcp__backgrounds__describe_background",
      "mcp__backgrounds__list_palettes",
      "mcp__backgrounds__list_brand_kits"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__backgrounds__suggest_backgrounds",
      "mcp__backgrounds__generate_background"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__backgrounds__list_backgrounds`: untrusted-input
