## 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__via-gateway__via_api_compare` `mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_page` `mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_web_lite` `mcp__via-gateway__via_get_service` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_page` `mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_web_lite` |

## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "via_api_compare" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

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


## Changes things (3)

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

### `via_api_compare`

- The name "via_api_compare" says "compare": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare APIs for a buyer task. Pay0.01 USDC on Base with an authorized x402 wallet, or0.01 USD of prepaid VIA credit if your MCP connection has an x-credit-token header. Prepaid calls require requestId: a fresh UUID per task, reused only to retry the same task without another debit. Returns a recommendation and alternatives. Supplier purchase is separate.
```

### `via_extract_page`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Extract structured text from a public web page or PDF for 0.02 USDC on Base via x402. Payment is only made after buyer approval.
```

### `via_extract_web_lite`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Web Text Lite: extract clean text, title and headings from a public HTML or plain-text page (up to 1 MiB, max 10000 characters; no PDF, OCR, JavaScript rendering or links) for 0.001 USDC on Base via x402. PDF URLs are refused before payment; use via_extract_page (0.02 USDC) for PDFs. Nothing is charged if extraction fails. Payment is only made after buyer approval.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `via_get_service`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free integration instructions for one VIA HTTP service: exact endpoint, JSON input schema, example and x402 payment steps. Does not execute the service or authorize payment.
```

### `via_list_services`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free VIA service discovery. Lists HTTP services and advertised prices; does not run research, charge, sign or purchase.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `via-gateway`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__via-gateway__via_list_services",
      "mcp__via-gateway__via_get_service"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_web_lite",
      "mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_page",
      "mcp__via-gateway__via_api_compare"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__via-gateway__via_get_service`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_web_lite`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__via-gateway__via_extract_page`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__via-gateway__via_api_compare`: untrusted-input
