## 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__photo-book__create_book` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__photo-book__create_payment_quote` |

## Findings

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

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

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

- **info** The word "credentials" in `pay_book` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

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

description: "...e same call with the authorized payment credential in _meta. This charges the buyer."
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `pay_book`

- The name "pay_book" says "pay": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Buy the exact quoted book using native MPP. Only after the buyer approves its total and delivery address. Supply quoteId and bookToken. A payment challenge is returned through JSON-RPC; retry the same call with the authorized payment credential in _meta. This charges the buyer.
```

## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `create_payment_quote`

- The name "create_payment_quote" says "create": a word for a change.
- The name "create_payment_quote" also says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.shippingAddress.phone): what the tool writes goes there.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Prepare a fixed payment quote for a printed book, including shipping, for MPP and, when listed, x402 (USDC on Base). Requires a complete delivery address. No charge yet. Ask the user to confirm before paying: pay_book for MPP, or POST paymentUrl with an x402 client for USDC. Quote expires after 15 minutes.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `create_book`

- The name "create_book" says "create": a word for a change.
- 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
Use this when the person wants a photo book (Dutch: fotoboek) made from photos they attached, direct image links, or a public iCloud Shared Album link. Designs a draft book from the photos in the supplied order; nothing is ordered or charged. Photos the person attached in this chat go in attachments, which ChatGPT fills in; never pass local file paths. Otherwise provide direct CDN image URLs or uploadIds from POST /api/connector/photos in photos, or a public iCloud Shared Album link as sharedAlbumUrl (https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#TOKEN). A book needs at least 24 pages to be printed, so a handful of photos gives a book that can be viewed but not yet ordered. Returns a preview and a private link to save the book by email. No account setup. Allow up to 180 seconds for imports.
```

### `create_checkout`

- The name "create_checkout" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Prepare an optional Stripe checkout link after email claim, using the bookToken. No charge occurs until the user confirms payment at Stripe. Collect the destination country first. Reuse idempotencyKey on retry.
```

### `start_photo_book`

- The name "start_photo_book" says "start": 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
Use this when someone wants to make a printed photo book (Dutch: fotoboek) or photo album but has not shared any photos yet. Shows a card where they pick the photos, in order, right here. Nothing is ordered or charged.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `compare_photo_book_prices`

- The name "compare_photo_book_prices" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this when someone asks what a photo book (Dutch: fotoboek) costs, how foto foto's price compares with other services, or which services sell a layflat book, a linen cover or fine-art paper. Prices one book (binding, cover, paper, pages) at foto foto and at albelli, CEWE, Fotofabriek, Pixum, smartphoto, Kruidvat, Profotonet and Saal Digital, cheapest first, with the page each price was read from. List prices in euros with VAT, without shipping or discounts. For a book that was already made, get_book gives its price with shipping. Free, changes nothing.
```

### `get_book`

- The name "get_book" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use this to show a book that was already made, or to get its price for one copy including shipping when country is supplied. Needs the book's private bookToken. Photos, cover, title, layout and materials are changed in the foto foto editor.
```

### `get_catalog`

- The name "get_catalog" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List book types, shipping countries and photo requirements. Free.
```
