    Description, as the server wrote it
    Make one link that saves up to 50 articles to the reader's hamir library, each with an optional note. Show the link to the reader: it opens hamir on their iPhone, and nothing is saved until they confirm there.

    Why it is in this group

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

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

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

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write5
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://hamir.app/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including todays_coverage (write), save_articles (write)

    What this check looks for

Install

Pinned to version 0.1.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http hamir https://hamir.app/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__hamir__search",
      "mcp__hamir__fetch",
      "mcp__hamir__search_sources",
      "mcp__hamir__get_source_articles",
      "mcp__hamir__list_packs",
      "mcp__hamir__get_pack"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__hamir__todays_coverage",
      "mcp__hamir__save_articles"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as hamir. Review it before you use it.
