## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | none |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_scout`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a structured paper-based analysis of key signals, methodology, evidence,
experimental conditions and verification points, with author-stated limitations
where available. Use it when these details help assess a candidate, compare findings,
or understand the context of a claim beyond the abstract.
Search results mark supported papers with scout_available=true.
Returns text including figure captions and descriptions. If needed, consult the
original paper through source_url for further verification.
Independent papers can be requested concurrently; up to five concurrent requests
are recommended per batch. For a timeout, wait as indicated and retry the same paper.
```

### `get_usage`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check Scout quota, usage, remaining allowance and reset time, along with plan and
entitlement details. Entitlement expiry and quota reset time describe different events.
```

### `search_papers`

- The name "search_papers" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Discover indexed arXiv papers using titles, authors and abstracts to assess relevance.
Prefer an English research topic or question, preserving important entities and phrases.
For broad questions, consider distinct research dimensions and query each as useful.
Independent queries can run concurrently; 5-10 concurrent requests are recommended
for larger batches. Results can complement findings from other research tools and
sources for broader coverage.
scout_available indicates whether deeper paper-based analysis can be requested
with get_scout; choose further reading according to the evidence needed.
Use from/to as YYYY-MM-DD UTC dates with both days included.
Provide both or neither; each dated query covers at most one calendar month,
with dates available from 2025-08-01 onward. Omit both for all indexed dates.
For timeouts, wait at least retry_after_seconds when supplied before retrying.
```
