## 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__directory__get_tool` |
| 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.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `latest_releases`

- 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
Newest StackPick release notes, the same records as the changelog, newest first.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `compare_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Side-by-side scores and ranks for two or more tool slugs. Each rank is within that tool's category. Rankings are never paid.
```

### `get_best_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Ranked tools for one category slug, highest score first. Scores and order match the category page. Rankings are never paid.
```

### `get_tool`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One StackPick tool by slug, including its category rank, score, website, and last reviewed date. Rankings are never paid.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List StackPick jobs and the tool slugs ranked in each one. Order matches the category pages. Rankings are never paid.
```

### `search_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search StackPick tools by name, former name, tagline, description, category, or tag. Results use the same score order as the site search.
```
