## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__npi__lookup_npi` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__npi__count_by_specialty` `mcp__npi__lookup_npi` `mcp__npi__search_providers` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

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

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

description: "...r from the live CMS NPI Registry: name, credential, status, primary specialty (taxonomy),..."
```


## Only reads (4)

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

### `count_by_specialty`

- The name "count_by_specialty" says "count": a word for reading.
- 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
How many providers does the NPI Registry list for a specialty, optionally in a state or ZIP prefix? Exact up to 1,200; beyond that it says "1200+" and points to the full-list route. Up to 5 specialties per call.
```

### `lookup_npi`

- The name "lookup_npi" says "lookup": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "credential": it reads secrets.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch 1-20 providers by NPI number from the live CMS NPI Registry: name, credential, status, primary specialty (taxonomy), practice address and phone. Check digits are validated first; invalid and unknown numbers are reported separately.
```

### `search_providers`

- The name "search_providers" says "search": a word for reading.
- 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
Search the live NPI Registry by first/last name, organization name, specialty (taxonomy description as the registry writes it, e.g. "Family Medicine", "Dentist"), state (2 letters), city or ZIP. Needs at least one of name, organization, specialty, city or ZIP (a state alone is refused by CMS). Returns up to 50 rows and how many exist (capped at 1,200). Full lists beyond that: https://tuper.app/tools/npi-list-by-specialty/?src=mcp-npi
```

### `validate_npi`

- The name "validate_npi" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Offline check of up to 50 NPI numbers: 10 digits and the Luhn check digit (prefix 80840). Does not call CMS, so it cannot say whether the number is issued; use lookup_npi for that.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `npi`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__npi__validate_npi",
      "mcp__npi__lookup_npi",
      "mcp__npi__search_providers",
      "mcp__npi__count_by_specialty"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__npi__lookup_npi`: private-data, untrusted-input
- `mcp__npi__search_providers`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__npi__count_by_specialty`: untrusted-input
