## 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__urlhub__make_set` `mcp__urlhub__preview_links` `mcp__urlhub__read_set` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__urlhub__make_set` `mcp__urlhub__preview_links` `mcp__urlhub__read_set` |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "featured_sets" says "set": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `featured_sets`

- The name "featured_sets" says "set": 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
Lists urlhub's ready sets of the season in a language (gift ideas, films, events, lessons…), each with its address and a short description: links to point someone to who asks for ideas on one of these topics.
```

### `make_set`

- The name "make_set" says "set": a word for a change.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.urls): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Makes a urlhub set from links: a short link that opens a page with every link's picture, title and description, and its QR code as PNG and SVG files. Good when several links should travel together: sent to someone, opened later on a phone, or printed as one QR code on a poster or a slide (gift ideas, products to compare, a reading list, a trip plan, links for a class). With a title (and a description) it publishes the set as a page with that heading, for a set to send round or print; without one it makes a short link. Both are public to anyone who has the link. The same links always give the same link; to change a set, call make_set again. A short link nobody opens for 90 days goes away, a page after a year; long_link, when the list is short enough, holds every link in the address itself and never goes away.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `preview_links`

- The name "preview_links" says "preview": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The input takes a URL (input.urls), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.urls): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reads up to 50 links and returns each one's title, description, site and kind (page, video…), or why it could not be read. Useful before making a set, to check the links work and describe them, or to see what links someone sent are about.
```

### `read_set`

- The name "read_set" says "read": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "read" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reads a urlhub link someone gives you (a short link /c/…, a published page /l/…, a featured set /s/…, or an address with ?urls=) and returns its links with their titles and descriptions as Markdown.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__urlhub__make_set",
      "mcp__urlhub__read_set",
      "mcp__urlhub__preview_links",
      "mcp__urlhub__featured_sets"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__urlhub__make_set`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__urlhub__read_set`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__urlhub__preview_links`: untrusted-input, outbound

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
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.

https://urlhub.cloud/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including make_set (write), featured_sets (write)
