## 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__security__promptguard_status` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "analyze": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `promptguard_redact`

- 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
Redact PII (emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, API keys) from text. Returns sanitized text with each entity replaced by a labeled placeholder, e.g. [EMAIL_REDACTED], [PHONE_REDACTED], [SSN_REDACTED], and the PII types found. Never returns the original text. Each call counts as one Request on your PromptGuard plan.
When to use: Before including user data in LLM prompts, when processing customer messages, or when building RAG pipelines that ingest documents containing personal information.
```

### `promptguard_scan_code`

- The description's first verb is "analyze": a word for reading.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- 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
Analyze code for LLM SDK usage patterns (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Google Gemini, Bedrock). Detects import statements and client instantiations via pattern matching.
When to use: After generating new code that uses LLM SDKs, when reviewing pull requests, or when auditing a codebase for security coverage gaps.
```

### `promptguard_scan_text`

- 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
Scan text for security threats including prompt injection, jailbreaks, PII leakage, and toxic content. Returns a decision (allow/block), confidence score, threat type, and reason. Each call counts as one Request on your PromptGuard plan.
When to use: When reviewing user-facing prompts, testing LLM inputs for safety, or verifying that content is free of injection attacks before sending to an LLM.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `promptguard_status`

- The name "promptguard_status" says "status": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "show" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show whether PromptGuard is set up and signed in, with this server's version and the account or configuration details it knows (the hosted server reports your plan; the local CLI server reports its key type, proxy URL and providers).
When to use: To verify PromptGuard is properly configured, or to confirm which version is running.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__security__promptguard_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__security__promptguard_scan_text",
      "mcp__security__promptguard_scan_code",
      "mcp__security__promptguard_redact"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__security__promptguard_status`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-05T03:18:25.232Z, unchanged since 2026-11-05T03:18:25.232Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

- **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 3 tools that change things (3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.promptguard.co/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including promptguard_scan_text (write), promptguard_scan_code (write), promptguard_redact (write)
```
