## 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__study-tools__ask_ai_tutor` `mcp__study-tools__generate_citation` `mcp__study-tools__generate_flashcards` `mcp__study-tools__generate_quiz` `mcp__study-tools__generate_study_plan` `mcp__study-tools__generate_thesis_statement` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__study-tools__generate_citation` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (6)

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

### `ask_ai_tutor`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `study-tools`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__study-tools__list_my_flashcards",
      "mcp__study-tools__list_my_quizzes"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__study-tools__generate_study_plan",
      "mcp__study-tools__generate_thesis_statement",
      "mcp__study-tools__generate_citation",
      "mcp__study-tools__ask_ai_tutor",
      "mcp__study-tools__generate_quiz",
      "mcp__study-tools__generate_flashcards"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

- `mcp__study-tools__generate_thesis_statement`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__study-tools__generate_citation`: 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 6 tools that change things (6 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://scholar.0xpi.com/api/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including generate_study_plan (write), generate_thesis_statement (write), generate_citation (write), ask_ai_tutor (write), generate_quiz (write) and 1 more
