## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | none |
| 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 (2)

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

### `cheapest_models_for`

- 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
Rank models by monthly cost for a workload. Use a preset (chatbot, rag, coding_agent, research_agent) or give token numbers.
```

### `estimate_cost`

- 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
Estimate the monthly API cost of an AI agent or chatbot on one model. Easiest: pass model + preset (chatbot, rag, coding_agent, research_agent). Or give input_tokens, output_tokens and calls_per_day (plus optional steps_per_task, cached_percent); explicit numbers override the preset.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `compare_models`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare 2-5 models on price and (optionally) on the monthly cost of one workload.
```

### `get_model_price`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Current API list price of one model (input, output, cached input per 1M tokens) plus example monthly agent costs.
```

### `list_models`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List LLMs tracked by Agent Cost Hub with API list prices per 1M tokens. Optional filter by provider or text.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `agent-cost-hub`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__agent-cost-hub__list_models",
      "mcp__agent-cost-hub__get_model_price",
      "mcp__agent-cost-hub__compare_models"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__agent-cost-hub__estimate_cost",
      "mcp__agent-cost-hub__cheapest_models_for"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-02T00:18:30.021Z, unchanged since 2026-11-02T00:18:30.021Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `2` |

- **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://agentcosthub.com/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including estimate_cost (write), cheapest_models_for (write)
