## 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__directory__get_tool` `mcp__directory__search_tools` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__directory__list_categories` |
| 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 (1)

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

### `best_for_task`

- 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
Suggest AgentScout tools for a task described in plain words (e.g. 'scrape websites with an agent'), ranked by relevance with listed GitHub stars as a tiebreak. Optional pricing and open-source filters.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_tool`

- The name "get_tool" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "get" and "repo": it reads repositories.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the full AgentScout listing for one tool by its slug (from search_tools results), including key features, platforms, GitHub repo and stars.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List every AgentScout category with its tool count and page URL.
```

### `search_tools`

- The name "search_tools" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "directory": it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the AgentScout directory of AI agent tools and MCP servers by keyword, with optional category, pricing and open-source filters. Returns up to 25 matches with pricing as the maker states it and the AgentScout listing URL.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__directory__search_tools",
      "mcp__directory__get_tool",
      "mcp__directory__list_categories"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__directory__best_for_task"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__directory__search_tools`: private-data
- `mcp__directory__get_tool`: private-data
- `mcp__directory__list_categories`: untrusted-input
