## 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 (7)

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

### `cheapest`

- 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
The cheapest current offers (rows: one model at one provider) of one model type, by input price. For the cheapest MODELS of a job (one row per model) use cheapest_models; for a monthly workload use cheapest_for_workload.
```

### `cheapest_for_workload`

- 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
The cheapest offers for a whole monthly workload, ranked by monthly cost in USD: give a preset (a typical job; see workload_presets) and/or your own tokens a month. Best offer of each model; free promos and batch/flex/priority/regional prices left out unless asked. Each row: monthly_cost_usd, prices, context, checked_at, card_url and a ready cite line.
```

### `cheapest_models`

- 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
The n cheapest MODELS for a job (task): each model counted once at its own lowest current price (input tokens by default). One row per model with that price, where it is and card_url.
```

### `dearest_models`

- 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
The n most expensive MODELS for a job (task): each model counted once at its own lowest current price, highest first - the top of the market. Same arguments as cheapest_models.
```

### `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
The cost of a workload (input, output and cached input tokens, number of requests) at every current provider of one model, cheapest first, in USD - what the same job costs where.
```

### `median_models`

- 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
The typical (median) current price of a job (task) across models, and the n models closest to it - what a normal price for this job is. Same arguments as cheapest_models.
```

### `workload_presets`

- 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
The ready-made workloads of cheapest_for_workload: name, what job it is, tokens a month, context needed, model type.
```

## Only reads (6)

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
2 to 5 models side by side: the best current offer of each and, for up to 4, every field compared (lowest and median input/output price, context, max output, providers, regions, a 1M-in/200k-out workload cost), who wins by how many percent, providers selling all, and summary sentences.
```

### `get_card`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One card with its citation. card_id is '<kind>:<key>': offer:<provider>|<model id as the provider writes it> (e.g. offer:anthropic|claude-opus-4), model:<creator>/<model> (e.g. model:anthropic/claude-opus-4), seller:<provider key> (e.g. seller:anthropic). Ids come from search_offers (offer_id, model_id, provider_id) and from the card_url of every result. Works for every seller, a hidden test seller too.
```

### `get_model_prices`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every seller's current price of one model (an id, or a name to search for), cheapest input first.
```

### `list_articles`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
AI Rate Card's articles on AI model prices (the cheapest models by task, price moves, costs), newest first, with their links - to quote or point a reader to.
```

### `search_offers`

- The name "search_offers" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search current AI model offers (one model at one provider = one offer) by words, model type and limits; priced offers first, doubtful prices after sane ones. Each row has offer_id, model_id, provider_id, prices in USD per 1M tokens (or per unit), card_url and a cite line. Next: get_card {"card_id": "offer:<offer_id>"} for one offer, get_model_prices for one model everywhere, estimate_cost / cheapest_for_workload for a cost.
```

### `validate_provider_files`

- The name "validate_provider_files" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
For a provider (seller) joining the catalog: check a models.yaml before putting it online - the same check as the wizard and POST /v1/provider/validate. Give the file's text in `models` (YAML, or the same structure as JSON text); `domain` (the provider's site) makes the model_page checks exact. Returns ok, the problems (file, line, model, path, value, code, message, hint - fix each and call again), the catalog's preview of the models and next_action. Call it before provider_publish; no account needed. Templates: /static/templates/models.min.yaml (required fields only) and models.yaml (every field with hints).
```
