    Why it is in this group

    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Files the drafted appeal for a notice in the account holder's own name. This sends a real appeal to a real council or parking operator and cannot be undone, so confirm with the user first. If the notice is unpaid and not covered by a plan, returns a Stripe checkout_url (£7.99 standard); once paid, AppealGo files it automatically. Name and postal address are required (saved on the profile, or pass them here). Always show the user the checkout_url rather than claiming the appeal was filed.

    Why it is in this group

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

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given the notice type and the date on the notice, returns the discount deadline, the challenge/representations deadline, when escalation can start, and (if you pass a rejection date) the tribunal or POPLA/IAS deadline. Statutory defaults; the notice is authoritative.

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Upload a photo or PDF of a UK parking ticket, council PCN, private parking charge, bus lane, ULEZ or Clean Air Zone notice. AppealGo reads it, identifies the issuer and contravention, finds the grounds to challenge it and drafts the appeal. Checking is free (fair-use cap per key per day); filing costs £7.99 or is covered by a plan, up to its appeal allowance. Provide image_url OR image_base64. Takes 20–90 seconds. Never invent notice details: report exactly what this tool returns.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write3
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as appealgo. Review it before you use it.
