## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data 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. | `mcp__appealgo__check_notice` `mcp__appealgo__file_appeal` `mcp__appealgo__search_guides` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `explain_contravention_code` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "explain_contravention_code" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "explain_contravention_code" says "explain": a word for reading.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `file_appeal`

- The description says "cannot be undone".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `calculate_deadlines`

- 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
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.
```

### `check_notice`

- The description's first verb is "upload": a word for a change.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `explain_contravention_code`

- The name "explain_contravention_code" says "explain": a word for reading.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What a two-digit council PCN contravention code means (e.g. 01, 12, 30, 34, 62), its penalty band, and the grounds that usually beat it.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_guide`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns a full AppealGo guide as Markdown, with its sources.
```

### `get_notice`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full detail for a notice id returned by check_notice or list_my_notices.
```

### `list_my_notices`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every notice this AppealGo account has scanned, with status and links.
```

### `lookup_appeal_status`

- The name "lookup_appeal_status" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Public status for a customer reference such as PCN-4471A2B9.
```

### `search_contravention_codes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find the code for a description, e.g. 'disabled bay' or 'bus lane'.
```

### `search_guides`

- The name "search_guides" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "search" and "ticket": it reads issues, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search plain-English guides on appealing UK parking tickets: council PCNs, private parking charges (ParkingEye, Euro Car Parks, APCOA...), bus lane, ULEZ, Clean Air Zone, Notice to Owner, TE9 witness statements, London boroughs and contravention codes. Returns slugs to pass to get_guide.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__appealgo__search_guides",
      "mcp__appealgo__get_guide",
      "mcp__appealgo__search_contravention_codes",
      "mcp__appealgo__lookup_appeal_status",
      "mcp__appealgo__list_my_notices",
      "mcp__appealgo__get_notice"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__appealgo__explain_contravention_code",
      "mcp__appealgo__calculate_deadlines",
      "mcp__appealgo__check_notice"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__appealgo__file_appeal"
    ]
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__appealgo__search_guides`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__appealgo__check_notice`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__appealgo__file_appeal`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:27:37.518Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:27:37.518Z. 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 |

| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `4` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |

- **high** 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 4 tools that change things (1 destructive, 3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://appealgo.com/api/mcp: tools/list returned 10 tools to an anonymous client, including file_appeal (destructive), explain_contravention_code (write), calculate_deadlines (write), check_notice (write)
