**13 tools: 1 can delete or cancel things, 4 change things and 8 only read.**

## 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__optiondesk__option_strategy_plot` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__optiondesk__option_strategy_plot` |
| 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 `option_plots_from_snapshot` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "option_plots_from_snapshot" 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 "option_plots_from_snapshot" says "snapshot": a word for reading.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `option_delete_snapshot`

- The name "option_delete_snapshot" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Delete one short-lived imported dashboard before its automatic one-hour expiry.
```

## Changes things (4)

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

### `option_import_snapshot`

- The name "option_import_snapshot" says "import": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Import user-supplied option-chain data into a bearer-private interactive dashboard. Delete the artifacts after one hour.
```

### `option_plots`

- 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
Render opaque PNG plots in the conversation. The SYNTH sample offers the market plot (dealer gamma exposure, open interest, volume and the smile by strike), the Greek ladder, and the structure comparison. Each is computed from the sample's own engine artifacts; there is no simulation or backtest for SYNTH because the hosted service has no price history.
```

### `option_plots_from_snapshot`

- The name "option_plots_from_snapshot" says "snapshot": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.
- 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
Create opaque market and Greek PNG images from a user-supplied snapshot. Stamp source, capture time, expiry, and warnings on every image. Delete temporary files before the response.
```

### `option_private_dashboard`

- The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a private interactive dashboard from user-supplied data. The bearer URL and all derived artifacts expire after one hour.
```

## Only reads (8)

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

### `option_chain_snapshot`

- The name "option_chain_snapshot" says "snapshot": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Summarize SYNTH or analyze a user-supplied option chain for private analysis. This service never fetches market data.
```

### `option_desk_status`

- The name "option_desk_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check the Option Desk data mode, source, refresh time, and public licence gate before requesting figures. No live feed or hosted backtest tool exists, even with uploaded history. Do not offer hosted backtests.
```

### `option_positioning`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return gamma walls, gamma flip, and max pain from SYNTH or a user-supplied chain. Dealer signs are an assumption, not observed positions.
```

### `option_report_plots`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the market map, Greek ladder, strategy comparison and up to three requested payoff charts in ONE widget. Prefer this tool for multi-chart reports instead of parallel individual plot calls. Includes strategy_records, Greek units, scenarios and cost assumptions. Use those records for tables; never invent currency or a multiplier. Uses SYNTH or a user-supplied chain; never fetches live data.
```

### `option_snapshot_schema`

- The name "option_snapshot_schema" says "snapshot": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the accepted CSV and JSON option-chain fields, safe repair rules, size limits, data-rights confirmation, and retention policy.
```

### `option_strategy_from_snapshot`

- The name "option_strategy_from_snapshot" says "snapshot": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Build one option structure from a user-supplied chain and return its opaque payoff PNG with permanent source and risk warnings.
```

### `option_strategy_plot`

- The description's first verb is "show": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "show" and "conversation": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "show" and "conversation": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show an option-strategy payoff as an opaque PNG in the conversation. Any structure in the engine playbook can be built on the SYNTH sample chain. A market ticker requires user-supplied chain data. Do not start a localhost dashboard.
```

### `option_validate_snapshot`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validate and safely normalize a user-supplied option-chain snapshot. Return corrections and a summary. Delete all temporary files before the response.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__optiondesk__option_desk_status",

      "mcp__optiondesk__option_import_snapshot",
      "mcp__optiondesk__option_plots_from_snapshot"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__optiondesk__option_delete_snapshot"
    ]
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__optiondesk__option_strategy_plot`: private-data, untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:28:07.466Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:28:07.466Z. 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 | `5` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |

| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

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

https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/mcp: tools/list returned 13 tools to an anonymous client, including option_delete_snapshot (destructive), option_plots (write), option_private_dashboard (write), option_import_snapshot (write), option_plots_from_snapshot (write)
